    AP noob question

    Just got the AP installed today. I am on a bone stock 2007 MS3 so I am running the stage 1 93 octane map. I am going to go out and log some data, and wanted to get advice on how I should setup those runs. Also I was watching the different monitors, and had a question about actual AFR. Most of...

    17" vs 18" RPF1s

    So I am thinking I would like to go the 17" RPF1s instead of 18s for a little bit more weight reduction, and also perhaps get a less stiff ride with the potholes around my house... I would still get a tire that has a super stiff sidewall so not sure that gives me too much better ride quality...

    1st Upgrade, Cobb vs TurboXS

    I am looking to do my first upgrade to the car, and I am thinking about doing the stage1 package from turboXS which will get me their downpipe and racepipe. From there I would probably get the cobb tuner and the correct map. One of my buddies suggesting getting the cobb downpipe instead...

    Driving a stick

    So I have owned 4 cars in my lifetime. 3 of them have had standard transmissions (including my MS3). My last vehicle was a GMC Sonoma, After about 5 years and around 80-90k miles the clutch wore out on me. Now I had a bad habbit of resting my foot on the clutch as the truck didn't have a dead...

    Are New Tires/Wheels Worth it?

    I am going to be using my MS3 for everyday use, and not any kind of track runs. With that said, aside from the look is it worth going from 7.5 to 8? And does a lighter/wider setup improve cornering and take offs a lot?

    ECU Fighting Mods?

    I read over on the "other" forum that the ECU will get used to mods on the car over time, and level out the fuel and air to even out the car again. So once I install a CAI, and a TBE, it will perform well at first, but over time the gains from the extra air flow will get evened out by the ECU...

    New Pics Of CHaZSpeed's MS3

    Went out with one of my buddies who is heavily into photography so he could practice shooting cars (he has mostly done model shoots to date), so I got the car waxed up and we took it up to a garage at his work. The car is bone stock other than some interior CF, and the window tint. Can't wait...

    Casual Modding

    I definitely want to mod out my MS3, but I don't want to have to worry about making sure every setting is just right all the time (IE changing boost, or worrying about fuel/air ratios), and I am going to use it as an every day driver as well. I also don't want to compromise my warranty, so that...

    AutoEXE bumper/grill

    I am interested in getting these for my MS3 has anyone here bought and installed these, was it a pain, or was it fairly simple?

    Info on exhaust changes and power

    I am pretty green when it comes to how a car performs. Does anyone know of a good place to find articles about how changes to an exhaust system affects the cars power? It just seems strange to me that just by moving the pieces in the exhaust system to different places along the pipe can make a...

    Burning Smell at higher RPM (W/O clutch engaged)

    Just got my MS3 a week ago and I am still getting used to the clutch when taking off. A couple of times I have revved the RPMs up to 4-5k before the clutch engages, and for about the next 5 minutes or so I get a really nasty smell that reminds me a little of burning rubber, but a little sweeter...

    My New 3

    I just picked up my MS3 last week. I am loving every minute I drive in it. I have been reading this forum for a few days now, and I figured I would register and ask a couple of questions. First off I am still waiting on the manual for the car as apparently someone stole mine from a previous...
