Can you post some pics please. I recently noticed the exact same thing on my 14 cx5. Rust on the door hinges. Only a few months old. Not too pleased.

Is the MS3 AP still available? PM me the price if it is.

I seriously hope you're not planning on driving on those. That is a blowout waiting to happen. My friend has a 350Z, and his bald ass tires looked just like that, almost identical wear pattern. (He just had a blowout) I think its just the factory camber specifications. 35K is a helluva lot...

Have you considered a WRX? I have multiple friends with them, and not for nothing, but the clutch is MUCH easier to work with than the MS3 clutch, IMO. Plus AWD is pretty nice if you live where it snows. (You could get an autotragic WRX, but the autos KILL those cars) Someone also mentioned...

Meguiers (probably spelled wrong) gold class leather cleaner/conditioner. I've used this stuff, and it worked amazing, the leather looked 10x better when I was done. Make sure you get the cleaner/conditioner in the bottle, not the wipes, the wipes are greasy and make the seats look like plastic.

Haha, in my last car I dropped a bottle of cologne which spilled all over the floor under my seat. The car smelled like that forever, and surprisingly generated a lot of "OMG ur c4r sm311s s0 n1c3" comments.

They're good, but not THAT good. The 4.7 seconds was unique to a test by C/D and it is the quickest 0-60 time I've seen people post with a stock 09 WRX by a considerable amount. Additionally, having driven an 09 WRX back to back with a friends 05 STI, the STI pulls MUCH harder than a WRX from...

Haha it has the ugly 08.5 lolsticker on the dash. That was the first thing I ripped off mine.

Yea, they all do, as far as I know.

Damn Protege people dis-respecting. I'll meet you at waffle house. J/k

Haha you caught me, I try not to pull more than 17,000 lbs with the smartcar. No seriously though, my friend pulled a Glastron GX185 (18' bowrider, about 3000 lbs) with his Subaru Legacy. Old school one, with the classic NA 165HP boxer-4. That was an amusing ride to say the least.

Practice, practice, practice! It took me forever to get used to the clutch in this thing, and occasionally I still look like a n00b driving it. with that said, I won't get into second unless I'm at 10-15 or less, otherwise I leave in in third, this car seems to be relatively friendly toward...

It took me about an hour and a few beers to get my transmission fluid changed. (Redline MT-90 of course). Shift feel is noticeably better, and the 1-2 clunk first thing in the morning has been pretty much eradicated.

this thread = win PS. My other car is a smartcar and I pull my 28,000 lb boat with it.

I'm actually on the fence about trading in my Ms3 as well. I was getting some service at the dealer and walked next door to the subaru/mitsu dealer. They have a special on a 3 year lease on the 09 WRX for $329 a month with $1900 down, and there was an 09 Evo GSR (base model, but who cares) for...
