so i got my MS3 4 days ago.

[essejkcamraw]

and now its gone. j/k but looking over it i did find a clip on the front bumper was broken...so its back at the dealer for a few days getting replaced :mad: but the car couldn't be any more fun to drive, ended up getting 09 cwpm with 71miles on her. did anyone else find the clutch a bit weird at first? or find it a little awkward going from 4th to 5th? maybe its just me....? got HKS hi-power exaust coming. along with HKS ssq BOV. caint wait fo the install! (burnout)

when u bought the car it had 74 miles???

btw you dont need a cbe its not going to yield u much of any power gains, but it will make u louder.

and please do not get a bov they are not meant for a maf car.

+1... Start reading up. You want a BPV not a BOV. Also, get a intake before you get an exhaust. The exhaust has no gains unless you are doing a DP or Test pipe. THe clutch is a lil tricky, you need a rear motor mount and then shifter bushings and maybe the short shifter. All that will go away.

im going back and forth on whether i want the BOV. and the HKS exaust just sounds really good....so you could say, i am going for the sound. lol. if worse comes to worse ill just sell the BOV and go with something else.....any suggestions?? and im getting exhaust and then DP soon after.

im running the HKS BOV, venting to air, and it runs perfect.

i get a back fire every once and a while... but thats it.

I've got an intake, downpipe and test pipe all for sale if you're interested. Congrats on the new car man! I've had a lot of fun with mine.

Running "perfect"? The car is designed for 100% recirc. You are running something other than perfect with out I would think. What did you do with the recirc hose?

haha, yeah.

if the car is supposed to backfire, somethings wrong with mine.

 

[mattj3636]

you take the recirc hose off and block it off. i said it runs perfect, as in idling, accelerating, etc. same as stock besides for i backfire, which is becuase it runs rich for a split second in between shifts, which isnt affecting idle or acceleration at all.
