What have you done to your MS3 today?

Thats the hardcore stuff little red! probably got a windage tray too! very cool or cooler!
Tornado warning today here in Rochester and western new york and plenty of water everywhere.
got windshield installed by reputable local business for 207 with mobile service and 8 month aquapel, looks good, And front rotors and pads are arrived today also. sweet.
not yellow, what would you suggest as best bang?
I thought the corksport rear MM insert was a great value with immediate return.

I always felt that my AP was the best bang for the buck, or 600 bucks. I plan on getting the SURE TIG intake manifold gasket to, but i didnt have the 50 bucks this time.

yes, i have a CP-e 75 duro rear motor mount and it's great bang/buck! i'd even consider it one of my best mods overall. SRI/TIP combo is also great. TWM short shifter as well. i feel like these little things made a big difference in how the car performs. coilovers are probably at the top of my list but they are obviously not cheap.
 
Little red, i have the cp-e i bought used with harness and because i hold bolted too many things on before hand and i needed badly to be tuned. team_redline did a nice job with that. But not sure about bang for buck although awesome indeed. The insert was like thirty bucks or something in 2007 and after first start everything was vibrating and i could hear the trans. it softened up but was still nice and shifting felt improved, I have a near solid rear mm now and passenger side too. Helps massage my sore back! I purchased an intake manifold gasket but have not installed. I look forward to getting a good how to from you.: )
I am using cobb springs which are really a good rate with stock dampers. but coilers let you get it dialed in as you want her to ride for sure. i have some but not installed still.
i think the BCs were the least expensive that are worth a darn and thats 900 +. Then you need to get the thing corner weighted and realigned. Coilovers might be the best coolest mod. but best bang is still up for discussion?.
 
Installed the EGR block off from S/U and the Sure TB gasket. Both a royal PITA. Had to remove the TMIC I just put on, the TIP and SRI , the battery and tray, Now for a couple days of calm driving to let the computer relearn everthing and my fuel trims to calm down. I reccomend the EGR plate , there was SO much carbon in the EGR tube it was almost clogged and Intake manifold just behind the TB.
 
Well, I was going to Empire Dragway way today... but with all the rain... they closed that, too. :sigh: I can't ******* win.

Threw Code P0401 today, for the second time since owning the car. The first time, I was able to take off the EGR and clean it out. This time, however, I don't know if I am willing to do that. Would I be able to run seafoam through the EGR? If so, what line could I use to suck it up into it?

Also, what are the pros/cons of SU's EGR block off plate? My car is nearing 75,000 miles and still runs fine, but I am sick of the EGR...My mod list is in my signature link..nothing serious...would I be okay with no EGR?
 
SU Test Pipe installed today. It was every thing you guys said it would be. HP gains feel significant! 45 min, great advice, no check engine light and install was only $35; priceless! Thanks for talking me off the ledge!
 
Let's see:

Washed it:

I also put in an OBD-II bluetooth module. Torque on Android is pretty cool!

Pics don't seem to be working here (Google Chrome browser), but I saw them in my e-mail and I especially like the brake handle.
But you need to speak to Redline Goods for a leather boot to really dress it up nicely.

Thanks man!

Sorry, its a thing I have....

You might break your leg or your arm.
You might get a 15min break at work.
You might get a break from the police officer that just pulled you over for going 80 in a 55 zone.

But when you want to stop, or keep something from moving, you apply the brake(s.)

And yes, while I do not own any of their work myself, I have seen it and it is gorgeous!! Nice stuff, and very customizable too.
 
Thought you guys might like a little Seafoam clip. Trying to clean out my EGR valve--I think it worked, judging by the smoke and the s*** on the ground!

Today, I handed the ms3 keys to the wife because the truck needed a repair (semi-recall). Also told her it needed gas today (sorry hun)

So...today I get to wonder if she's burning the clutch, topping off with the right fuel, and gunning it under 3k rpms. Gonna be a long day
