Thats a nice balance. I have a 2003 c240 4matic wagen 113 k . no pics .
Hey ! Whats my car doing in your garage though ?

I replaced the passenger side MM with JBR 80a durometer and installed Ingalls torque damper for added sturdiness. Aslo changed oil and lubricate BPV. During my quick test drive under hard acceleration the car wheel hopped once in first gear but none after that in higher gears. Smooth power delivery and shifting feels connected. Obviously the downside is the HUGE increased cabin NVH. Most of it from the passenger side. Will have to dynamat passenger door some day. I recommend this combo for those who seek performance over comfort.

Went to the machinist......

 

[Domino81]

Spoke to Fisch over the weekend...

...that sucks, dude.

[8.5MS3]

yea, nice dent in my budget i did not have allocated for, was going to use it to replace the clutch disc just because it was out and has 20k on it already

 

[TrippleEight]

question to any ms owners becuase ive searched and cant find any decent info. Has anyone of you guys know or heard of who owns a CX-7 use an aftermarket downpipe for an ms3 and have bolt on fitment?

CX-7 guy are more into fog lights and roof racks. I'm more into performance and power.

 

[8.5MS3]

I think corksport and cpe make a dp for the cx7.

Got the car back finally from getting the Fidanza flywheel and new clutch installed. Now finally getting around to painting the fog light shrouds and trying to tint the rear lights. Anyone have any tips to get the tint to form flat over the bump on the rear 2012 lights?

Not my best day:

 

[8.5MS3]

Aw man that sucks. I got hit almost exactly the same, it broke my rad support, 8k in damage. Yours looks like it wasn't quite as bad tho


Fyi gt headlights are 900 each

 

[MikeHTally]

Yea, I hope it isn't that bad. Probably not. Guess I'm drivin' the Ram for a few weeks. (sad1) (pissed)

Use a spray tint, not tinting film.

 

[Domino81]

Went to wegmans to get a power vac and cleaned the seats and carpets in the front. Happy with the results

i need to do that badly

and fill behind every panel with expanding foam

i hate rattles

going back to stock side mounts and a new cbe the second the weather gets warm and there is no precipitation on a weekend

 

[Domino81]

Really? I love my mounts.

 

[8.5MS3]

my vibes are stupid

either the flywheel is broke

the engine is totally out of balance because of BSD

or something is majorly vibrating on the chassis

i get a headache driving the car for more than 20 min and everything rattles like crazy

 

[Domino81]

I still have my stockers if you need a set.

 

[Domino81]

I've been in a few cars with the BSD... I just... I'm gonna leave mine in.
