Bought some new wheels, 19x9.5+38 Work Emotion Kiwami in bronze. Quick couple of pics. Suspension has to settle down a bit more.

Ordered Koni adjustables to match the Tein S-tech and drop the car just a little more. Should be coming in tomorrow, so should be done pretty soon.

Picking up a Mazdaspeed wing this weekend too, want to do something cool with that, but that's going to take a little longer.

In the spring I want to add some tint, and paint the calipers black to set off the bronze wheels.

Going to be a fun few months.

Since the rear is getting the Mazdaspeed treatment Figured I'd do the front too. Ordered a Mazdaspeed (AEM) CAI to go with it. Red of course.

AEM intake is in. Hardest, or rather most tedious part is messing with the bumper and fog lights. Taking the stock box out, and installing this, is a breeze. Even though most say it's only good for noise, or only a few WHP at best, the weight savings are huge. The stock box and supporting hardware weighs a ton compared to the AEM.
also, you don't need to remove the crash bar. You can slide the elbow in easily.

Good lord, she screams. 7k to 9k is amazing. Not as pronounced below that because of my midpipe and catback, you can tell it's there but after 7k, Holy Crap. Or.... Holy Brap.

Well winter is just about over, she's back on the road, sounding better than ever with the intake. Got the wing painted and mounted, and we just ticked to 12k miles.

I'm jealous of both of you. My 2009 R3 is just over 134K daily driven miles.

yeah, got to get her E-checked and then throw the midpipe back on. July 1st the front plate law starts so that can come off then. Got a decent shot of the wheel
