    Tired of my car already...

    I thought my speed 3 was the most fun with an intake, test pipe, hpfp, and e33 mix pro tune. I also had a tmic but I dont think that really did anything for me on e33. It feels pretty damn fast on the hit. 200 whp at 3k rpm is preeeeety decent. I also had a lot of fun meeting local speed guys...

    A Build? Nah Just a Daily FiST

    I remember riding around in my speed3 when I first got it. I thought it was a pretty quick car, and felt tossable and small just like my 2.0 MZ3. Fiesta must be a riot at 210+ whp, almost the same hp as a stock speed, more torque, lighter car. Sucks about the hit and run. They're going to...

    My Ongoing Mid-Life Crisis

    can't swallow $20k for a C5 but it sure is nice https://www.hodgesmazda.com/used/Chevrolet/2004-Chevrolet-Corvette-34f265f30a0e0a17425a26363b46eaf3.htm

    New Project and First Motorcycle

    I noticed the squirm the most when taking decently sharp turns at a pretty slow speed. So like left turns onto streets. And it was when i wasnt trying to be aggressive at all. It isnt a perfect test but you can drop youe hands off the bars and see if the bike goes straight on a flat road. If...

    New Project and First Motorcycle

    Post a pic of the tire when you get a sec, like up close directly behind/above it. Do you have a rear stand? Get it up off the back wheel and check for side to side play on the wheel and where the swingarm connects to the frame. Did you put the axle and wheel back on yourself? Double check...

    Best Engine Oil - All Mod Levels

    Sorry I dont have an analysis to add but I think its worth mentioning dexos 1 gen 2 cert seems to correlate with lower ca and na. The dexos 1 gen 2 was rolled out towards the end of 2017, and pennzoil dropped ca from 2200+ to <1000 so it seems to meet this. I plan to have this d1g2 5w30 pennz...

    Low Compression after Injectors Cleaned and Reinstalled

    I talk to you on Reddit sometimes, this thread had me nervous. How much flow imbalance was between the injectors? Glad you have it sorted. Can you throw a log up sometime?

    My speed was bolt ons. Stock downpipe, test pipe, intake. Also had a tmic and cbe but they didnt do much, especially on e33 fuel mix. ~6 is a good expectation for most weather and fuels. I clocked 5.7 in ideal conditions If you ran a catless dp and a 3 bar map sensor to run a little more...

    Possible Wheels Opinions/Suggestions wanted

    Ampliform hypergram and dekagram have 18x8.5 +45 if you like those styles. Those should look pretty flush, and it should never rub. Vash posted a wheel fitment thread on here somewhere you can try to look through If Anthony got 18x8.75 +33 to work then 18x8 +35 should fit I would think...

    Possible Wheels Opinions/Suggestions wanted

    Flow formed is typically better than low pressure, each are typically better than regular gravity cast The oversteers are not part of the flow formed line. Idk what method they use. But I agree they look cool. https://konigwheels.com/wheels/flow-formed-wheels/

    Possible Wheels Opinions/Suggestions wanted

    Konig has a flow formed line that uses the same processs as some enkis like rpf1. Those are worth looking at. Sparco wheels are made by OZ I think, but they do gravity casting. Idk what the enkis you linked and the motegis are.

    Possible Wheels Opinions/Suggestions wanted

    I run 235/40/18 on 18x8.5 +42 on my pu. they don't rub on my stock suspension. No fender rolling. Since your wheels are 8" and you're staying 225, you can probably get away with what you're looking at without a roll for a while. Might need one in the rear if you lower it. Ive done auto x, tail...

    Best all seasons for straight line grip?

    They're holding 3rd gear pretty well on the 93 tune in 70* weather. I would guess this makes probably 320whp/330wtq. The Kumho Solus TA71 that came on the car would not hold this.

    The newer 3s

    I like the design of the new 3 except the hatch C pillar. My only other grips are you can't get the 2.5t at all, and you can't get the manual with awd. It seems like if they want to compete with VW/Audi or the entry level luxury brands, they're going to need the 2.5t as an option. You can get a...
