What have you done to your MS3 today?

Intercooler cold pipe has a hole worn through it from rubbing against the framerail.

surprisingly the car still hit 19psi, only thing that gave it away was the fuel trims being out of wack

and yes a small whistle which i blamed on worn brakes or a rock in the dust shield initially

AAHHH, of course. the frame rail that made the hole, was sealing the hole, except for during shifts when the engine rocked

strong diagnosis work

I've been cleaning a barage of bugs and ******* tar off my car lately. It's really beginning to suck.

Are Collinite waxes available in your area?

If so, any of the popular 3 915, 845IW, or 476s are very resilient.

FK1000p high temp wax. 'nuff said.
Still goin' strong.

I tried to play with a Focus ZX3 with a body kit thing (looked OK) and at least exhaust (sounded good,) maybe more, but he'd have none of it. Just as well...

My mom took her '04 Mazda MPV in for service. Bill was $1800 for ignition coils, plugs, timing chain gasket leaking oil on exhaust. On an '04... They gave here a Nissan Sentra as a rental. Pathetic.

This morning I did the independent fog mod. Here are the results.

^^^^winning

 

[Kyrosfactor]

Thanks man, I had great instructions from our How To section. Happy I finally did it. Takes about an hour because of the tiny space you work with.

 

[oaklandopen]

Yiu have the sport or gt?

 

[Kyrosfactor]

Sport, I installed an HID kit for the headlights, ordering some HID's for the fogs soon. Gonna have 35w, 8k on both.

 

[Domino81]

I've been using the Meguiars NxtGen wax. It's great. But as far as getting the bugs not to stick... ugh.. Worthless. I'll have to look into this. I needs a pressure washer.

 

[oaklandopen]

^^^^ooh i love my pressure washer like i love my grill....and it has plenty of uses. I got a 3k Psi with a Honda motor a couple years back and never regretted it. Only guff i have is that it doesnt do high pressure soap

 

[8.5MS3]

[lyonsroar]

Opinions?

they are both respectable... can't go too wrong here. just depends on the brand/color you want to rep and how patient you are! i have the cobb and have been completely satisfied.
