twas 87 here in the cold white north today.. supposed to be hotter tomorrow.

 

That sucks. Luckily mine has been running smooth lately. I have all sorts of miles on the P5, right over 160K.




The weather is almost always great here. The humidity takes some getting use to but other than that no complaints.

 

guess i live in a good section of Georgia, not too humid / not too much smoke.. - and i like snow... (once a year haha)

here is the intake





the engine bay is a little....a lot dirty

 

Very Nice! I like the CF look.

 

Rule #1 - Don't post pics of dirty engine compartments, lol.. j/k.

Looks cool.

 

So the battery does ok without the stock air ducting? It's pretty sealed up inside that casing

 

it wouldn't really fit with the intake in there. but it seems to be doing ok

 

umnitza/simota intake FTMFW! i had one on my 8

sexy car and a sexy driver... this is why i love mazda >:] you don't find many ugly chicks driving a mazda around (there are some :[)

 

Jen, I think your car looks Great ! I'm thinking of lowering mine. I'm not sure if I should do to my fear of a harsh ride. Would you mind describing how you car drove after lowering your 3 compaired to the stock set-up. I was also wondering how many inches were lost on the front & rear and, do you know the spring rate.101384_l: Thanks for the Info, Nick

 

good looking engine bay. I like how everything is covered up, makes a nice design.

 

Thanks. I really like mine lowered. I went with the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs and it dropped it I think 1 inch and 1.5 inches. Before i could fit 4 fingers in there and now I can barely fit 2 fingers....remember I have small hands. A buddy of mine could barely fit a finger in there himself. I don't really know the spring rate but I guess I could look it up. The ride is real close to the stock ride and thats why I like it so much.

 

Lowering Kit

Fits: 2004 to 2006 Mazda 3 S L4 2.3 MFI

Notes: Pro-Kit; Lowering Coil Springs; Front w/1.4 in. Drop; Rear w/1.2 in. Drop;

 

i have the sportline, which is i think .5" more of a drop, and i have no wheel gap at all now :P
i think i can maybe fit 1 finger in on an angle...

the ride is a bit harsher, but still decent.

 

what have u done to your car?
