    My car is DEAD!!! WTF>>>

    Pleases read the thread and my full statement before you reply. I said "no electrical power". If you think this is incorrect I challenge you to pull your battery from your ECU controlled EFI car (one that has an alternator, not a generator) and push start it. Moving on: The issue the OP and I...

    My car is DEAD!!! WTF>>>

    Hope you fixed your issue (seeing as this is many years old). I am having the same problem with '08 Speed3. After some research I've found out that ECU's of new cars control everything, including dash, interior lights, headlights, etc. If there is a bad ground or battery terminal the ECU can...

    car died on me last night

    Glad to find this post. I have a '08 Speed3 that is currently having this problem. My dash lights etc. work until I try to start, then entire electrical system turns off including dash, interior lights, etc. I have found people saying if the ECU does not have enough power it will reboot, causing...

    How do I remove MS3 rear bumper?

    I have a 2008 Speed3 and I am trying to remove the rear bumper plastics to do some custom work on my car. Does anyone know how to do this? I have removed the plastic screws around the bottom of the bumper, but can find no easy way to release the top half. Please help!

    3rd Gear Grind

    I bet you would get a lot of hits if you wrote a How To on epoxying the rear motor mount, I know I would personally like to see how it is done.

    Wire An Aftermarket Subwoofer To BOSE Or Stock MS3 Stereo

    I wonder if the plugs are different on the back of the 08-09 bose 3's, or if they havent updated the item since 07.

    3rd Gear Grind

    Thanks for the heads up. We do have a track near here, but they have been undergoing new management. Last time I drove out there they had closed it for remodel, and last I checked they still hadn't reopened it to Time Only's again yet. I am going to wait until my next paycheck before I perform...

    3rd Gear Grind

    Thanks for the reply ericrapp. How difficult was the rmm and passenger mm to replace? The guy in the manual Z28 camaro was being a deusch(dance), he drove at twenty mph until I tried to pass on the 2 lane road when he rhomped on it. I was ready, so we both got some great wheelspin (drive2). I...

    3rd Gear Grind

    Obviously I am letting off the throttle for the shift. Engine never goes over redline during entire run. Full throttle to top of first, release, full throttle to top of second, release, full throttle to top of third..... I would imagine it is the engine rocking on its mounts when I release the...

    3rd Gear Grind

    I have a 2008 MS3. Under wide open throttle (WOT) the shift from 2nd to 3rd just under redline will not fully seat into 3rd gear and grinds really badly. This happens almost 50% of the time, and is very frustrating when I am trying to rape a Z28 for a second time and miss the shift. I have been...

    Wire An Aftermarket Subwoofer To BOSE Or Stock MS3 Stereo

    I bolted the grounding wire to a bolt under the spare tire, great connection there. As for the remote turn on wire lead, I connected it to the back of the cigarette lighter, which is only active when the ignition is on. I also ran that to a switch, then to the amp, so that I can turn the amp off...

    Wire An Aftermarket Subwoofer To BOSE Or Stock MS3 Stereo

    That is a good question, and one I also attempted to research before doing my installation. Here is what I found: Due to the BOSE sub under the passenger seat actually being very little in size, many people think that the frequency range might not actually be as low as you might get from the...

    Wire An Aftermarket Subwoofer To BOSE Or Stock MS3 Stereo

    What amp are you using? I have a Rockford Fosgate 300s wired in this way and the signal comes out clear as can be. I do believe it has a noise filter on it though, and comes with its own volume control which I find handy when I want to keep the car speakers at the same level but vary only the...
