Finally got around to updating my AP map and reflashed the ECU. Ordered new internals now time to see the difference.
What have you done to your MS3 today?

Looks pretty good
Hmm I'm definitely going to have to look into the EGR delete.
I had the MS3 through 1/2 of this winter and if I can do so, it will never again see winter roads again. The s*** they use on the roads is absolutely horrible. It almost makes me cry. Whaaaa
Looking into hpfp upgrades myself. Want to upgrade a few more things but I want to be safe first. stock pump is still at 1600-1700 at WOT all the way to redline but I'm not taking any chances.

Nice. I can't wait to get a fuel pump or internals and then a downpipe. I picked up a CP-e TIP tonight because it was too good of a deal to pass up. That makes one of 5 things I want to buy for the speed in the next few months. TIP, fuel pump, down pipe, SS brake lines, Brake pads for track.

You will love the downpipe. Made a big difference for mine.
Ordered partplaza eye lids, sideskirts and a custom rear lip that i am going to make my next project much like i did the STi front lip 2 weeks ago. I am pretty pumped to try it out and I am pretty sure I will be able to make it work. I am hoping to try this out and give us a cheaper, better option for the rear on these cars. I wished 1st gen speeds weren't the bastard child and got left out of the lip kit parties 
not revealing yet in case it don't work. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up until I get it in and get it fitted. I am feeling pretty confident that we will make it work, but it might take some ingenuity. I will know for sure once I receive it. Regardless, with what I have invisioned...it should be sick.
I found the Motorcraft gear oil to be no improvement over the OEM oil I drained out of my 2007 MS3 a few weeks ago at 162,000 miles. I was hoping it would help the sticky 1-2 shift when cold, but it's actually a tiny bit worse. And now I hear the LSD growl a little every now and then.

getting something i want for my car is like convincing your wife/gf to let you go to a strip club (at least it is for me). They dont see any poiny or value, but i sure as s*** do
