    Blown axle or LSD???

    So, something went bang yesterday when I launched on my final run of the day. I chalked it up to things possibly moving around despite the mounts (CS TMM insert, DM PMM, CPE Stg 2 RMM).

    Denso Iridium ITV20TT spark plugs

    While changing plugs back to NGK's I was shocked to see the tips of the Denso ITV20TT plugs when removed. One had the iridium electrode almost completely gone and a .042" gap. The other three had the electrodes in place but the iridium tip fell off when placed on my toolbox. I haven't checked...

    2016 ENM/MDC photos

    I suck, I have nothing from the events or driving mostly just scenic stuff from exploring around. I was perusing Youtube looking for uploads from the event and found some guy in a 235i trying to chase after a black Pu from Thursday/Friday. Who might the Pu be? Some of the KCK/KCMO NATOR folks...

    How many posts per page y'all wanna see?

    Are there additional thread display setting available? Specifically are there options to change the number of posts per page when viewing. Pulled from another forum likely using an older version of VBulletin (version 3.8.6) but you get the idea.

    From my how to thread on the other forum... Here's a quick how-to to replace nearly all of the power steering fluid on Gen2 MS3.

    HPFP O-rings

    I can't take credit for pulling the basic part number list together but I did measure a few and make sure our friends at McMaster-Carr had standard Buna-N and Viton versions available. From my post on the other forum.... Links take you to McMaster-Carr HPFP housing ID = 32mm T = 2mm Buna-N...

    [SOLVED] Allow hiding sections not read?

    Curious, is there functionality available in the future to hide sections that one doesn't normally read/participate in? For instance I don't normally frequent the MSM/Miata, MS Protege, CX7 and Ford EB sections.
