What have you done to your MS3 today?

[Domino81]

Polished with 3M Perfect-It! and waxed with Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax.

It started to sprinkle here with the wax still on the car. Only rain all afternoon. ******* northeast.

Lemme just say how appreciative I am of a good wax job....

So I did it on Saturday, and this morning I did my normal routine and went to wawa for my cup'o'jo. Well, I normally set it on the roof as I grab the keys from my pocket. But this tiime, after I set it down, it actually started to slide

I was hard pressed to find a flat enough spot (damn near center) so I could get in the car.

Its just too bad I can't put a static charge on the car that would prevent pollen from grabbing hold

 

[Domino81]

I've been appreciating mine ever since, too... except it's attracting a lot of pollen.

Need to give her a bath but I'm too busy today with tests.

World Challenge driver spent some time at my house this weekend. Went go karting with him and ended up beating him. Winning!

 

[bbrich57]

Ya' lost me on that one. What World Challenge driver?

 

[ericrapp]

I need to wash and wax my car, but I need to have a big block of time because the roof rack and roof rails need to come off (have you guys ever looked under there? Yuk! Then it's going to get clay barred, polished and waxed. Did this to my wifes car and could not baleeb the results. Now, when I need to wash her car, I just spray it off, then dry.

Drove from NE Ohio to SE Virginia, hitting up the Blue Ridge Parkway along the way:

Spending the week on the beach, then off to VIR for the Grand-Am race this weekend!

 

[Jon MS3]

good choice! when you get home check out the Top Gear UK episode where the guys drove the blue ridge parkway, and raced at VIR

 

[lyonsroar]

bought a jBarone SSP for $50. Bargain

 

[H3br3w_Ham3r]

Been having problems catching third when shifting from 2nd to 3rd quickly..... any suggestions?

 

[oaklandopen]

^^^Any upgraded mounts or shifter parts yet?

Mounts ? Switch to Amsoil Sythetic manual trans fluid ?

 

[H3br3w_Ham3r]

^^^Any upgraded mounts or shifter parts yet?

I have a rear motor mount, short throw, and bushings..... I do have to take it out for my class so I don't get protested. I think its probably the tranny fluid since I havent changed it since I bought the car. Only 28k but I do drive it hard at times (track and auto x).

 

[oaklandopen]

Think maybe your tranny's blocker rings are starting to wear flat on the teeth? I could see that happening if most of your autox shifting is from 2-3. Hard shifts are going to flatten those points out eventually

 

[H3br3w_Ham3r]

Well I only use 2nd gear auto crossing so its not from that. I think it might just be the fluid and me trying to shift too fast.

 

[lyonsroar]

Couple of vids of my car drying itself with the FK1000p High Temp Wax. Really good stuff for $15!

 

[boosted1]

I guess it is 'what have I done for my MS3?'. I ordered a CorkSport 'Power Series' CBE today.

 

[Domino81]

I almost ended up with one of those. But I ******* refused to pay the shipping. Which is why I wound up with my Magnaflow.

Poop.
