[bazooka joe]

thanks man! can't wait to get to drive it! soon...i hope!

 

[princess peach]

I think I asked you this already, but are those Mazda fog light covers? Mine would look better with some of those...

 

[bazooka joe]

yes, mazda fog deletes, bought them off a member on Mazda-speed.com
N066-50-C11A (right) & N066-50-C21A (left)

 

[princess peach]

Thanks Mark, ordered them from MazdaSpeed Motorsports

 

[bazooka joe]

nice! i was going to buy replacement fogs, but in this part of the country with a car that low (like the p5 too) they would be breaking all the time...so deletes it is!

 

[princess peach]

Yeah, since I put HIDs on mine the fogs didn't really do anything. On top of that, one of them got water inside and the bulb burned out so I didn't feel like buying a replacement.

I like having the fogs and never had issues with them being broken, neither the P5 or Mia.

I find them great for driving roads with no lighting.

 

[bazooka joe]

i broke more fog lights on the p5 and they get all pitted from the sand. i like the fogs on the msm, but after one broke i said forget it..

 

[bazooka joe]

got a FM MSM check valve kit on the way

Orly? I may have to look into one.

 

[princess peach]

hmm... last year I had some oil consumption during the auto-x season... might have to get one of these...

 

[THE Phen]

I didn't really have consumption... more like relocation out of the tail pipe. haha.

 

[bazooka joe]

Haha!

 

[chiefmg]

Mine was relocating to the catch can, which wouldn't have been so bad had it not been like half a quart in 200 miles. Never did figure that out.
