What have you done to your MS3 today?

^ your back end is looking good, by the way! and i mean that in the nicest way possible. red brake light really ties it in.
 
Ughhhh...brake squeal is killing me right now. I can't brake at any pressure under 15 mph without it. It really feels embarassing to me when I come to a stop in traffic and I know ppl can hear my brakes over the hall&oats I'm blasting on my radio

I was gonna wait till summer to replace them, but I might have to do it earlier. Why is it anytime I want to buy upgrades I end up having to buy repairs instead?

Well, upgrades for my truck, not so much the car.

Great; now 'Private Eyes' is stuck in my head...
 
Mounting my R-comp tires today was more difficult than I originally planned for. They are 225/40/18 but race tires are always way wider than the size they list to help their competitors gain an edge when they can only have a maximum tire size. So in reality they are more like a 245/40/18 and I'm stuffing them on an 18x7 wheel.
 
Plasti-dip'd the front grille, looks pretty good left the emblem chrome but debating painting it some other color.
 
blew a boost tube yesterday, thought the motor let go

needed a new pair of underwear after that one.....
 
Finally got the 225/40/18s on loving them can't wait for the first track event on the 20th this month to really put them and the car to use. :) Ordering the Sure rear motor mount hoping it gets here in time. Anyone else have that or the Shifter weights from them and if so how do you like them?

what tires? i ran some sticky bridgestone potenzas in 225 at my last track event. they did pretty well but i'm already wanting some 235s or 245s!

i think strick just installed his sure RMM... you might give him a shout.
 
replaced my plugs with fresh set of denso iridiums itv22s. My wheels and tires arrive today, can't wait to see them!

The stuff is great. The mount feels amazing w/ minimal to no vibes during "break in" period. The shifter counterweight lightens up the throw as well. I use it in conjuction with the TWM short shifter & bushings. All of the SURE items are top notch IMO. I'm running there whole product line currently :)
