Yes it is. And STU is crazy also.
What have you done to your MS3 today?

Haha no kidding. I got ***** at nationals in DSP. Still it gives me room to play with mods which is always fun.
I took mine to the dealer for the clunks over transitions and bumps in the front end. I told them I thought it might be the sway bar bushings because the endlinks seemed tight (tried yanking on them to see if they would move or pop, didn't move at all).
But they are going to replace the struts and endlinks this coming Saturday. Hopefully I was wrong and it actually is the endlinks or struts because it was really annoying and don't want another dealer visit. The service manager was really nice about everything and seemed like a good dude.
3/36 Bumper to Bumper ends for me on 1/24/10 (seeing how as I am only at 24,000).
Just wondering if my "ping" noise from the struts I get over bumps is related at all, we will see once I get it back I guess.

Did you go to Sentry West in Shrewsbury?
If you did, you're right they are a bunch of "good dudes" been going there since they opened back in 2002 and have never had a bad experience.

Those old EKM3s were HEAVY though right? Like 23 pounds or so I believe. And the silver RPF1s look real good. I really hate the look of the black RPF1s on our cars (they look almost like steelies to me), but the silver and bronze look good.

I found an unused wire harness in the center dash when I took it apart... I wonder what it's for...

I love the look of your old rims better Trevor... they were just so different and unique. It seems like everyone has RPF1s. But I'm assuming these weigh much less and they do look good still... so kudos.
true BUT not in 19s heehee
Well I am breaking the law by going to Northend which is a non-speed dealership but I know some people there and they treated me really well with the mazda6 I had. We will see how things go....

just bought some SU boost tubes (black) and T-bolt clamps
If you don't have Navi, it could be for that?

I ... broke my battery box bracket my Cobb SRI is connected to. Yay! Now to figure out how to fix that. Noticed a rattle and pulled over to look. I've seen some people on these forums that have had the same thing happen to them due to engine torque - just need to find them. Funny, i was going to put my stock intake on TODAY in order to run in DStock class for autox. Timing ... sigh.
