ah, but is it the same colour as yours? there's another mid blue a couple blocks from my place that is all stock; earlier this spring i took a couple pics of morrigan and that one together, just to see how they compared. i'll have to post it up - i'm at work right now, so i'll do that later tonight - it's neat.

actually yes it is the same color. mines just an 03.5 with no roof rack, this is an 02 with polished rims and a roof rack

my girl will need an oil change shortly, all the mountain runs rack up the km pretty quick

i use amsoil and the oem mazda filter.... jdm oem that is one of the independent shops in town specializes in mazdas and they bring these filters in. and yes, they are better than the usdm ones - i've seen them side by side; never compared one to the k&n though... i should one of these days.

but i have never changed the oil myself i wouldn't mind learning how to though; just need someone to help/show me how a few times

*raises hand* i'm part of that group too - and make no apologies for it

whenever she's in the shop, no matter the reason, i'm always hovering around, keeping an eye on what the mechanics/techs are doing... they must think i'm off my rocker or something, lol

 

[Yaggie1]

wtf? did something hit/fall on it?? very bizarre...


I really don't know. Coulda been a stone I guess..............It was still cracking when I walked up to it.................

Can't get it in until Mon for a replacement...........Thank god one of my best friends is up camping so I can borrow his Focus ST. Kinda nice ripping around in a 5 spd for a change......

psh we are talking about ppl that do their own work because they are anal. not watch. psh

 

[Salmon_Rob]

and the k & n has the best filtering of any oil filter on the market. up to 20% more than oem. which is good

Is that with 215/45s on? I dunno for some reason those tires always look too beefy to me on the MSP... maybe it is the shape of the wheels.

to be honest, i love the look of the 215/45s on my car... enhances the stance of the car, imo. while i have these rims (and i don't plan on changing any time soon), i doubt i will go to another size.

Are you lowered? I really didn't think 215/45s could fit without rubbing. My 215/40s would rub occassionally (really not too often), and I have 0 rubbing with the 205/40s. I would much rather have gone with a 205/45 if the ones I got weren't such a good deal at the time.

yep - Ion sport springs, ~1.2" all around, w/illuminas. since i got the new setup - susp and wheels/tires - put on in april, i've done some pretty hard cornering and no rub. but then again, i have the msp rh's, so that plays a large role (50 or 55 offset, can never remember, lol) in this

i should actually take a pic of how close everything is

as promised... my 'twin'

looks pretty good, but mine looks better - though, i am a little biased

Wow - you can really see the difference an inch makes (hey now! ) I was shocked when bolting on the Racing Hart's at the visual impact. The high offset must be the reason there are no rubs.

*edit: with the 215's

yeah, i know. heavy bastards (i think one rim/tire is about half my body weight, haha) but they look so damn good. best looking oem rim mazda's put out, imho. i think i have a bare inch between the top of the tire and the bottom of the strut, and i think the clearance on the inside of the rim isn't much more. the tires are very close to the inside lip of the wheel well - moreso in back than front - but no rubbing
