    What parameters are most important?

    Yes it is indeed Torque App that is pre-loaded into radio. I'll have him look if any kind of fuel trim monitoring is available. This isn't so much for logs but rather check in and make sure everything is behaving as it should. He just texted me this pic: ***EDIT*** Found the LTFT gauge and...

    Thanks for chiming in. Top 6 are now: Coolant Temp Actual AFR Boost/Manifold Air Temp Fuel Pressure, Vacuum/Boost Intake Air Temp I'll see if he can give me a list of what can actually be monitored which might make this a bit easier.

    What parameters are most important?

    My son bought an OBDII bluetooth dongle that can connect to the radio and display real time info on whichever sensors are available to OBD. You can have up to six parameters displayed and was wondering which ones would be best to be displayed. My top six are coolant temp, vacuum/boost, AFR...

    Transmission Fluid

    @JohnnyTightlips I'll keep that in mind next time we swap it out, I think I ended up with the LS version because it was what was available on Amazon at the time but if it won't hurt any then I'll just wait for the next change and maybe get the plain jane version. Don't see recommended change...

    What did you do to your ride today

    Finished up the amp and capacitor install today as well as back up camera. I know, not needed with a car this size but the radio already has the plug-in for backup camera and the camera that we bought for $25 is incorporated into the license plate illumination lens which made for a clean...

    What did you do to your ride today

    Kiddo got car back from body shop today. It was in to paint front and rear bumpers and install the Bayson R grille he had purchased. He wasn't expecting to see the big mouth scoop or the BaysonR front lip that I had purchased and dropped off at body shop without him knowing. Lets just say his...

    Best Engine Oil - All Mod Levels

    So I in fact searched just this thread for Liquid Moly and came back "no results". Wondering if anyone has ventured into using this oil on their MS3? Whenever the first oil change comes around I'll be using Liquid Moly Special TEC AA 5w30. It shows API SP so it would meet the Mazda...

    What did you do to your ride today

    Me and the boy finished building enclosure for Amp and capacitor. This will go in the trunk passenger side once we get the car back from the body shop. Still have to figure out how to fix it in place but need the car for that. Big thanks to @BAT-man for selling us the equipment especially the...

    Best sized spacers for stock wheels

    I know rule of thumb is anything over 5mm you either need longer studs or longer bolts depending on application. He sent me a link to these: Amazon is confirming fitment on a 11 MS3. Pattern and bore are correct. I think these would work...I think. EDIT: Just noticed those are 20mm but...

    Best sized spacers for stock wheels

    Until kid has money for wheels we have been trying to figure out best spacers to bring stock wheels as flush as possible with fenders. Stock wheels on stock ride height on 2011. From researching and some YouTubers it seems you can go with 25mm spacers at all 4 corners with no issues or fender...

    What did you do to your ride today

    I’m guessing a good Teflon lubricant? I’ll search around to figure out what part(s) I need to remove from the console to get to it. Ok did some searching and looks easy enough. Seems you just pry off the cupholder area and then the shifter console piece and I should have access to the pivot...
