hey thank you guys for the info.

hey Draconius, can you send pictures of your clear coat bra? is it easy to see?

 

I'll try to get pictures tomorrow. I have to wash my car. But you really can't see it unless you are looking for it. It covers from about 8-10" back on the hood all the way to the bottom of the front lip

 

I just bought blitz turbo timer with boost gauge. what do u guys think? I love the car for the get-up-and-go personality cause it's compact, butit kinda hinders that experience because u have to let the turbo cool down by lettin it on idlefor 30 sec toa minute so u couldnt just leave once u get to your destination. that's why i got the turbo timer. and a plus to that is it has a built in boost gause but it's in hkpa (japa spec) as supposed to psi (english system). butI think i'll get used to it very fast. I looked up the formula to convert it from one to another. After all a measurement is a measurement. I just want to see how much I'm workin the turbo and if I add mods I want to see an objective result. Also, I ordered engine mount. Do you guys really think it'll reduce the wheel hop? I hope so. I'll keep you guys post with the installation.

 

mikems3 do you still want the HKS blowoff valve for 125?

Yep i emailed you back this morning.

 

FYI -
The body facia/trim aroundthe Speed3 seems to be very "plasticy". I have been catching alot of sand/gravel with my tires and spinning it into the wheel wells where it crackles & knocks around, making a very plasticy sound... I recently bought 2 spray cans of3M Rubberized Undercoating and pulled off each wheel -- sprayed the underside of the plastic body parts -- and it has quieted down nicely. I don't know if this has bothered any of you - but you may want to consider sprayingrubberized undercoating on you Speed3. It makes the car sound like a higher quality sedan... You could do the whole job with one 20 oz. can -- but it tends to clog, so I used 2 cans. Good Luck.

 

Hey mica black that sounds like a really good and most likely cheap thing to do. Never thought of it. Spanx.

 

Damn...looks like I might have my project for this weekend.

Thanks!
