There's an extra N in your Touring Kit sticker on the door

It's a shame for me that I haven't noticed it before Thanks for perceptivity. I will change it.
I added EZ Lip to the Mazdaspeed front lip and thin red reflective rim strips. It looks like that: I am considering to put thin red strip at the down section of the EZ Lip. I think it could match wit the body colour. Last edited by michalk1983; 14-12-2014 at 04:42 PM. |

Probably time to replace your tyres since they are almost 9 years old.

I am going to change 16" rims for 17" so I will need to buy new tyres. Tyre manufacturers advice to use tyres no longer than 10 years from production date.
My 16" rims (OEM Mazda MX-5 NA) are lightweight, the weight is 15lbs due to flow forming productions process. I am seraching for lightweight 17" (don't want to lose performance on my weak Z5 engine by putting heavywieght rims ) to fill out the wheel arches better, then I'll put new tyres. I dropped my car more on the front. There is a possibilty to lower it more, about 1 inch, but then the car would be disabled The gap beetwen front lip and ground is less than 3" now. Before: After: |

HMT - I sent a pm to you.
Mazdaspeed exhaust after refurbishing with heat-resisant paint: I didn't suppouse that I can gain any more power after installing the Yumex Mazdaspeed muffler, but I could be wrong. The mazda tuning company "corksport" dynoed the MX3 with no muffler and got a 5hp increase over stock, they then put on the Mazdaspeed sports sound muffler and got a 4.2hp increase and its only a little louder then stock but with a deep tone. It sounds great and it is engineered very well.Test car is Mazda MX-3 1.8 V6. |
