Let her watch while I changed the plugs in the C. Sixteen plugs and an oil change in two hours and ten minutes. Good for another 50K now (on the plugs, that is).
What have you done to your MS3 today?

Thanks for the kind words from you and everyone else. I'll be putting up a full review and vid of the valve in due time. It's pretty awesome so far. Holds boost and is very responsive... like my old forge with a different sound. Has a light swooshy-ping noise at very low boost, almost like a forge, but subdued. At low boost (5 PSI and under) it makes a sound similar to stock with a little ping to finish it off. At full boost WOT shifts it makes a turbosmart dual port like 'KUSHHHHH." Pretty menacing and loud for a recirc valve. I'm very impressed with it.
Went for a nice cruise with some friends yesterday, the weather was perfect. Stopped for a picture in a garage.
What garage is that? Looks like one that there was a Boston Cars and Coffee at.
haha yeah I have been to Claremont, its definitely a haul.

^ looks good. those the mcgards?
yessir. Hopefully once I start working again, I will be able to do wheels. I am looking at gunmetal Rota G-Force. Keep the stock suspension, and throw on some Rally Armor mud flaps...going for that Subbie look!

Just ordered a dashhawk, dashhawk mount, and Hawk HPS rear pads.
you are going to love and hate the dashhawk....Great for monitoring, but oh so distracting at first. Plus, I cant drive my car without it now haha

Yeah, I have a lot to learn so it will be very distracting until I get used to it.

Reminds me of when I first installed my boost gauge. I could not look away from it. Now I regret having it because I realize that I'm not making proper boost levels lol.
The more tools you get to monitor your vehicle, the less fun your vehicle becomes. That's what I've found anyways.

Yeah, I think I've definitely gotten used to the boost gauge though. I kept an eye on it when I first installed it just to make sure my boost levels were normal. But I don't get on it very often at all, so there really is no need for me to constantly monitor it. It'll be different with the dashhawk because while I know some things about cars, I don't know a lot; so I'm sure I'll be watching it constantly. It will be the perfect learning tool for me.

Thought about distant future plans for her... bronze CE28ns in a low offset and wide size... strip the black details off and go back to silver emblems... slam it down on H&R coils... eyelids... yellow high beams and fog overlays... and RA flaps. Sounds like pure sex to me. Ahhhh... I guess it doesn't hurt to dream.

Your car would look amazing with everything listed above except the silver emblems. I guess I just have a real issue with silver on a car that doesn't have any other silver trim-plus your wheels will be bronze/gold colored/ Body match the emblems, especially the front so it blends together better.
Of course, how your car currently looks is great! I really like the red/black theme, and black emblems are appropriate on your car--
I am wishing to go sort of black/black/red---it is almost murdered out, but not everything-Black car, Black Rota Torque rims, blacked out emblems, BUT red calipers, leave the side markers and reflectors red, taillights stay the same (or LED aftermarket ones)---Murdered out with a hint of red...matching engine bay, or course
Oh, and I drove my car today! Whoop-dy-doo

That's next on my list. I think I saw you post before but, why are you taking the TRZ off? Lemme know how the CP-e is. I was teetering between that and the dashhawk. Went with the dashhawk. LOL
