    Little bit of bass for cheap

    The factory Bose system just doesn't have any bass at all (it says it has a subwoofer?!?), so I was looking for something cheap that doesn't take up a lot of space that could fill in some of the low notes. I wanted to keep my entire trunk space available for strollers and the trunk pass through...

    Where to get output for amp?

    I was going to add a little amp and sub for a little extra bass since the factory Bose system sucks. Does anyone know where the best place to get signal would be? It can be either RCA low or high level input.

    Wire "Angel Eyes" with DRL?

    Anyone good with wiring that knows how to wire the "angel eye" light around the bulb to turn on with with daytime running lights? I like the way it looks with the parking lights turned on, but I don't want to drive around like that.

    Picked up a new 6 yesterday

    Traded in my '12 Speed3 for more room, better gas mileage, no need for premium fuel and more comfort. With the new baby I needed a family car. Was sad to see the speed go, but I'm really loving the new 6. It has by far exceeded my expectations. Had to rearrange the garage to get it to fit...

    Hyptertech 62003 Tuner

    I'm tired of waiting for Hypertech to update their tuner for the 2012 MS3s. I had a 2009, but traded it in for a 2012 in November of last year with the idea that I could use the tuner with my new car... It's not doing me any good sitting in my closet any more and we have our first baby due in...

    Nagare Parking Lights and Fog LEDs

    Finally received my Nagare LED bulb replacements and wanted to post pictures for comparison. After I replaced the fogs with the Corksport LED ones, the parking lights looked really bad and didn't match the rest of the lights. Here's a before and after: Before: After:

    New to this forum

    Been in the 2007-2009 forums, but I just traded in for a 2012. Looks like I'll be hanging around here now. It's a white with the tech package. I miss my seats in the '09, but I love everything else. Here's some quick snaps I took in a shopping center parking lot with the iPhone.

    So long, it's been fun

    Just traded in my 2009 speed3 for a 2012, so I'll be over on the 2010+ forums now. Thanks for all the good advice and help over the past 2.5yrs. :) Oh ya, here's some pics (snapped with iPhone in a shopping center parking lot). And no, I don't live in Canada, they come in white now.

    Rubbing Issue!?

    I just drove the carpool for the first time today with my new tires and I heard it rub a few times over some high speed bumps. It sounded like it came from the fronts, but can anyone give me an idea of where to look? Is there something I should be looking for? I'm running 18x7.5 +48 offset...

    235/40 18 too big for 7.5 Rim?

    The specs say 8.0-9.0 rim width for a 235/40 tire, but I wanted the extra width. The cheapest option by far would be to get the 215/45 stock tire size however. Here are my options and costs mounted and balance out the door: 235/40 = $676.46 225/40 = $657.46 215/45 = $604.16 This would be...

    New tire recommendations, type/size

    It's about time for new tires for my speed, but I'm not sure exactly what to get. In Atlanta it never gets cold enough for long enough to warrant a winter setup, but it does get really cold a few days out of the year. I drive to work at 5:30 in the morning which can get down into the 20's that...

    MS3 has a new little friend

    Finally found a little SUV that my wife and I both like so that she can run over stuff in her car. Took awhile to find the exact one we wanted and had to fly up to DC to pick it up and drive it back to Atlanta, but it was a fun 10.5 hour drive to break it in. It's not all that fast, but it...

    Civic Type R

    Ok, it's not an MS3, but I thought it was cool none-the-less. While we were in Greece a couple weeks ago I walked by a Civic Type-R and since I was impressed I had to snap a few pics. Why don't they release these cars in the US?

    FS: OEM 6 Disc CD, MP3 Player, Piano Black

    I'm selling my factory 6 disc in dash CD player with MP3. This came out of my 2009 MS3 GT probably 15 days after I bought it. There are no scratches or damage on it at all, it's in perfect condition. It is for the Bose system and does not come with the LCD. I'm not sure if it will work in...

    Boost Leak?

    I finally got around to installing a boost gauge in my car and I'm now a little worried that I might have a leak somewhere. In first and second gear I get around 12.5-13 PSI (which was expected) but in third it's only hovering around 14 PSI, maybe 14.5. I thought this car is 15.6 stock, so why...

    FS: Black Forge BPV

    I'm selling my black Forge BPV for $110 shipped. It has just been reconditioned with a new top seal, side o-rings, piston and a fresh coat of grease. I've probably put less than 100 miles on it since it's been reconditioned, so it's running like new. I had to replace the top seal so I bought...

    Good BPV without the Forge ping?

    I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good BPV that doesn't have the ping sound like the Forge. I'm using a Forge now and it works great, I just can't get over the fighting ninjas under my hood. Oh, I also don't want to spend too much.
