So i went to the Shop Thursday... I was there for like 11 hours i think. Didn't get everything done since half the time the other 2 ppl i went with were bullshitting... Our shop is connected to a Hobby store so they went n played with those RC cars that go like 60+ mph and some rc trucks to go off road with. I sat there and worked though.

Welcome to this forum!

(i just joined m3r since i just got my 3, and ive seen you there)

Nice update with the speed3 wheels. wish i could find something like that around here. then again, around here i would probably be robbed looking on craigslist, so i always just buy new.

Yea. And i only paid $500 for the wheels and tires. But im in SoFLA, can get robbed easily off craigslist. luckily i kinda knew the kid.

nice build man. i wanted to ask how is the corksport oil catch can doing for you?

Nothing yet lol. I haven't had time to install it. I was suppose to but time ran low...
But it really probably won't do much for me...
 
oh nice. my friend just installed one on his STI and said he got almost a spoon full of oil only after a month. but even a little bit for our cars is better than nothing. and if you dont like it, i'll take it off your hands (2thumbs)
