    the RX-8 and Miata look just fine with that front style, because they're sportier cars, but the execution on the 3 and Speed3 just doesn't do it for me... I completely agree.

          Is that the V2? You're lucky, I am still sporting the V1 that rubs on the frame

            Looking good. LIke how its coming,

            WE have a local seller with a side brand of KW's with rebate its like 850. instead of 1500 for coilovers. or we have a guy here selling his KW setup so he can get BC to stay uber low.

            Keep up the work. YEah the GEN 2 are fugly, but we had a dyno day this past weekend, less mods, and putting down more HP and tq. on a dynapack dyno.

            Like to see mor epics. keep it going

              Update: We got it installed along with the new catch can last night. Boy was that fun.. And Lex, its the V1 kit again, but this time its powder coated. lol We took an old coupler and cut it up and zip tied it on the pipe where it rubs in areas. As soon as he left my house the coupler on the turbo blew off cause we forgot to tighten it..

              More pictures when I decide to go somewhere with Wifi and upload them. lol

                Thanks for the positive comments guys! Unfortunately it is the v1 kit again, I wish I could get a v2 kit, but that will have to wait. After popping the coupler last night and again today (we clamped it over the lip last night, not beneath the lip so that it wouldn't slide off... oi.) I'm a little reluctant to get on it until everything is for sure ironed out xD I did give it two WOT pulls once we re-clamped it AGAIN, and it felt just fine, so hopefully we have no more issues. That's what fatigue does folks! xD

                    Thanks, it's certainly a fun car, but sometimes it's a hassle, working on it especially, lol.

                      Much easier to work on a BG - especially since the turbo is in the front

                      My MS3 is fully bolted already ... I guess the next step is a bigger turbo if I want to go that route. At 300whp and more torque than that already I just wish it was AWD.

                              If you look at the 6th picture down from Ace's first post, there's a covered hole in the plastic up around the hood latch that's covered... we popped out the cover and revealed an area for air to pass through... why this was covered idk, but now I have a minuscule amount of more airflow!
