I've sold my 2009 MS3 via Craigslist and title transfer was completed just hours ago. Car was in great shape and I'll miss the fun but life and work priorities trump what it did for me. You might wonder what replaced it. 2015 Toyota Highlander XLE black on black. No more FWD cars for me...

Hey all! Unfortunately I can't seem to find a quick way to resolve this but I have a Hypertech unit which I like very much, however I will be selling the car shortly and putting this tuner up for sale. For some reason I can't get the Panjo Marketplace to work properly. Mods feel free to reach...

Hey guys, I really need a factory part off the OEM intake box if any of you have one lying around and care to help me out. The rubber OEM intake elbow has an opening and a clamp on the side for the crank case vent. A molded, plastic elbow goes in this opening. The other end of it clips into the...

Starting my own thread so others can read, share, and hopefully learn. At around 48K on our 2010 CX-9 AWD started leaking dark colored, sort of graphite gray fluid from under the front of the car just in front of the driver side foot well. I changed the oil myself and looked under there noting...

I had to check my posts to confirm but I put these tires on the car April of 2011 and they are roached as of today. They are down to the wear bars on all four and a little past them on the fronts. I did not keep track but I probably got 24k miles out of them and could get away with another 5k or...

Been finding little puddles of hydraulic fluid on my garage floor last month or so just inside the driver side rear wheel. The latest puddle was too large to ignore so I need to address it. I took a peek underneath and shock is all oily and obviously leaking out the bottom half. The seal must be...

Wanted to get some thoughts on how I handled a recent problem with really bad gas ( in my car ) and the Torque app with an ELM327. On Monday this week I was running on vapors and stopped at a local Citgo to fillup. I've bought their gas before and it was fine. I normally go to Shell or BP or...

Hey all, I run the stock airbox in the winter and an Injen CAI in the summer. Eventually I will sell this car and I'm keeping the stock airbox primarily for that reason. Anyway, the weather finally warmed up and I swapped wheels and tires as well as installed the CAI. I busted a plastic elbow...

WTB OEM intake part for 2009 ms3 I'm looking for a part in the stock air box accordion tube. Its the breather line elbow for an 07 to 09 Speed3. This part goes in the side of the rubber factory air tube and snaps into the breather line. Anybody got one lying in their garage, please let me know...

I'm debating a TP for spring as a mod to add more power. I'm currently stock save for my HT and a RMM. In the spring each year, I put my CAI back on the car and configure the tune with the HT. I'm debating putting a TP on the car but not sure it's worth the effort and expense for the power...

I plan to try Torque Pro and use a wireless OBD2 transmitter with it as a monitoring tool utilizing my Android phone. Anybody have some feedback on the transmitters and the app? What you bought, how it's worked for you, experiences good and bad etc. I'm looking at these Chinese ELM 327 units and...

Just wondering when most of you who have changed your trans fluid decided to do it? How many miles? I'm almost to 30K and the trans seems fine except when it's cold. I notice second gear synchronizing not so well until the car is really well warmed. After it's been warm for awhile it's fine, but...

Noticing lately after I get off the highway from driving maybe 20 miles or more, my car is a lot louder and has more resonance in the cabin from the exhaust than it does normally. I'm guessing the exhaust is heating up and the engine is actually working better but I'm not sure. Normally during...

In preparation for colder weather and an upcoming oil change, I took off my Injen CAI and put the stock airbox back on the car. I left the battery disconnected the entire time and it was my first step before taking anything apart. Once it was all back together and I double checked everything, I...

I have an 09 and bought this CAI from another forum member. Thought it would fit, but it won't. This is for a 2010 and newer MS3. This is a Werks CAI with an AEM bypass built into it to prevent hydrolock. Comes with a Apexi air filter. Info available here...

I have an Injen CAI and a RMM on my otherwise stock 09. I'm debating putting a Hypertech on it but wondered what can I expect to gain? 20hp? 15hp? How much extra torque and where? I may/might put a test pipe on it eventually. Will that give me more than the typical 10hp gain normally observed...

I'm starting to wonder how long the clutch in this car is going to hold. It's getting softer and sloppier every month. I guess my post should have been, "how long did the stock clutch last for you?". I would suspect on a stock car, it technically should last 50K. I'm starting to think 35K if...

So shortly after I've installed my RX8 rims and 235 section width tires, I've noticed an odd noise coming from the front of the car. Only notice it in first gear and it's not very loud. Only notice it when I first take off in first, after the clutch is let out. Have listened carefully and don't...

SOLD All sold - MODS CAN CLOSE Thanks!

Gotta get tires for the summer in a week or so. I have snows for winter and I'm only really interested in summer performance tires. So far I've narrowed it down to: Continental ExtremeContact DW Hankook Ventus V12 Evo Nitto Nt05 The Nitto probably isn't happening just because I don't feel...
