What have you done to your MS3 today?

[oaklandopen]

Originally i thought the wiring would be the same because the actual function of the fogs are no different. Like in any other car the fogs cannot be used in conjunction with the high beams, and generally (save a few manufacturers) cannot be used unless the low beams are on as well

there are several added components with the gt that made me (and i guess others) assume the wiring and/or fuses were different from the sport, like auto headlights for one.

With electronics, unless you have the wiring diagram in front of you and you have a keen understanding of everything, its kind of difficult to determine what components are used in conjunction with others. Even going from a sport to a gt

BTW, I pm'ed you a photoshop request earlier today, hope it's not asking too much. :/

No problem.. I'll try to get to it for you by the end of the day. =)

Installed a JBarone Short Shift Plate and solid shifter bushings. RMM will have to wait until I acquire a torque wrench.

You are the best. I know I am a pest when it comes to photoshops, but yours are the best ones I've ever seen. The last one you did for my buddy solid him on all the mods for his car, and it now looks exactly how you photoshopped it originally

Not my Mazda but I did the independent fog light mod on another friends 3. He has a 2004 Mazda 3 with stock HID's. I did it to where he can run the fogs with the key in the on position without the parking lights running. Pics a couple posts down.

just use a 1/2 ratchet and pull or push very hard. Thats pretty close actually. But check it a couple times after driving around. with a torque wrench at some point. I do not recall but i may have used a drop or two of the blue loctite 242. Go for it, and welcome to the forums mtbjunkie00!

Apparently this week the thing to do is the independent fog mod... I need to get my s*** together and get it done!

That's exactly how mine went it, as hard as I could with a 1/2in breaker bar, checked with a torque wrench later and it was perfect. I think I used red-loctite on mine though.

Uh, if your ssp job has not slipped, or stripped, I think youll be fine without a "torkwench"

Really

Head bolts, mains, rod caps (unless you can mic the bolt) thats about all i think you need a tw for
Oh; the starter motor on a yamaha xv 920rh. pos design
