    Is your real name Gumby? I think my spine is still recovering from replacing mine.

    16 minute transmission fluid change

    LOL - I hope they didn't add a whole bottle (unless it was a really small bottle), or your transmission will be toast. Usually a few drops is all that is needed, although there are reports on this forum that adding friction modifier to this vehicle is not good for the synchros. Next time get...

    Denied warranty claim due to aftermarket radio

    Ask them about that aftermarket OBD-II diagnostics tool that they connect to the CAN bus to read CEL codes. If they read your codes, does that void your warranty... hmmmm???

    drove through a puddle

    All he needs is 2 gigawatts of electricity and he can get back to the Paleolithic Period from whence all people who drive through 2 feet of water belong.

    Original MS3'ers

    May '07 - only two payments to go! 49K, 2nd engine, 2nd turbo, but still lovin' it. Wife thinks I should trade up for something with more class, like an A5, but I'm happy with what I've got. I've never been one to want to spend a lot of coin on a car.

    Tranny fluid

    After 15K on my MT-90, I have horrible diff whine at low speed turning under any weather condition. I'm going to try the Ford synth next.

    there's a built-in mini jack in the trunk?? (or what is it)

    C'mon... look at the guy's mods! There's no way he could not know about the jack if he has the skillz to install an air freshener!

    How to: change REAR rotors and pads (56k/dial up stay out)

    I was able to compress my calipers using needle-nose pliers and a little force. A bit of a PITA, but it gets the job done. Also I would consider the step of removing the caliper bridge optional, nor required, to replace the brake pads. Nice pictorial.

    16 minute transmission fluid change

    I get horrible diff whine with Redline MT-90. Next change I'll try the FOMOCO stuff that many folks have said eliminates the noise. It's so loud it's embarrassing, and not just in really cold weather. Didn't start whining until I had about 10K miles on the fluid.

    dropped a ratchet head in my radiator fan

    If you have a driveway with sidewalks in front, pull up perpendicular to the driveway and run the front wheel up onto the sidewalk along the curb. Used to do that for oil changes with my RX7.
