rust buckets ftl. I still don't get it

yeah best is to check the airbox mounting screws/bolts since this is a common install on any car. If its been swapped out usually missing screws or scuffed paint in the engine bay is a good clue.

so for the sti, you shave maybe 20lbs off the top with a cf roof but add 100 lbs for the automatic tranny......makes sense from a performance standpoint

anyone know the best deal on where to find one, the best I found was $330 which doesn't seem that bad for a painted one. If anyone knows where to find a non-painted one for a lot cheaper it might be easier for me this way.

good call, you were right. I ended up remembering what I read on here about this randomly while driving. I thought "damn mirror" and kicked the kick panel you were refering to near the floor and the mirror flicked back on so it is a ground issue. I really didn't think the wiring down there...

Whoever buys it should reverse engineer it and tell us how to make it work.

About 6 months into owning my 08 MS3, my mirror with compass and tint would blink randomly and then eventually went permanently off. I haven't bothered to take it in yet cause it doesn't bother me enough, but this morning my stereo lcd display above the media buttons started blinking and...

when getting them powdercoated, make sure not to drip any gas when filling up on them cause they eat it up and chip off - if you take them to a powdercoating company usually, just ask to get them sandblasted clean. This is usually cheap and gives you a nice clean surface to paint on if there is...

Front Passenger Side fender in good condition preferably in black

I found a thread mentioning a squeeking suspension in winter, but I am having a squeek problem on the suspension in warm weather. I am riding on stock suspension with a rear motor mount upgrade and wider tires. The tires aren't rubbing and the motor mount I think isn't making the noise. It...

Upcoming forza 3 with MS3 im excited http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/01/forza-3-releases-updated-car-list-more-screen-shots-with-japane/

I drilled a hole for a boost gauge in the middle of the panel above the cigarette tray between the pass. airbag light and the charger. Its a low key spot thats easy to read but not an eye sore.

I just recently installed a forge bpv and derlin trz motor mount. Right away I notice a much crisper boost from the bpv and a solid drivetrain from the mm. I didn't have a boost gauge yet so I installed one a little after. I know the forge bpv holds boost better but I am getting a vibrating...
