Yeah apparently. As soon as I passed 3500 RPM in 2nd my wheels started spinning and I was nowhere near WOT.

Good dry traction though, can't complain there, same with snow. But for some reason accelerating in rain is like trying to accelerate on ice. Least stopping is good.

[StevenPThomas]

Yeah I used to have bad traction till I got my nitto motivo tires.

Installed stop tech SS brake lines and did a clutch bleed full fluid flush over to ate typ 200, so much better clutch is feel bang on and braking as a wonderful bite! I'd definitely recommend the brake lines to anyone

Put in a damond ssp feels great, especially after dropping in damond trilogy mounts.

Swapped my HID fogs to LEDs, going to swap my HID headlights for LEDs as well soon, too.

LEDs -> D2S HIDs -> incandescents



Old D2S conversion plate.





Done!



My headlights are the only non-LEDs, I have LEDs in my high beams, front/rear signals, reverse lights, brake lights, fender signals, airbag light, cigarette lighter ring, ash tray light, map lights, licence plate lights, over head lights, and trunk light. Is there any other incandescent bulb I'm missing?

Looks nice.

Why would you put it in a bucket of degreaser? Was it really that bad?

Installed shift extender 3.5" bent with modify Street 450 oz ball shift knob! Smooth shifting!

[g00s3y]

Made the driving experience even better.

[StevenPThomas]

How do you like the wheel?

I was planning to install my injector seals this past weekend but I decided to send my injectors off to get cleaned since I have 100k on them.

No shift boot, have the plastic shifter surround from a '12 mz3, because I wanted all interior to be flat black oem. The ms3 shift boot and plastic piece that holds it on didn't fit on the mz3 shifter surround.

I've got 73k, i want to get them cleaned, but I really don't want anymore downtime right now.

I just ordered the all black shift surround for the MS3 for $162. Today I started a refinish project. It's going to take a while.

Are you running an HTP 3" intake? If so, do you mine sharing the Amsoil filter part number?

[Tifosi42]

Replaced my Denso ITV 22 spark plugs after 10k miles (25k miles on the car now) with the 6510 NGKs gapped down to 0.026. I replaced them because I was getting some hesitation from the car when the engine was still cold under light load when pulling out onto main road by my house on my way to work in the morning. I actually had this problem 5k miles ago with the Denso plugs, cleaning them up got me another 5k miles, but time since it happened again I decided to just got with the more recommended plug for the platform.

I also cleaned my MAF sensor, emptied catch can and checked tightness in all my couplers because I am always paranoid of leaks since I was in there.

[PapaBruno]

Been watching some new MS3 owners on the YouTubes so thought I would make a cleaner sounding cold start, idle, and rev video to provide folks with a sample of what the Ultimate Racing setup sounds like, and to test out PowerDirector since I paid for it a few months back and haven't had a chance to tinker around with it.
