What have you done to your MS3 today?

omg not yellow, I love you (no homo). Those wheels will look GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

thanks, buddy(no but sex). i took the tires off my MX-5s thinking i was going to refinish the wheels. put the tires up for sale, then ended up selling both the wheels and tires, and finding a good deal on the axis halos. it all just suddenly came together...
 
Got her a cover so she doesn't get all gross from being parked outside. :D

why are you switching test pipes?
don't worry about all the issues, more mods should fix it!
 
Cs tp is the true 3" 80mm one. Doesn't mate to my cobb cbe which is 65mm

Oh and the tp is pushing my cbe slightly out of alignment, causing the resonator to vibrate against the bottom brace and the hangers to vibrate against the tunnel.

I'd rather get a diff car than a bt build at this point. If I'm having all kinds of issues at this point I can't imagine what issues I'd have with a build.

Not to mention I just bought a house and am in the middle of renovating. Cars getting no money put into it for a while
 
that really sucks man. why didnt mazda replace the turbo the first time you had issues? didnt you finally get it smoking for them?
 
yea i did, but that TSB said to switch to 5w40 and if it stops end there

now theres a new TSB that says if its smoking, replace the turbo. no oil bs thing

but apparently i cant use my previous smoking to get a new turbo, so i just gotta force the car to smoke

when i install my tp i will pour oil into the midpipe, bolt it up and tow it within 5 blocks of the dealer, start it up and give everyone in that goddamn service bay carbon monoxide poisoning
 
yeah man fvckin stick it to them!!! it really sounds like your car was destined for failure from the getgo... not the mods' fault it seems.

Congrats about the house BTW, and GL with the money situation.. Im currently saving up myself for one, the fiance would definitely not be happy about time/money spent on the car right now (hope nothing goes wrong with it lol)
 
yea it had nothing to do with 19psi @ redline ;)

i guess thats what i get for getting almost as much power as fully bolted ppl with just an intake haha.

did i push it too far? lol

but yea it sucks i think im the first to have it not only leaking oil into the exhaust, but out of the car as well

thanks for the congrats, at 23 its gonna be real tough for a while, living paycheck to paycheck. growing up sucks

check out my driveway
