What have you done to your MS3 today?

Oh, and when I was dismantling the factory TIP I noticed the clamp holding it on to the turbo wasn't even tightened... at all. I went to remove the clamp and it was already loose so I just pulled it off the turbo. I guess someone at the factory forgot to tighten it!?

this is normal. lol
 
I installed my rear spoiler lip, as well as something else my parents got me for my birthday. :)

Today I'll be washing the car, installing my front lip and side-skirt add-ons and taking some pictures!

Cant wait to see the white out. I believe yours is the first
 
HID installed. It was almost plug & play thing. It took less than an hour to install.
It looks and performs better than expected all for less than $100 from ebay.
Next friday it will be the horn. It just don't sound right.

2010 MS3 Black w Tech.
 
got boost cut today... Gonna clean my MAF. Its was only 76 out. Swapped out Forge with stocker and it was less prominent. And i am gonna order a new seal for the forge too. Stocker holds 14psi till 5500. forge is only holding 13psi till 5500 (omg).


Edit: I just found out why it was leaking.

Since i did buy this valve used, this is to be expected as normal wear and tear. The rebuild kit comes with new piston, o-rings, and grease.

That's exactly what my o-ring looks like. It doesn't connect to a full circle, but when you push it in the hole it fits together.

Is it supposed to be closed? I guess I need to buy one of those kits too then.

When you look at it.. its definately a tear. i imagine its supposed to be together since all the other o-rings are closed and seal to prevent leaking.
 
Went ahead and ordered one of those kits too. Oh, and I rotated my tires. Kinda a pain to do with this car, hard to jack the front up.
 
Lara... Your car always looks great. One of the coolest CWP's out there IMHO ;) I love your choice of white for the spoiler extender.
