    F/S Turbo XS FMIC

    This kit is COMPLETE. Power steering cooler, hardware, clamps, hoses, pipes, and core- it's all here! It has been on my car for about 2,500 miles. The kit fits awesome and does its job. It took me and a friend about 2.5 hours to install it, but if I had to do it again, it would be under 2 for...

    1/8 mile track today. Embarrassed myself.

    So yea, as the title states I embarrassed myself earlier today. Although we did get a lot of looks and a few "what are those? those buggers are quick" as Randy (palerider) and I went to the track, I didnt do as well as I expected. Randy will probably agree. I spent all week studying the...

    New Pictures (56k, upgrade already!)

    Ok the quality isnt great (as always) and my driveway is uneven, making my wheel gaps look all funny. Aside from those two issues, comments are more than welcome! (confused)

    +37mm offset?

    First off, I have these wheels ordered already and they will be here between 10-15 days. I got a great deal on them, and I know that I should have gotten an offset closer to 52.5mm, but they didnt offer it. I have read that some people have (or at least one has,) 17x8.5 53mm's riding on...

    Wheels + Drop = WOW! (no 56k)

    I figured I'd post this in here mainly because the main difference in these two cars is the stance. Mine is the blue one and the black is Palerider's. I just cant get over how much better a car looks after simply lowering it and putting different wheels on it! Observe: His...

    Test pipe question

    I just received my PG test pipe and I see that it didn't come with the donut gasket that it says. Can I go to Home Depot or Lowe's or something and get any ol' 3" donut gasket? Is there something special I should look for (material wise or anything else?)? (shrug)(shrug) Thanks in advance!

    Christmas Present Ideas

    It's about that time of year again, telling the parents what I would like for Christmas. I'm happy that I havent moved out yet (19 and still in college) b/c it is allowing me to pay for my MS3 as well as save for a house/townhouse when I graduate. I have a 2007 Cosmic blue MS3 with the MS CAI...

    Mod choices

    Since I'm only 19 and am paying for the MS3 myself, I dont have much cash for mods. I do have the MS CAI, but it's time for something more. My options (completely unrelated lol) are: TRZ dog bone- I drove Palerider's MS3 with the mount and I was "wowed" in the difference. Luckily his was...

    Miles on your MS3???

    I have had mine since July 31st, 2007 and have racked up 2540 miles on it as of September 13th. That does include a trip to the beach and 2 trips to the mountains... I daily drive this thing as many of you do-- this is just a quick way to see how many miles are on your MS3s 2540 in 1.5 months

    Debadging questions...

    I am thinking of removing the front emblem and 2 rear emblems on my cosmic blue ms3... First, how is the best way to remove the front M badge? Second, I've heard that the rear "M" emblem has prongs (or whatever they're called)... Is there any special knowledge/technique that needs to be known...

    MS CAI and FMIC?

    I just installed the MS CAI and I cannot stop grinning! It's freaking awesome! Anyway.. I'm looking into my next mod. Can the BEGI (or whatever it is) FMIC fit with this intake installed? If not, what are my FMIC options (if any?) Sorry if this is a repost, I couldnt find this exact answer...

    What MS3 do I have?

    So apparently there are only 5000 MS3s that are being imported. I want to know what number mine is (1750/5000... etc). Is there a way that I can tell that? I work for VW and the Special edition cars such as the new R32, and the Fahrenheit GTI/GLI have their number plate on the steering wheel...
