What have you done to your MS3 today?

[WillD]

The Harbor Freight stuff gets the job done most of the time. So is the Dremel 3x as good as the Black and Decker deal? $30 vs $90: http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=116767-353-4000-3%2f34&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3069949&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1

And do you guys think someone will want my OEM speed3 shocks with 80,000 miles on them? (Fronts only, both rears are toast).

 

[Rotus]

I might want the fronts, lol. One of mine was toast, but I'm not ready to sell the car just yet.

 

[LaraS]

Sold her this morning. -sniff-

 

[Domino81]

That's really terrible news.

 

[LaraS]

I was really sad to see her go. I know the new owner will take very good care of her though.

i said the same thing about my classic playboy mags i sold at a yard sale to a 14 year old kid. Found out later he had to toss them because he couldnt stop the pages from sticking together

i think i will not be sad when i sell mine....because more than likely i will drive it until it becomes too costly to maintain, since i just bought a house and am trying to fix her up

Installed my AWR passenger mount. Nice piece. Mostly well made. The only complaint is the height of the AWR vs. the stock unit. It is bout 1/4" shorter, so the motor is canted a little. I might cut a piece out of 1/4" bar stock as a shim if it really bugs me.

Even though I have 2 other aftermarket mounts (Medievaal trans and TRZ rear) this last piece really stiffens everything up. I have also noticed an increase in cabin vibrations (at idle) and noise. The noise I can live with, the idle vibes I'll tune out with the Hypertech (another +50rpm).

8.5MS3, how did you test to see the MAF was bad?

 

[8.5MS3]

fuel trims started going off the wall randomly

that and i would plateau my g/s at about 275 (4.7v on the MAF, stock size housing)

now im hitting 290g/s @ 5600, but couldnt go further cuz its snowing here and direzza's dont like that, also doing 100mph in the snow on those is kinda scary

 

[Domino81]

Yeah, from the snow capital of the US... take it and ******* suck on it. We'll more than make up for it twice this winter.

 

[8.5MS3]

Finally got around to ordering a new end link from Mazda Motorsports so I can finish the Koni project.

oh muh gawd. I will never own a car that will have that much power in stock form, let alone modded

 

[8.5MS3]

end of the day he reached 517

 

[Domino81]

That's cool.

 

[oaklandopen]

end of the day he reached 517

thats like 570bhp if you give it 10% drivetrain loss. And i think loss is more than 10%

 

[Domino81]

15-17% is average.

 

[JamesCH]

What engine internals does that car have?

 

[chimmike]

In the midst of a clutch/flywheel install and battery relocation, and grimmspeed ebcs install.
