What have you done to your MS3 today?

no get out of jail free card
no loaner cars
hardly any pot hole repair (I've reported the same one twice now and it has yet to get fixed.)
no coverage if you damage something on a pothole (ask me how I know...)
Have you been to Niagara Falls, NY?
FSD. From what I've read they make the ride both smoother than stock, and corner better than stock. I don't know if I could live with the rectal-shattering ride of a track-focused suspension in NYC (having lived there for four years).

Drove her for the first time in over a week, after hauling a camper with the truck. I think it gained a million hp since I've been gone
And I've been wanting to test drive that genesis 3.8 for forever. although I'm waiting for the ft86 or the subi to come out and see how that does a possible ms3 replacement

Agreed! FSD FTW!!
if i were to get a genesis it would be the 2.0, rip the motor out, build it and throw it back in, the 3.8 is extremely unbalanced and nose heavy. hyundai had a promo last year in NY and they set up an autox track, letting you drive both engines with either manual or automatic rannies. that was my experience anyway

Methinks the 2.0t is from the EVO
Nevermind...I. read the block was very similar but not identical. But that probably means that the aftermarket for the smaller turbo engine is better than for the V6
And on another note....I gots 'ta clean my car today. The newspaper had a promo code for a local car was that I might use. $6 for their $12 wash, free vacuum

orange tip means there's too much vitamin C in your gasoline

That is a by product of high cylinder heat ( meaning you need a colder range plug ). Also it could be from the fuel you use also. Some companies put dye in there gasoline , exxon uses a pinkish color.
the big gap also says you are running hot and wearing plugs out. little red is correct imho. and none of us want to run too hot, seriously. so i am glad you posted up with the question. you might have done your motor some good
never heard about the gas thing though?.
