What have you done to your MS3 today?

[79535]

You're joking right? Because...1st gear is good for nothing but ripping the tires apart.

Lol QFT

I'm going to take my car apart and check out my boost tubes to see if they cracked all the way through. I noticed a crack JUST starting on one, so perhaps it is time for SU boost tubes.

PZero's are ok, but not as sticky as summers. You're going to do some serious damage to those tires in 1st. Best to stay out of 1st for power.

So, launch in 2nd?

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Don't launch at all in this car, unless you've got some drag radials and wider tires.

Took my car into mazda, been hearing clunks on the suspension. the Mazda tech GETS PULLED OVER due to my car being lowered(not even that low at all) and claims the clunking is due to my coilovers. I then take it to my suspension guy and it was nothing but a loose stabalizer bar bolt. I couldn't help but laugh at this entire situation.

you guys in Cali get pulled over for EVERYTHING lol. i could have a honda civic shooting sparks from being so low and the cops would turn the other cheek lol

A very valid mod, but not a HP-increaser, therefore not something to expect out of the mod. It does sound and feel amazing though.

Dang, didn't mean to start an argument. LOL. But that ^ is really all I was implying......that I didn't "feel" a difference yet. Never meant to imply that I should have gained any HP.

There was no argument. Just minor teasing

I went at it pretty hard after a stoplight and i spun the tires almost all the way through first. Running Pirelli P-zero nero (that's what it came with) tires with a cobb SRI and everything else stock. am i doing something wrong?

Yes, you're pressing the gas pedal too far down.

1st and second gear can both shred tires with my mods. No point in turning fuel and tires into smoke and noise... just take it easy on the throttle. Welcome to having lots of power (burnout)

Big cup of fail. Ya know, you could have ask us on here, saved a trip to the dealership, and i could have solve it for you. Swaybar nuts go loose on these cars.

Now... TIP does nothing for HP. It reduces restriction on the intake side, but does NOT gain HP whatsoever. Ask COBB, Corksport, and PG. They will all tell you the same exact thing. Infact, i'll save you the trouble:

this article doesn't say anything about a TIP not adding power. it only mentions that there are probably no difference in power gains from a metal TIP vs. a silicone TIP... which would actually imply that there are indeed gains.

 

[boosted1]

Just ordered a Hotchkis RSB.

 

[Jdm_Mica]

Ordered a set of Dunlop direzza star specs....

 

[nynhex]

Ordered (and waiting for shipment/install)
SU TMIC
Devil's Own Meth Injection Kit
Hotchkis FSB (as a test fit for the 2nd gen)
Saiku Michi OCC Kit

So I guess I didn't really do anything to my MS3 but I sure as **** hit my wallet hard. Pics to come (the non-blurry kind)

 

[Saskatchewan17]

^Can't wait to see 'em. I love seeing modded up 2nd gens now.

It could have been so much worse! Not the cop situation but the whole issue with your suspension. Glad to see it's back together. What coilovers are you running?

wow, i'd like to see a mod list sometime. you are working even faster than i am! how long you had your car?

 

[kneedragger241]

Had mine modified by an inattentive F-250 driver.
Guess it could have been much worse.

 

[Velocifero]

^^ that sux man. Value down and nearly a guaranteed leak at the hatch now. Best of luck.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Wow man WTF! I must have jinxed it with my obsession over your car..god damnit that is such bs..

My dad warned me about red cars, said it's very hard to distinguish the taillights on a red car. I guess he's half right?
