What have you done to your MS3 today?

I feel like every aphex twin video was copied from the deliverance boy

drove to the dealership to pick up some oil filters. what should i be seeing in my AFR while cruising? WOT? And I noticed my fuel pressure stays withing 1600-1700 while hauling ass. DO i still need internals?

 

[Jdm_Mica]

Finally after 2 years, my shift knob is centered!!

 

[Domino81]

AFR when cruising should be 14.7:1 +/- .3-.5. WOT should be 12.5 - 11... whatever? Mine tapers down. As long as it's above 1600 or so you're OK but pump internals are never a bad idea, especially for mods in the future.

Geta TWM... then it'll always be centered.

 

[Jdm_Mica]

Mine is a twm, engraved 6spd

 

[WillD]

Ugh, I was never able to get my 6 speed engraving aligned properly. If I get another TWM, or any other universal knob, it's going to have nothing on the top.

I have a James Barone 6 speed heavy shift knob but the center piece that has the gears on it moves around by itself. Before I realized it was the little center piece I thought the whole knob had come loose, needless to say it is very annoying.

been off the forum for a few weeks, going through divorce

Anyways, finally got the car clean after getting the freshly powdercoated wheels put on.

 

[WillD]

Car looks awesome. The wheels are light grey and they were previously silver?

 

[MM BOOST]

yes sir...pic in sig old (flat painted silver), pic above is powdercoated charcoal metallic.

My 2009 Ms3 just started making a noise that I can only describe as "metal singing". It's fairly high-pitch but not horribly loud. It seems very much related to wheel speed. Any thoughts on what it might be?

 

[MM BOOST]

flux capacitor is not blowing off in between shifts...its common on speed 3s.

 

[Jdm_Mica]

Have a check on your brakes? I've read stories of strange noises and it turned out to be the brake clips/metal brackets that hold in the pads. Something to consider

 

[JamesCH]

I wound up checking the brakes... I found a little ball of asphault stuck to the dust shield and rubbing on the brake disc. Pried it out with a screw driver and problem solved. No idea how it could have gotten in there in the first place.

 

[Jdm_Mica]

^Good Job! Maybe driving over freshly paved ashpault?

Autocrossed in the rain...very exciting!

That used to happen to me all the time at the track with my Miata. Hot r-comps would pick up rocks and stuff and it would end up wedged between the shield and sound awful.

A really bad skim/patch job over some bumps.
