    So who would've or would like a BMW 1-series instead?

    I'm getting a C50T (which was formerly the Volusia I think). I'm VERY excited about getting my first bike and I read everywhere that it's a good bike to begin on that I won't outgrow right away. Just bought a used one on Ebay (from a dealer) and I'm going to pick it up later this week. Alexi

    Unichip Vs. Cobb Accessport

    Not necessarily. Granted some people have VERY different setups, but I'm sure there are a lot of people that own MS3s that will keep it stock, only put on a CAI, or only put on a CAI and new exhaust. In which case, the AP will (right out the box) be able to help all of them. And apparently...

    So who would've or would like a BMW 1-series instead?

    lol. You have no idea how spot on you are . . . I'm purchasing a suzuki cruiser in a day or two, am keeping the MS3 (going to go with Warranty Direct extended warranty for a good 7 years and 75,000 miles of bumper to bumper comfort), and my wife and I (being in the military) will be applying...

    So who would've or would like a BMW 1-series instead?

    See, I'm not sure I want to go for a racing type car. And I'm not looking for a car that will beat other cars from the line, from a roll, top end, etc. I basically like a car with pep. There is a SLIGHT chance in the future that I might try to start a hobby in amateur racing. But barring...

    So who would've or would like a BMW 1-series instead?

    Yeah. I understand lots of people here were looking for a 25k car (as was I) but since I'll be going again I was thinking of upping the ante with the extra money I get over there. I was just wondering what others thought. I understand that with 10k into my current car (MS3) I'd be past the...

    What is the MS3's intended racing "purpose"?

    Just been thinking. We know the STI is rally bred, as is the evo. Mustangs are made pretty much for straight lines as was the F150 lightning. Well, I see some people drag racing their MS3s, but with that really short first two fears and the limited boost on them, it makes me wonder what would...

    TMZ Dogbone observations..

    I just installed mine about five days ago. I noticed everything you did. Done about 500 miles of driving since (had a long trip the day after installing) and it's calmed down a lot. Feels nice though. I like it. Alexi

    So who would've or would like a BMW 1-series instead?

    Well, it's official. I now know I'm getting deployed again. My orders were changed (by myself due to family situation) and looks like I bought a new car a little prematurely. I wanted a new car for returning from deployment and bought a MS3. And it's great. BUT . . . . Since I'm going back...

    Does transmission/shifter just SUDDENLY break in?

    I guess that's the course I'll have to take. Last question, can I top off with another brand fluid if i make sure its the same weight? I would imagine so, but I just want to check.

    Does transmission/shifter just SUDDENLY break in?

    How can I check the fluid level? I have a mazdaspeed 3 and as far as I can tell, the only way to check your fluid level is to drain it and refill it. Not the greatest option. I don't see any dipstick or anything. Alexi

    Does transmission/shifter just SUDDENLY break in?

    Something really wierd (but great). I changed the tranny fluid about 1000 miles ago, and noticed that it was a little easier (especially in the mornings) but nothing fantastic. Today out of the blue (I mean OUT OF THE BLUE!!!), I made a right turn, and the rest of the ride home, everything...

    Mods or save?

    I disagree with the person who said that if you have no bills then you don't have to save. The whole point of saving is so you don't have to ACCRUE bills in the future, and should emergencies arise, you have something to help you out. no one "plans" for an emergency, and to some lucky folks...

    Mods or save?

    I would say (for lack of a better word) pay your car a "tithe". For instance, you make 1200 a month. Assuming you don't have many (any?) bills aside from maybe a cellphone and perhaps helping pay insurance and car payment, take whatever you have left over after bills, and dedicate 10 percent...
