What have you done to your MS3 today?

If the damn tint guy would get it together, I would have my tails wrapped in red film. Hopefully he gets out here today to do it! I've been waiting 2 weeks!

Mine told me we have to wait until it hits 70F so that the film goes on right. I'm getting impatient too mine looked like crap so I peeled it.
 
today I decided to bring my exhaust back to life with a little compound

That looks great. They aren't even black inside lol.

I replaced my coil today for cylinder 2 (2nd from the passenger side). It did not fix my rough idle (sounds like it is missing at idle).

It also throws a CEL at idle and low load crusing (P0302 - cylinder 2 misfire). It seems to throw the CEL randomly however, it doesn't not happen everytime I drive the car.

I am starting to get angry trying to figure this issue out. Anyone have any ideas?

2007 MS3

Mods include:
CP-E turbo back exhaust with a cat
Cobb SRI
HKS SSQV recirculated
 
Shall do. Im just glad i finally have an all weather tire, and some more wheel protection with 225s. And i rotate about every other oil change i do. I got 31,000 miles from the OEM potenzas

I think that's a record! The GY's do great on dry and snow. They wear fast, but if you got 31k out of the Potenzas, you have no worries!
 
I picked up my wheels from the paint and body shop today and dropped them off at the tire shop to have the new rubber mounted. Ill be picking them up tomorrow morning (nailbyt) I cant wait...lol. I think im going to goto bed now, just so morning comes faster.

HID fog lights the other night. did them hastily because it was dark, cold, and i just wanted to get them done. so i'll have to get back under there eventually and dress up the wires, make some sort of mount for the ballasts, and maybe remove that tab that surrounds the bulb. and still debating a separate switch for them

they are 3000K yellow 35w but they only have a yellow tint at a certain angle, like straight down on the ground and a few feet in front of that. from a distance facing the front they are as bright as the low beams (GT) and about the same color.

this also makes me want to do the TRS clear lenses and maybe a 5000K for the headlights to really complete my nighttime driving experience
 
Didn't do much to her other than take pictures. This is the most snow she has ever seen and probably will ever see.
