What have you done to your MS3 today?

[oaklandopen]

Before you attempt the indy fogs let me send you or just post up some better pics. The link sent had terrible detailed photos and I ended up pm'ing lara for a better description of the wires

I may just post a how-to for the gt for this forum

 

[LaraS]

You're welcome. I thought of writing up my own walk-through (as I also had trouble with the supplied photos), but forgot when I ended up doing it last year. >_<

Today I installed the SURE rear engine mount, 10 mm hubcentric spacers & extended studs up front. The SURE mount feels great, only a little added vibes and its not broken in yet. The fitment/install was a breeze too. I wont have any pics of it with the spacers installed until after the south florida epic meet on sunday though. Shes in hibernation till then

Stupid car was smoking like a pig tonight.

:angry:

buy it some nicorette gum or a nicotene patch.

 

[oaklandopen]

^^^bwahahahahahaha

Stop the "smoking" addiction by buying it a bigger turbo. And in the process, feed your mod addiction!

 

[Domino81]

I bought the PTP PCV fix. I can justify $32. I can't justify spending the cost of a new turbo, the cost of an AP, the cost of a tune and anything else involved when this is something that should be covered by ******* powertrain warranty.

let me know how putting her on the pill works for you, now that the weather is warmed back up. I put one in along with an oil catch can, then took the pill out because I started smelling gasoline...it turns out the pill is okay, now I need to make sure my catch can is good. I never got around to putting the pill back in...

 

[Domino81]

If it works, I'll be happy. It's odd. It only smokes occassionally. I want to add a Corksport exhaust. And I think smoking would look odd with a 'tuner' exhaust and a drop whenever my Koni's get here.

sold the 2007 speed6 today for a 2008 speed3 It feels nice to have a hatchback once again (originally had a Protege5 before the speed6)

 

[Worbit]

stupid double post!

 

[not yellow]

^ interesting... why the switch?

 

[Worbit]

I swear, im only clicking that submit button once!

 

[Worbit]

well, the speed6 was a boat for me. After owning it for four months I managed to back it into a 2" pole and did some serious damage to the bumper

and the stupid ass pole I hit. The city has since removed these and replaced them with taller ones (-_-)

I also like the look of the MS3 way more than the MS6.

 

[oaklandopen]

^^^well, you have 10" to play with now that you've shortened your car. The ms6 is 186" and the ms3 is 176"

 

[LaraS]

Congratulations on the switch. =)

 

[Worbit]

Thanks guys I've always wanted a 3 hatchback and after driving the MS6, I knew I needed to get a MS3! With a new car now I find myself with the mod bug once again.....thank god I just got my yearly bonus!

 

[oaklandopen]

just did a "how to" for independent fogs on a gt with HID headlights

so mmboost if you read this go head over to the how to and check it out

 

[8.5MS3]

if you want to try and salvage the bumper, take it off, run a heat gun on the inside on a low setting, making sure not to stay in 1 place too long and you can soften and slowly push out the ass dimple, then apply touch up as necessary....



got a ******* ticket for being too close to a hydrant....so i backed it up, put tape on the ground, measured out 17 feet and snapped pics
