What have you done to your MS3 today?

[ericrapp]

i became default owner of two abused cats about six months ago and getting an idea of how they work.
i used to be a cat kicker in my mispent youth. but i am old and weak and now am glad to help the buggers out. or vice versa
looking forward to ride in the car when sorted.
I am glad to have a milestone marker measure up to.
Will it stay daily driver ?
Nice pics both
But whats really fd up is i have the same vacuum....

Just a stock intercooler is all.....a general observation

Id love another intercooler, any mods really. With the right amount of time and money i could go all 8.5MS3 on my s***

pm me when the time comes and you have too much cash LOL. a deal for forum brother is what i am all about. I have lots of parts lying around.
Domino and 8.5 and those guys in Floridia, Texas have lost their minds. Don't follow them into the dark places

Lol come to the dark side and join MSF. Where sub 400hp is for the weak

Eric, the clutch is custom and hand built. Its a rebuilt flywheel with stiffer springs, a rebuild pressure plate with slightly stiffer finger springs and a ceramic based clutch material

Should hold 500tq at the crank with no real difference in pedal feel and last 50k, unlike the act's that need to be rebuilt every 15-20k

Thank you for helping rescue furry people. We have 13 rescues - seven dogs and six cats. All were either found at the local shelter or directly off the highway. Don't know how anyone could kick a critter that did them no harm, though.

I had a major issue (s)
back when i was young and a little/ logic and compassion had no place in my world. I didn't just kick cats. I used to light them on fire. while there owners held them. I feel much better now.
But my family and i have had and have many animals nowadays. we are reasonably Zen people these days : )
Today i took apart my rear suspension. Just one side . kinda.
I had the Cobb springs and stock struts. which were a nice setup for those thay have an interest. quite an improvement over stock rates while not stressing the strut.
But i have had some bits i wanted to get doen before i fired her up again.
I ran into issues with the camber arm passenger side. what a pita.
anyways 5 hours in the garage and grilling chicken and pork chops before the rain.
This weekend i will take apart again and see how much faster i can strip and replace..for fun.
Looks like the k sports are going to run a bit lower than the Cobb drop.
Nice thank gosh for torch, PB blaster impact guns and beer and hwere the hell is the directions again? oh i used them to start the fire i bet

Decided to go out for a few vdyno logs. Still very satisfied with the results. Car is exactly where I want it.

My new version 2 CP-e rear motor mount shipped today. I also have an AFE filter recharge kit coming to clean my DIRTY ASS FILTER! It is filthy.

Didnt they offer a synapse valve as a package ?
Let us know how it installs and then how it performs !

What size piping.
I really liked the look of those and the routing looked cleaner Good luck

 

[Jdm_Mica]

Bought it used. V1
