Indeed, a half day at our local track costs 100$. I usually sneak in when my mom is teaching her school so I can get some track time for free!
What have you done to your MS3 today?

You better have that tuned for that with a AP or WOT Box.....
I didn't think there was an issue doing it as a one-time thing. I don't have any mods.

One time thing... maybe not. Don't do it again though. That's reaaaaally rough on the tranny.

Oh no you have to do it a lot for anything to go wrong. But after doing it once it gets contagious. I'm glad I tuned it in with the AP lol
I agree....flat shifting and saving all of that boost feels addicting. I don't really have an interest in drag racing, so I'm not sure I'd even need to do it again. I'm trying to get into road racing and I've done a few autocrosses.
@Saskatchewan17: Yeah, I've heard as much. I just wanted to feel what it was like. I have enough fun with timing heel-toe downshifting day-to-day, so I can pass up the flat shifting.
Switched out my side markers for some black tinted side markers. Also played around with the new COBB AccessPort I got in the mail. Can tell a pretty significant difference but still figuring out which map will give the best feel. I have a SF Intake with catless, not catback, exhaust. Need to figure out which map to go with (currently with Stage 1 + SF / 93 octane).

painted the stockers bronze. I like how it turned out. Installed pics will come later. I need some new cool lug nuts.

Apologized to my car for letting it sit in the driveway all week.
My wife is out of town, so I've been driving her car just for something different.

Installed pics, the weather has been gloomy so all the photos are from the cloudy days. Sorry for crappy camera phone pics.
Overall I am happy how it turned out, I'm glad they are a little darker, I didn't want them to be so bright and gold.

I was skeptical when I saw the first photos, but after seeing them on the car I think they turned out really well. (2thumbs)
