Hadnt realized how HARD it is to drive between 55-70!!

[Mocoso]

Glad to hear Im not the only one that has a hard time with it...well on the plus side I wont be downshifting into 4th as often by mistake thinking Ive shifted into 6th... guess staying in 5th has its benefits (eek2)

Yeah I see your sig.... You have a dyno sheet to show what your mods do?

 

[knowledge007]

No i haven't been able to dyno yet. The closest one to me is way up north from me. I'm trying to get up there but never have the time. I might just wait till I upgradet he TMIC. Which I am having trouble keeping myself from buying....lol

Does the 3" turbo back exhaust really help? Any rubbing or CEL's with the new exhaust?

 

[knowledge007]

No, and really help.... Umm yeah this car is the real wild child. I have got that question alot. Remember, the turbo back replaces the whole exhaust system with 3". No matter what, this will help any car. This car of mine chirps nasty when I put it under load though 1st through 4th. I hit 60 way before 5 seconds and before I know it I doing 90. Its amazing how much potential this car has.

Have you seen my vids...???

 

[BSTD3]

This are in this thread. Should have all of them. Should be able to find 5 or 6... PAGE 4 HAS ALL OF THEM.

Vids sound awesome! Wondering how well the CP-E exhaust would work with a MS CAI?

 

[Newter]

Cruise Control!!

QFT. The only way I can do it. Good news is that you get around 32 mpg between 65-70 in 6th, according to the trip comp.

I'm so jealous

I know in my regular 3 once I'm in 5th gear doing 65 - 85 the car begs for more! It runs smooth as butter at 85mph. I can't imagine how it would feel with a 6th gear

This is for the comments about Road rage driving.

Next time someon pisses you off, just let it go........... Ok so you screamed and had a panic attack. Tough it isn't going to help your situation any more. WHAT DID YOU ACOMPLISH??? Do you feel better for screaming??? Did it make you more of a man???? Next time someone gets mad at you for a screw that you did, Smile really big, roll down the window, and say your SORRY. its the fastest and most effective way to stop the insanity. (0% of the time when i cut someone one off (intenionally or not) when they get mad and zip up next to me, i just smile and say sorry, they clam down and leave me alone.

IF you really think the general population of America drives bad, you need to visit one of these fine countries.

Afghanistan, UAE, Thailand, Philippines, Korea, Colombia. ANd these are only the countries i have driven in, I'm sure theres alot more........

After spending about 5 years driving overseas, I was SOOOOOO happy to be driving in the states again. Road rage is stupid, I USED TO SUFFER FROM IT. not any more i appreciate our roads and our friendly idiots drivers. Their worst day is still 10,000 times better than the best day of any Korean driver.
Think about it.....

Oh and yes it is hard to drive 70 and below the car sems to want more. but i stil love the car and keep my radar detector in it.
