Took my ms3 to willow springs today and she crapped out on the first hot lap. Turbos and track just don’t mix. Ima cut my losses and just let her go. She only had 115k miles, temps never got over 210 before it let go today , no smoke no warning no nothing.
I’m thinking about listing my ms3 for sale soon. I love the car but the back seat is a little too crammed for a baby seat. Y’all think it’s worth going through the hassle of turning it back to stock or just sell it as is with all the mods?
I’m curious on how much of a pain in the ass these cars turn into when you go all out and turn them into dedicated time attack cars. Do you we have anyone with experience here?
My last “real” track car.
Suuuuup everybody! I bought a 2008 ms3 a few weeks ago. I’m planning on using it a daily but I’ll also be tracking it. Do we have any other California track guys here?
here’s some of the mods it came with.
Kw v3’s
Front/rear hotchkis sway bars
Cobb ap
Church dyno tune
Rb cat-back

I took my new to me 2008 ms3 to willow springs last Sunday for a little fun. The car handled much better than I expected but I couldn’t keep the coolant temps in check. It ranged from 210-231*. I only took it out on the first session of the day, it was only 85* when I was on track.
I’m thinking...
