What have you done to your MS3 today?

[H3br3w_Ham3r]

yeah sorry about that glad i was there for moral support (friday)

if you dont want to drop that much cash you could always just get the wastegate by itself. PG sells the Tial 38mm F38 Wastegate for a fraction of the mani/wastegate combo.



thanks I've had a sh!t-eating grin on my face all day.

How hard is the install on the fuel pump internals?

Picked up RX8 wheels for in pretty good shape for $300. Was under the impression that they were "gold" but they are a good bit more yellow then gold so off to the powder coaters they go. Can't wait till spring to get these on. On a side note, Didn't get to the ptp fuel internals this weekend. maybe next week.

Finally was able to get some pictures uploaded of the car with a few new things since I last posted, nothing major though.

-winter mode with 235/40/18 nexens mounted on OEM wheels
-6k ddm hid fog light kit (matching headlights)
-shark fin
-home depot lip
-removed rear can, re-installed racing beat dual tips along with 3" straight through Magnaflow muffler

Oh, and Friday, my powdercoater texted me...the magnesium blue powdercoat arrived at his shop. here is a teaser pic to show a sample of how it looks. Wheels are being dropped off in Bristol, TN next Saturday to get coated. Will take a week to do, then getting a set of 225/40/18 bf goodrich kdw 2's mounted on them and removing the rear collar on the BC's and taking it lower when mounting. Pics sooooooooon

Pro tuned today at 10... went off without a hitch.

291whp @ ~5700rpm 17psi boost.

the air temp was about 40 degrees so that's gotta be factored in to the total.

I'm half surprised to see your peak torque lower than your peak HP!

Made an Evo driver mad.

Im guessing he wanted to keep the torque consistent over the entire power band rather that having it spike.

ah well. Im pretty pleased with it.

installed COBB AP today, 93 octane + SRI, and OMFG! second and third gears are out of this world, fuel trims are looking really nice. my car was getting a little boring, now i wanna live in it

 

[bigdaddy]

my tuner did the same, pushed peak tq out to 4k, so now it feels more like a big NA engine

welcome to the club! Do me a favor, and next time you're out, get to 4th gear and hold speed @4000rpms, then floor it. Let me know how much boost you see. Thanks!

Hopefully not too much! I've already gotten flashed by the damn photo radar, and it was only because I forgot i was in a 55 instead of a 65

 

[LaraS]

Well... yesterday I washed, claybarred, polished and waxed my sister's sedan (my old 3). Once I was done with that I went to take my car out of the garage so that I could get some shots of them both together. She didn't want to cooperate and turn on (dead battery). She did however at least let the LEDs shine. xD

So that's what our cars look like with REAL fog lights! Mmmm, what did those run you and were they fairly easy to install?
