What have you done to your MS3 today?

One more example of the people who sell it not knowing a whole lot about it. I got mine online. I believe the site said something like "not recommended" or some such. I figured it was because they might not stay put at 155. Since it's very unlikely I'll take her that fast, I went for it.

I've taken it up to ~135, and they stay put, haha, but idk about 155, and I have to agree, Ill probably never go that fast unless I find a deserted runway with a 3 mile radius of nothing ness
 
No place around here to wring one out anymore, either. I bet 135 in a 70 would cost a kilobuck or more, plus offer some county-provided accommodations for a period of time.
 
Found out that my "clunk" really was the shifter weight beating the crap out of my intake, due to the intake breaking away from the mounting point near the filter. So had to bolt it back down, then ordered the PG shifter weight.
 
Bought a resonated test pipe. Originally a 3" PTP pipe with a huge ass dynomax reso welded in. First power mod bought since my damn SRI/TIP! Unless you count the three different BOVs/BPVs... and I don't.
 
Got a new turbo and turbo oil lines courtesy of Mazda.I had the dreaded 'Smoke Condition' and an oil leak from the turbo's center housing. Also, the Air/Fuel Ratio sensor was replaced. The part number for the turbo is L3Y3-13-70ZC, if anyone may need it.

bought the first gen Forge BPV, received yellow overlays for the foglights, and soon ordering the pool ball shift knob.

It's the little things that matter.

100% agreed. this summer, ill be doing a Cobb knob, Rally Armor mudflaps, Lamin-X headlight/fog/tail light tinted covers, painting the calipers, maybe a rear spoiler extension, and possibly Rota G-Force gun metal wheels...
 
Does anyone know if CP-E's motor mounts are indeed in stock? Their website says they are, but before I order, I want to make sure. If so, I am going to order that today and then I will be taking off my TRZ dog bone and putting up for sale a long with my turbosmart SU by pass valve, and my H & R springs.
 
I have the TRZ with the delrin bushing and the vibe are brutal.

Tell me when you get your CP-E 60, i want to know if it's near the stock motor mount

Holy s*** lol. I am putting my CP-e 60 duro on today, and pulling off my poly TRZ after only 3500 miles. I'm sick of te vibes.

Bingo! at first it didn't bother me, because I was younger and I loved the more raw performance feel. But now that I daily drive it to work and I just want something close to stock, it just does not suit my needs. The mount does it's job, but the noises/vibes kill me. I think it's because I am getting older and s***. Maybe I should just trade the car in on a cadillac?
 
Also, the Air/Fuel Ratio sensor was replaced.

i think you mean O2 sensor, which tells the computer what's going on in the exhaust so the computer can calculate the AFRs

in order to have an AFR sensor it would have to be placed in the combustion chamber and get readings during the compression stroke
 
holy crap....give me moarrr review!! what about the 2k to 2.5k vibrating and dash rattles and what about tranny/engine noise? are the noises still there??

Well, I know for a fact that the TRZ sucks s*** when it is cold out. I have not driven the CP-e in the cold yet, but I swear to god, the second I started the car, I noticed how different it was. It feels like a rolls royce compared to the TRZ. No accelerating rattles whatsoever(so far, in 80 degrees heat), but its also not broken in yet, so it should only get better. No dash rattle, no more really annoying tranny whines, and the car seems hugely quieter from the interior. I am impressed with the CP-e quality. I will write up a full review shortly, but let me know what else you want to know.
