    Brake squeal is killin' me!

    Yes, it's been between 30 and 50 degrees. It pretty frustrating, you can hear it over the stereo. I don't even wanna open the window to hear more of it out there, heard enough of it exiting a parking garage last week. The cashier/clerk at the ticket booth was pretty irritated by it as well.

    Brake squeal is killin' me!

    WTF?!?! Are these pads/rotors so troublesome that you can't get them to stop squealing? I've cleaned the brake dust off the wheels several times and I still get squeals. Whether it be mostly brief and meek squeal at the moment of complete stop or a whiner squeal rolling from 15 mph to...

    What year, color (in/out), mileage, and how much you asking? I know someone who has been looking for one. No, not me. And you in KC? Might be able to to check it out this weekend with him if so... or around the Iowa area. Can PM me the details. Probably should have PM'd this, but F-it...

    Running lights + fog lights

    I believe there's a solution for the Sport MS3's in the How To section. I haven't seen that it works or that someone has figured out something for the GT's with HID.

    MPG observations

    Yeah... mine averages 2 mpg optomistic as well. Maybe he forgot there's a sixth gear. :D I'll be taking a 2,500 mile round trip here very soon, so I'll be curious to see how it goes. Especially with the prices right now. As I don't have a boost gauge yet... what RPM range does boost really...

    Personalized plates

    MS3FTW may not be available for long.... ;) Sucks though, it's only 6 characters total. So you can't put a space somewhere between 6 characters.

    Cobb Short Throw Shifter

    Dayum... CS inserts, TWM shifter bushings, and Cobb DA shifter sounds like it would make for a good combo. All for under 5 bills.

    Ventpod Group Buy Feeler!

    Looks good. I did find Stack gauges and ISSPRO gauges with white needles. The Stack look good and the ISSPRO... kinda generic, but does the job. Go figure, had to go back to some of the diesel forums to find those two.

    Ventpod Group Buy Feeler!

    So now that we're nearing the purchase/availability date... what are some gauges (boost) one should be looking at? From what I gather, it's a 52mm gauge hole. But does anyone have any recommendations on a simple boost gauge that may look similar in appearance (and lighting) to the the stock...

    What kind of motor oil do you use?

    Just did my first change (4k miles), and went with Amsoil. I'll be sending my used factory filled oil for an analysis (for baseline). I was a Mobil 1 user with past cars and bikes, but have done enough reading to see the light of better quality products out there. Once the Amsoil is up, I'm...
