    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...

    Gunmetal vs. Hyper Black

    Okay, so after browsing several wheel maker sites... I'm still not sure if I should go Gunmetal or Hyper Black (on RX-8 5-star wheels) on my soon to be delivered Crystal White Pearl MS3. The wheel maker sites (for color reference) don't offer GM or HB on the same wheels... so I can't clearly...

    Almost there...

    Hello all. I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2008.5 MS3 GT. My choices in order of purchase availability are: Metropolitan Gray Mica (today), Black Mica (Friday), or Crystal White Pearl Mica (Saturday/Monday). The BM is an ok and safe color choice given the stock silver wheels. However...
