What have you done to your MS3 today?

[Domino81]

I really hate that I'm not going to make it to that meet. Just too much going on here.

Ordered Hawk PC pads for the rear and picked up a present for myself:

Installing a Cobb TIP tonight.

If i dont trade in my car next summer i HAVE to get another power adder. i have mscai and ht, im thinking dp maybe? i have almost 70k miles

 

[Domino81]

Ditch the HT and get a real tuning solution as WELL AS a downpipe.

 

[oaklandopen]

NO....how bout them apples?

but for real...i like the ht. its very "set it and forget it" ron popeil style. and a dp will be fine for the ht

 

[fishdonotbounce]

EBay downpipe and keep the ht. Domino, why would he need an ap? He's on stock turbo.

Round-trip from home to work. I'll do it again tomorrow. Tomorrow is my last day in the current position - Friday I start my new job (same agency, just different position) with a 13% raise. Yea!!! New tires are on my list. The Yoko YK-520s are below minimum now.

I may drive the Ram Monday and Tuesday. Hurricane Isaac looks like he wants to pay us a direct hit sometime Tuesday.

Ordered a new CV axle finally...

False. Through every single AP vs HT debate on this forum or msf, I have not seen anything that proves that statement right. I've also never seen anything showing AP making more power on pump gas over HT with same mods.

Oh god i didnt mean to start that stuff again

i probably wont do anything as i really want to trade her in on something else. i havent broken it yet so im not going to run any more risk by changing something now

next car will definitely be a downgrade in performance in order to get better mileage, but i am looking for something maybe on the upscale side while staying compact and without a traditional trunk, as in a hatch

Not the HT vs AP debate again...(deadhorse

As in the Lexus CT hybrid:

(supposedly 43 city/ 40 hwy)

Or the Volvo C30 with it's turbo 5 cylinder?

(227hp and 30 city/29 hwy)

I'm going for the more power, less mileage approach with my next car

 

[8.5MS3]

i have a hard time believing the HT will get me anywhere near what I've got with the ap

intake only i was pushing 28X hp with a stupid aggressive tune (see blown turbo @ 18k)

skip to 3:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKPvuVBmH_w

btw there was a scion Xa that put out an impressive 85whp that day, park bench wing doesnt help when airflow isnt moving over it i guess

 

[oaklandopen]

Yes the ct200h was one of my choices. already test drove one and loved it. it handles like a champ even though it wont get you anywhere in any rate of hurry

the a3 is another choice, although im still on the fence about audi/vw in general. i never considered the volvo

of course, i could go even more cheap and extreme by getting a prius c. that would truly offset the ram3500 we have

 

[8.5MS3]

if you buy a prius i will personally drive to DE and forcibly remove what was once your testicles

i do like that volvo tho

 

[WillD]

I agree about the Prius. I'm not a huge fan of the CT200h either just because I've heard disappointing things about the power. But then I've never driven one myself.

I'm a fan of the Volvo as well. Some girl was driving one at an autocross I was at recently.

Cant take whats not there, and theyve been removed for going on 6 years. i know now i will never get enjoyment out of life, therefor im in prius territory
