    MS3... is a boost gauge or turbo timer really necessary?

    I am looking into continuing to upgrade obviously, intake is just not enough. On all previous turbo cars I have upgraded in my life, a boost gauge was crucial early on, but normally only because a boost controller was in use to unleash some extra PSI. Now I don't plan to adjust the factory...

    AWR Rear Engine Mount OR Corksport Inserts?

    As the title states, I have my intake, looking for my next mod, and I figured that some type of rear motor mount upgrade and TWM shifter bushings would be good to go to next. Question is, which one do I go with? The Corksport inserts are only $35 which means I can get them and the shifter...

    MS3 Loose Stabilizer Bar Nut - Clunks from the rear

    attn speed3 GT owners.. if given 2nd chance, would u get sport model

    I bought a Sport, and I am perfectly happy with it, I saw the price difference, looked at the added features, and said the hell with paying the additional. The leather didn't really feel "nice" to me, Auto sensing wipers ehh.. the only real things I would have liked are the HID's and the CD/MP3...

    Test Drove the MS3

    Perfect point, you can't really compare the 2... they are in totally different price worlds... if I was going to have 28k to spend on a car, I would be lookin towards 05' G35 Coupes, 05' EVO's or STi's, etc. I think the MS3 is a great car, not necessarily geared toward "younger, ricier" crowds...

    Test Drove the MS3

    I was trading in an 06' Civic Si when I bought the MS3, I had test drove a GTi, MS3, Infiniti G35 Sedan, and a Nissan Sentra SE-R... instantly the SE-R was out the door, and the G35 was almost 7k more then I could spend, so it came down to the GTi and the MS3... Reason the Civic was going bye...
