I got a mazdaspeed bumper that I paid $150 shipped for under the assumption that it was an aftermarket bumper and my only reason for buying it was for the black crashbar cover. Well when I went to pick it up at greyhound I looked over it to find out that it was in fact a genuine mazdaspeed bumper that was just repainted on solid color. I also started on replacing my shitty tein S springs with my new eibach pro springs as well

Reason: ...
Got locked out of it. Was gettign something out of the trunk, key fell inside (without me noticing), closed trunk and VOILA locked outside of it. Fuckkk
If the front doors are open just go through that center part in the rear seats and try to grab it

Trickle charged the battery overnight (Two nights) with the battery charger (that I just fixed) Need to start it a little more often in the Winter. *This is with the new battery that just barely fits so its got the major cranking amps. Want spring to wash all the salt / dirt and crap off the roads so I can drive it!
I cleaned the dirty engine compartment but... I need to replace or refurb some stuff thats just crusty looking...
Replaced plugs yesterday because the guy at the shop said I would need plugs about 2-3 months ago and hoped it would fix the hot start problem, but it still isn't starting hot😭
Never added my photos of my BHR coils and RB intake so here they are. Also my old plugs and only coils after 20k miles. Before there was a slight hiccup during idle every now and again, it is gone. Also, the intake is definitely louder at full throttle from 5k-9k.
(Hhmm photos didn't post)
I've always said tinting headlights and taillights was stupid and unsafe, there's also plenty of much better alternatives as well, here's a few pics of my work to show a few examples
*Except the red S2, that one is not my work, but the JDM S2 headlights in the other pics are, however, my work
Passed emissions.
Waited a long time at the DMV because their system was down, over two hours to renew my plates and all that crap.
They never sent me a postcard this time.
Weather has been real nice so I have been commuting on my motorcycle lately but throughout today is a thunderstorm warning so I took my 8 out. Consistently audible backfires are the best! I get big braps when the motor is spooling down from just 4k RPM, don't even need to thrash it ...(but I rev-bomb underpasses like a hooligan to help wake up my smartphone toting Prius friends)
Did you buy a new gasket or did you re-seal the old one? I have to do one soon.
In my case I used the original gasket. I cleaned it up (fixed a crack) using silicone glue to make sure it was tight all around. There is one lamp that has an opening that you have to seal to keep water out. I spent a lot of time trying to get the inside clean (And not break it apart to get at it) I ended up using distilled water and rinsing it out a few times then I let it dry in the sun. I'm kind of disapointed with whoever designed these tail lights.
