[Equinox]

Here's the newest pictures of the ride. I just put the manifold on last night, and painted the valve cover.

And more

[ForceFed]

Nice.

[di81977]

Looks great. Love the look with the wheels. Who's CTS? I could not do two black cars, went for CWP.

[sandspeed]

time attack te37 with rays engineering lugs ftw! Awesome MS3 man, the valve cover is a nice touch.

[justanothermp5]

wow nice rims, but why is the plastic cover for the TMIC still there if u have a front mount?

the CTS is mine as well, a new addition

My intake has moved below the TMIC cover, it still gaskets airflow, so the car now intakes air from the grill using the TMIC cover. THat's a K&N panel air filter under the mesh of the cover.

[justanothermp5]

hmm... thats cool, probably the only way it would work
it looks like theres not any room for a cone filter under there lol

sick car though, i like the shift knob alot, thats an autoexe right? do the MS3 and the p5 have the same shifter thread?

[UHATEIT]

SWEET! I like the K&N in there,thats some crazy custom shit right there!

Any springs in the mix???? Since you've got so much done you probably have money and will be going coils instead of springs I assume?

[Betelgeuse]

Sweet looking car man! And definitely a one of a kind with that intake setup. Have you put it on a dyno yet?

[Equinox]

Yeah, I'm pretty much done for performance for now until I upgrade to the ATP turbo, next is suspension, I've decided to go with coilovers, I just haven't done enough research to decide on which, most likely BC or Tein. Unfortunately I have yet to dyno the car, I haven't found one nearby, I will take it to the 1/4 track next weekend, me thinks. I beat a WS6 transam, and a turbo KA24 nissan 240. The Nissan dynod at 266whp 300wtq, so I'm assuming I'm about 320 whp range.

Oh and for the thread on the p5 shifter, no clue man, I would try it on the MP3 my wifey has but she won't be around for a few months.

[justanothermp5]

well the mp3 has a diff. thread pitch then the p5 anyways
thanks though

[hectik1]

Sweet setup! I love the custom mods!(cool)

[dandydaniel]

that is one of the nicest ms3's i've seen in and out. but especially in. how did you go about custom fitting that k&n filter in place of the tmic?

[mazpro]

I think that's the corksport FMIC, it puts the air filter in place of the stock TMIC.



Great looking car man, I love the wheels.

[jaydubz]

Equinox, those pics are boner inducing! Mind if I ask you how much those wheels set you back? They along with the Tenzo rims truly compliment the car.

Reagen, the car looks amazing. Go for the Teins, much better than BC.

appreciate the sympathy bro

[jersey_emt]

Wow, I love what you've done to your MS3. Nothing crazy or over the top....just clean modifications that look absolutely great.

Cheers!

[Talbot]

Good lookin car.

[SpyNaldo]

did you take it to the dyno?
does the intake have airflow straightener?

[Equinox]

no and noclue

[IDRVSLO]

Not to insult everyone in this thread but that isnt some crazy custom off the wall shit. Where the heck have you guys all been at? Nice yes, but that FMIC is just an off the shelf part.

Scroll halfway down the page. http://corksport.com/store/category/buir/MS3_Engine.html

It is the Corksport FMIC. I was the first one to have the kit when it came out back in December, besides their prototype/test car.

[dominoy2k1]

thanks for the info.(ugh)(gtfo)
