Hey justin what brackets are those seats on?

 

[Velocifero]

finally got the recaro's installed tonight, had custom brackets fab'd up by JM Fabrications (www.jmfabrications.com) which took a little longer than expected. they came out awesome though.

I was about to ask why autoX was hard on lugs... thanks for clearing it up for me. hahaha

I'll snap a picture of my spline drive lug nuts at the next event. They are pretty damn crappy material. Rust around most of the splines, and the splines are all tore up. Each event consists of two wheel changes, so I'm up to 12 right now, not to mention the times taking the regular wheels of to work on the suspension. Only time will tell if these will be worth the investment. They should hold up better on the plain fact that they are hex and not spline drive.

I have a similar set of those aluminum lugs for my slipstreams. I would probably say they have laster through about 30 wheel changes thus far (they are about 3 years old). just make sure you thread them up a little bit by hand all the time and don't expect they annodizing to last long on the part that comes in contact with the socket.

 

[livelyjay]

I stripped one of my previous lugs by not pre-threading it. So I do it all the time now. I don't expect the anodized finish to last, I just want them to NOT RUST and fall apart after a single season.

Might be trading the MSP in for a MS3 or MS6. Just waiting on a call back from the dealership to see what sort of payments I'd be looking at. I'm actually leaning toward the MS6 so far....

I'd definitely want the MS6 myself, but as long as I'm in Norway I guess that's out of the question.

All I've done with my MSP today is driving it - But with injen CAI and extreme rain with water everywhere and some closed tunnels due to huge puddles in the middle it was a bit scary. (nailbyt)

Nothing happened, but I'll probably clean the MAF tomorrow (or switching to the lower milage spare) and thinking about converting my intake to short RAM for piece of mind, any thoughs on that?

 

[bradboyd80]

I definitely want the MS6 more. But the MS3 is $3k cheaper. They both have their pros and cons. They both have 33k on them, but the MS6 is 3 yrs old and the MS3 is only 1 yr old. We'll see. I may still end up keeping the MSP if the payment isn't where I want it to be.
