Dead MS3...

[drledford93]

Totaled Wednesday, 1/19/11. RIP, Harv. I'll miss ya.

Idiot pulling through stopped traffic while I was tooling away in the center turn lane. Of course the guy didn't have insurance. Did he stop when he saw me? Nope, kept going so even though I went fully into one of the two opposing lanes, he still hit me. I hate people that don't follow the rules of the road...

I'm going to have some things for sale but haven't gotten them off the car yet. Should have them off by Monday. I'll have 4 gunmetal Enkei 17x7 EKM3 + BFG AS Super Sports (235/40), a Cobb SRI, Cobb Turbo Inlet Pipe, and a Forge BPV. I'll make a separate post for all that stuff.

Anyone have an '07 or '08 MS3 for sale in the Louisville, KY area (within a few hundred miles)? Preferably <50k and taken care of.

damn that sux. i hate crappy drivers...
btw
how much are you selling your COBB TIP?

Thanks everyone, for the thoughts. I just picked up an '08 Cosmic Blue MS3 for $16.2 with 40K on the clock. No mods. I thought it was a pretty good deal.

I appreciate the interest on my mods, but I'm going to use them on my new baby. I looked at the G35's and just couldn't bring myself to like them. Felt "big", ya know? Heck, even my new MS3 without the bolt ons and without the motor mount feels really "squishy". My wife has to remind me that it's only going to be a few days before I get the old feeling back...pretty hard to wait!

Glad your okay man, but sucks that you lost your baby...but hey u got another one!!

here's a question for you guys. My old ('07) MS3 was somewhat rich, but my new one ('08) is REALLY running rich. At WOT, it bellows soot like no other. It has quite a few more HP than my old one for some reason (maybe the AFR? as it has the same mods). No turbo smoke. What I have on it is a SRI, TIP, test pipe and motor mount.

Thoughts?

It's Cosmic Blue which is widely known as the fastest of all the colors and the only color that is unigue to the Speed 3, only available on the MS3 for 2007 and 2008 and no othert Mazda. Get an AP and it will lean the AFR up some and stop all the smoke while making the car faster also.

How much more power does the AP make with a TIP, TP and SRI? I seem to remember it doesn't do much but it does smooth out the delivery (gets rid of the decrease in boost while the wheel is turned in 1st and 2nd gears).
