Jocelyn's Aurora Blue MZ3

[msbluemz3]

Not everyone from Idaho drives a big redneck truck and farms potatoes, some people like imports too! I had my eye on these Mazdas for a couple of years, then finally purchased my ABM mz3 in Nov 2009. It's had slowwww progress over the years, but this is my DD/low & slow/autox build.

Oh and here's a teaser shot from Friday's coilover install

[XCNuse]

ST's?


Oh btw no you don't need those rubber things (at the top) of your rear springs. ... Technically don't need bottom either depending how low you want to go.

But yeah, the springs sit against a fold in the rear so they don't actually spin, you won't get any noise from them. Maybe spring squishing sounds but.. That's normal.

When I had an interior I don't think I ever heard any rear spring or any subframe noise.. Lol

[AustinY]

go low so we can match!!

[chefsp0t]

Sub! Looking good!

Yeah, I bought them off of Brendan (UnZipHer) Looking to go low for daily, but during autox season I think these should be pretty good. I'm content with these and want to see how they do during season. I might still take that rubber out in the rear. I sort of want the rears lower, they're maxed out right now with the rubber pad in there.

go low so we can match!!

Deal! But, I was rubbing my front fender paint off, so I have to get a new DD set up first!

Sub! Looking good!

Thanks! Duckbills unite ;p

[AustinY]

Pft fenders are overrated anyways!

And duckbill club... can I join?

[msbluemz3]

You can join.....but only if you stay in Florida... ;p Can't have twins on the same side of the country meow! People's mind = *blown*

[AustinY]

:whistle: I might of already joined, its sitting in my room LOL

[XCNuse]

What's it sitting around for then lol?!? Installing a wing takes like 5 minutes tops!

[AustinY]

Paint?

[XCNuse]

Oh.
Nevermind then lol!

[AustinY]

lol yeah went to drop it off for paint today but the guy wasn't there, probably dropping it off friday, maybe I'll test fit and take a picture for now though

[chefsp0t]

You'll have to mod the mounting holes to fit the duckbill. They aren't a simple bolt on job they take a little work.

[AustinY]

I'll cut the holes tomorrow, thats it just taped on LOL

[UnZipHer]

mine and jocelyn had a funny conversation today

[AustinY]

HAHA, yeah man I autox mine at this height all the time

[msbluemz3]

God damnit Brendan ;p lol I just want to make sure RS3's aren't going to destroy my pretty blue

Yeah I had the same problem. Had to flex it a little bit to fit right. Damn Japanese people.... and it only hid part of the hard water spots from the oem spoiler.

I'll cut the holes tomorrow, thats it just taped on LOL

Ow owwww. Are cars are going to be twinning I contemplated leaving the underside black and the top blue, But didn't know how or where to create the lines to divide the two colors.

[AustinY]

Yeah I'm leaving the cf exposed above the windshield, you can see the line of it in the picture, should look nice

[chefsp0t]

I was going to lay some matte black vinyl in that same spot originally but never got around to it.

[msbluemz3]

We have good taste

I have pictured in my mind how I want my car to look. It's just a matter of getting it there lol

[msbluemz3]

I was going to lay some matte black vinyl in that same spot originally but never got around to it.

Yeah I contemplated the vinyl idea too at one point. But then I just said fuck it lol. Although once I stop being lazy, I will be going back into the vinyl shop for some things tehe. Got the price quote, then never went in to do it!

[AustinY]

what upcoming plans do you have?

[msbluemz3]

You'll seeeee. I have to do it first and then approve before I show anyone haha. I don't want to look like a ruh-tard.

[AustinY]

pffffft I suppose,

[4N MUSCLE]

Car looks great...nice to see a girl on here that knows her shit and that has good taste. Question for you duckbill people...what are yall doing with the 3rd break light because obviously this spoiler doesn't have a place to put it?

[chefsp0t]

I bought an entire interior setup from an 04-06 hatch but I am too lazy to wire it. Haha

[AustinY]

I'm just vibing 3rd brake lightless, until I do the same thing as chris ^

[msbluemz3]

Thank you I was going to do the same thing chef was. Take the 3rd brake light out of an 04-06, but then I just didn't give a crap afterwards. It's been 8 months and nobody has rear ended me *knocks on wood*

I wish it didn't cost so much, but I want to shave the hatch and rear bumper!! Just want it to be cleeeeean!

[AustinY]

I wouldn't shave the bumper, the side reflectors of it I would, but I like the whole valence area
