NICE. Mine should be ready saturday. I'm like a kid at christmas. Can't wait to get off these damn winter tires. Weather for next weekend is supposed to hit 80
 
What are you getting that will be ready by saturday? I am super sleepy and ready for bed, so excuse me if this has already been answered or if I already know, but I don't know off the top of my head!

Powder coated RX8 rims I believe.
 
Sweet Wheels!
Now all I need to do is find a nice set of Stock wheels that havnt been curbed yet. :/
Previous owner destroyed these wheels.
 
Got my Goodyear Eagle GTs mounted yesterday. Veryyyy nice. ^_^

They have been fantastic in all the rain we've been getting since yesterday afternoon.
 
Ordered a Hypertech power programmer. $405 shipped (overnight) from Autoanything.com. Should have to tomorrow.
 
intresting!! thats real cheap too. let us know how it goes


Will do. I thougt that was the best price going so I ordered it yesterday. Turns out that a member here AequitasVeritas can get them thorugh the shop he works at for an even better price.

+68hp +38lb/ft of torque according to the site? umm...too good to be true? if i don't find you in a "my engine just blew up" thread in a year i might go out and get this cuz it sounds like a cheap AP

Cheap AP with no ATR type software.
 
Well, I started off questioning if it was too good to be true. Did a lot of reading on this and the other forum site. Chris@hypertech has provided a lot of good information, which is contained in the threads on this website. After reading his responses, reviewing the data he provided, and looking at responses from other members who have tried it, I decided it was worth a try. You can't beat the price of $375 to$405 shipped for one of these things.

I will let you know how it works.

Look at the dyno...it instantly becomes clear as to how they came up with those claims...peak horsepower was increased by 13 hp.

Interesting that they report the biggest hp gain on the curve, yet not the biggest tq gain...

Took my MS3 to Autox and got 2nd in street tire class.



Any impressions yet?

The car rides 100% better now, the bumps are absorbed. The car has a more refined ride is the best way to describe it. The car also does not skip when taking a hard turn at speed on a bumby road. Only draw back is the rears are a little softer than stock and the rear squats more when taking of hard from a stop. The rear tends to wander more but does not break free, hard to describe. I'm happy with them for sure. It may not be the best choice for those that are autox ing, but as a daily driver this is the way to go.

I've heard they give it a tiny raise...True?

I like thier latest dyno chart better (now that they added programming to support intakes/exhaust). Looks like goodness to me.
