crazymikey : 2005 Mazda 3

[crazymikey]

Gather round. I've got Honda parts on my car!

Picked up a lip from a 93 Integra sedan. It fit with almost no modification at all.






Awesome,right?

that lip looks factory mikey

[crazymikey]

Exactly why it's such a good fit.

[accordkid16]

so what parts are prone to failing the most on the celica?..and is it expensive to own?(insurance and part wise)

Looking good. I like the old skool Mazda emblem.

Intake has arrived. Have to pick it up and install on Wednesday, with pics to follow.

[crazymikey]

Wow, so that freakin CAI took me over an hour to install the stupid thing.

That stock air intake system is rediculous. Easy enough to pull off the air box and piping, but there's the stupid air box thing in the wheel well/bumper area.That damn thing took forever to get out cuz the new CAI has to go into the fender.

Anyways, I finally managed to get the CAI installed and...wow. Great sound, makes my car have a nice deep sound now...no need for exhaust mods. HUGE burst of power over 3000rpm. It's sluggish below 3000rpm with the intake and my advanced timing.

Also got my 6000 and 3000k HIDs installed and they are fantastic.

Didn't finish working on it til after it got dark out, so should have pics tomorrow.

[crazymikey]

Okay, pic whoring commencing.

Going through my pics and found these...

[crazymikey]

That looks like one in town here but he has RX8 wheels.

[Clean_4th gen]

Love the blacked out emblems. Is it a Mazdaspeed?

[crazymikey]

I'm not sure. Looks to be dressed up with MS3 parts if it isn't a real MS3. That's an 07-09 model.


Anyways, I was on ebay and I found these carbon fibre trunk emblem inserts that you can buy. Darn thing would be about $20 shipped by the time I bought it. So I went out to the garage, found my left over roll of vinyl carbon fibre wrap and made an emblem insert myself.

[Clean_4th gen]

How did you do that? Im thinking about wrapping my emblems in flat black. Post some day time pics.
