    Prepping for Winter BBRRRR

    I was wondering if anyone knew what size of rim could fit on a GT Axela? I know that with the bigger brake rotors proper sizing is important. I was hoping that a 15" steel wheel would fit. Anyone know for sure?

    Air Intake

    Let me know when you have seen it done and then I would love to get a set. They'll look sweet when I get the 18" 's on. I just want to be sure they work on someone else's ride before I start shipping stuff up to Canada.

    Air Intake

    I added the AEM to my 3 and it went in with little to no trouble. Everything came out easily and only the bolts for the lower air box were a bit of a beeatch. I put all the plastic covers back on with no disruption to anything in the engine. Easy install, nice sound, more power who could ask...

    At Last The Eibach Drop Pics!

    Rumor has it that Tien is developing a set for the 3 that should be out this summer. Crazy $$$$ but from what I hear worth it if you're looking for the ultimate drop. Their springs alone are s#*t but there full coilovers rock!

    At Last The Eibach Drop Pics!

    Man, that looks so sweet I'm waiting for my car guy up here to locate a set of springs for me. Unfortunately you guys south of the 49 get the good stuff first. Your ride reconfirms that lowering my 3 is a must do.

    Need power!!

    Hey Jack, I was at a T.O.P meet in Cambridge on Sunday and I talked to a guy that put an exhaust on his 3 and he used the magnaflow muffler and then used custom 2 1/4" piping from the muffler back to a tip. It sounded and looked good. Another guy had used a Vibrant muffler which he had...

    maxda 3 sedan 5 spd

    I haven't had a problem with the paintchips ... yet, but I can tell you that my 3 does the same thing when you start driving it right after start-up. It slugs until about 2k rpm and then boom you're outta there. I can't figure out what it is but maybe some others may have some insight on it...

    AEM Intake backorder?

    I just put an AEM CAI on my 3 and I agree with what you say about putting in black mesh behind the fog lamp to get more air access. I wonder if Grille Craft is going to be making a batch or if this will have to be a custom job.

    Where to get Axela badges?

    I know it will be a pain to try and get them up to Canada but if you have a hook up and the price is good enough I would love to get a set of the Axela badges too. Write me back to say whether it is going to go or not.

    Need power!!

    Thanks for the info... I'm not looking for an insane machine I had one already and I need some drivability plus the car is under warranty I don't want to blow that away. I'm going to use the AEM CAI as soon as we can get it in Canada and then check the magnaflow site for exhausts. If you hear...

    Need power!!

    I'm not sure about the 2nd cat idea yet...let me know what your dealership says about taking it off. If it is all good then why not? I have the sedan and I think that the exhausts run the exact same (I hope as well). I was talking to another friend of mine and he said that if we cannot get...

    I hear that I've done my last two cars and cut some corners which only came back to bite me in the end. This time all perfect or not at all. There is guy in T.O. that does all custom work for exhausts I think its time to pay him a visit. Have you heard anything about turbo kits for the 2.3...
