    Insurance co. totaled my car

    Haven't seen the 2010 yet But I'm not loving the happy grin on the new 3. May drive the Audi until the new one comes out and see how I like it.

    Insurance co. totaled my car

    Actually my 9 month old 2008.5 speed 3 was totaled in a flash flood last Saturday. Car only had 8,500 miles on it. I drained the oil and mostly water came out and the front passenger area was soaked. Now I have to find a new daily driver. I have a 2001 Audi TTQR but it isn't a good "around...

    Forge valve and Mazda CAI

    That's it! Scared the hell out of me. How come it didn't do it with the stock airbox? I have a forge DV in my Audi TT and it doesn't make any noise - at least none that scare me.

    Shiny cars

    Less than 2 week old MS3 GT in metro gray mica. Clayed, Menzerna final polish and power gloss, and a coat of Blackfire paint protection. I'll put another coat on next weekend and finish it with P21 carnuba. Washed the "old" car too so she wouldn't get jealous.

    Warranties, dealers, and you

    I'm new to Mazda (kept my Audi TTQR though) and just bought a Speed 3 GT. The mods and warranty anguish is a constant in every enthusiast site. Thought I would post this basic primer on how to deal with a warranty claim here since there seems to be alot of conversation about it. Be aware I...

    Boost gauge and turbo timer

    Just picked up a new (2008.5) MS3 in metro gray. Love it. I would like to put in a turbo timer and boost gauge and saw this one while searching. How hard is it to hook up the timer and does anyone else have this? http://www.***************/Blitz_DC_4_DTT_p/14369.htm
