    Dilemma...

    Thank you guys for the feedback. Hmm... It's about that time to change the gear oil too. I'll look into the Ford MTF. (The stock fluid was also Ford if I am not mistaken, yes?) I guess I'll try to swap the RMM sometime. Maybe I'll do both when I do my next oil change. Thanks again guys...

    Dilemma...

    Hey guys, I've been lurking on this forum since I've bought my car in late 2007. I own a 2007 Speed3. No accidents, no problems (smoking/mech), completely stock, never raced (seriously), driven like a grandma, and just about to teeter over 25k. Original clutch still good. Not driven very much...

    Holy Poop!

    I just did my first oil change (at home) and used mobile 1... I could DEFINITELY feel the difference! The car had more power and was smoother right off the jack. This was on 2000 miles. I really should've done it at 1000, but i missed that chance (sad1). I hope I feel this much difference when...

    Beefier mounts (no pun intended)

    lol for those who get it :wink wink: anyways... You know, i was thinking... why won't someone, or some company create a 2 bolt trans mount and others to be more reinforced.... that seems to be the only shortcoming for this car... maybe i should just pour in concrete in the engine compartment...

    Do you guys use engine braking?

    (laugh) I have a SOLUTION! Take your car to 60 mph and leave it in gear then shut off the engine!! (laugh) If your car slows down more than it does on and in gear.. then it's not using any gas if your car slows down a bit less, then that extraforce must come from somewhere... (gas?) BTW i...

    Shifting MS3 Smoothly

    I'm trying to get a feel for the damn timing of normal driving shift for smooth transition, i've experienced that 1-2 gear after you press the clutch you have a wait about 1.5 seconds and then put it in second, then it seems like there is much less jerk from 1-2. from 2-3 is better when...

    This is what over the counter wax can do!

    Hmm i've read that leaving wax over night doesn't help anything but give you a harder time removing the wax... HOWEVER, I bought some NXT paste wax and applied a decent amount, not too thin like they suggest and left over night to dry.... next day, it took a bit, but i removed all the wax... and...
