What???
That's something I'd like to learn more about one day, although they have the EFI carbs and intake systems now to retro-fit that seem pretty interesting.
Was just at the gas station getting some cold drinks, and this guy comes up and asks "is that your 3 speed out there?"
After some lulz and conversation, he asks about what turbo is in the car. I say k04 and he goes "s***...thats what i upgraded to in my GLI" and points at his jetta.
Too bad those k04's are better than ours...

I had an idea on my way home from work tonite. Any speed3 owners upgrade their rsb and want to get rid of their stock bar? That's an option that I had on my Protege and I was pretty happy. From the numbers I've read, that will double the tension on my stock setup.
There aren't many of us that get them. I've had a little trouble getting the dual carbs sync'd on the Bav, but for the most part they're pretty easy. Just regulated fuel leaks.

Sweet! I was hoping that somebody could hook me up. Any idea what you'd be looking to get for it?
Why not just do a carb'ed LS swap? lol

Had my first ricer rev earlier today. Driving into my neighborhood, young kid in his tC with stock wheels painted white and a fart can slowed down as I passed him and revved his little lawn mower engine. I got agood chuckle out of it until I realized this is going to be my life now. I got a little sad then. 
that's an option
This is what I would have in mind with a LS Swap http://www.jegs.com/i/Chevrolet-Performance/809/19258267/10002/-1 Seems like the easiest way to go and In a perfect world I could get a new LS that comes with this type of harness pre-tuned

You'll get used to them
Idk $30? If I dony have to ship it. Anybody think thats a good deal?
Yes, good deal.
You will need speed3 endlinks. The studs that go through the bar on a mz3 (on my 06 anyway) are 10mm and speed3 (08 I believe) are 12mm. I went to a machine shop and had bushings made to take up the space, still working fine for me.
So... While working the autocross today, the corner that I happened to be stationed at had some pretty quick turns back to back to back. The bone stock Focus ST's rotated pretty nicely around them. Normally when I see a bone stock MS3 do an autocross, it's almost like they got all the understeer in a nice little package. Then I wondered, why does everyone hate the ST's when they seem to not push like a freight train in that environment?
