If there is a thread about this already, please disregard, but I'm looking for any suggestions for independent shops in the area that would work on a Speed3. I need to get shocks and springs and a few other odds and ends fixed up on mine, and this time of year unfortunately I don't really have...

Haha nice, I was just about to post it in here actually. Someone beat me to posting it on failblog (not my picture though). I sent it in to Jay Leno because as much as I hate him, it'd be cool to see my picture on national TV.

I'll keep an eye on that thread, I get my bonus in December and if by any chance they are still around, I'm seriously considering it. Thinking these could look good on a black MS3 but I could be wrong.

Ohhhhh s***. I will be keeping an eye on these. Although I doubt they'll still be available in December, I would seriously consider spending my bonus check on these. Black MS3, white wheels, feels good man.

Did this today, overall not nearly as bad as I was expecting up until getting the actual cover off where the filters are located. I didn't see that 4th screw up in there and started pulling and tugging at the cover with one screw left in. Needless to say I spent about 20 extra minutes just...

A couple tips, make sure you either get the car on ramps, or if using jackstands get the car as high as you safely can. Trying to **** around with a torque wrench under the car is a real PITA unless you have enough room. Ask me and my bruised knuckles how I know...

I went with the CS inserts since it's my daily driver and I appreciate the lack of vibrations that come through. You will definitely notice a difference with the inserts, but obviously it is a compromise between stock and a new RMM. One of the best value mods out there.

I just paid my renewal, it was $473 for the full 6 months, the 08 Speed3 with full coverage and the 91 Miata at liability. I'm 23 and the only one on the policy, one speeding ticket. I work for an insurance company so let me know if you have any questions. First tip is unless you really like...

And yes, those are 10 inch wheels/tires. And no, they do not go over parking curbs very efficiently.

This is the doorway it came through: This is where it currently sits now, after some careful maneuvering: Long story short to how it got to this stage: my dad and I were driving home from watching vintage races at Mid-Ohio, pulled into a downhill parking lot and the brakes gave out, ran...

We are currently at 3 people and 6 cars. 2 in a garage, 2 in the driveway, one in the backyard, one in the basement (found out a 68 Mini has no problem fitting through standard double doors). It's like a ******* car safari around our property.

I was not happy when I went to get plates since I had just put the car in my name, and they told me that all new plates from now on are the hideous farm scene design. Girl behind the counter said most people request the red white and blue style, and are pissed when they can't get them. I've...

I ended up just ordering it from the local dealer. With having them ship it from California it's about the same price as it was to order online plus pay for shipping. I guess there are worse things that could've broken, this looks like it's going to be tricky to unbolt though.

I got about half way done installing the Corksport SRI and TIP. By half way I mean it's currently sitting apart in the garage because I broke the damn nipple on the boost solenoid trying to remove the hose. Now realizing I should've read a little more on here before attempting this and I...
