What have you done to your MS3 today?

Yes, A large dark cloud suddenlly appeared from his car and a bouncing piece of block found my car. It was sad to see and has made me rethink just how far I want to take my car when it comes to modding. He was heavily modded with the cp-e standback and all the bolt on's. He was not taking it too hard at EECMM but it will probably hit him when he gets home. He seemed sad that his blow caused damage to my car but it was not his fault. It doesn't bother me either as it is just a car and mine still runs. I have a perminent reminder of my trip to EECMM.

EECMM was the most fun I have ever had driving this car, the people were great and I will be going back next year. It was indeed EPIC.

Yikes, that sucks but awesome that you're cool about the battle damage. Pays to be the lead car sometimes.
 
Got the dealer to correct their mistake of putting 5w20 into the MS3...

Not sure if the free oil change was worth it :)

Ah, my statement was a bit ambiguous. The first oil change from the dealership was free, so I had them do it. Unfortunately, as you pointed out, the oil used was incorrect and it forced me to go back to the dealership. If I had done it myself or gone somewhere else, I may have saved an extra trip :)
 
Wheels, tires, and oil change today(dance)

I saw that Q Power stuff on sale at Walmart a little while back. Thought about getting it. Is it your first time using it?
 
I always use the 10w-30 Q HP. one time I tried royal purple...what a waste. Tons of extra s*** you dont need. and why 10w-30 you ask? 10w-40 vs 10w-30 by the time it heats up, it doesnt really matter. All of that "use this oil for turbo cars" is so marginal it isnt worth comparing. now as for something like 20-50...then your talking about some heavy stuff. I just make sure its synthetic and it works well(rockon)
 
Didn't do anything with my MS3 but my BC coilovers got here today! Just need to wait for my rear camber links and I'll be set.
 
Went to CBRD Speed Factory today to see a 2009 GTR get a custom test pipe put in plus a dyno. Then Caleb took me for a ride in his GTR with the same test pipe and stage one on the AP. WHAT A MONSTER(confused)

Actually 10 is the weight it flows cold. Once up to operating temp, 10w-40 is the equivalent to a 40 weight and 10w-30 is the equivalent to a 30 weight.
