I figured ill start one since the Integra had an intro. This is my Speed3 :)

I bought it new, 06/2008. Cosmic Blue Mica. Minor mods so far. I am trying to keep this a DD while building another project. Enough rambling, here are some pics.

Weapon R ETD. TRZ transmission mount but didn't get any pics. Awesome combo since the MS3 is lacking in this area.

One of the first vent pods made for the Speed3 + Defi Racer gauge.

Set of Slips. Summer wheels. soon to be painted flat black and washed when it gets warmer out.

I like it man. I wonder how the flat black slips would look though....

Vr-4-Life 12-27-2008 03:49 AM

that car has a TMIC and no inlet on the hood?

garrettej8 12-27-2008 10:14 AM

I'm interested in seeing the slipstreams on too..

did you notice a big difference with the cobb rear sway? I might get one, I'd like to focus on the handling of my car than power

yea this would definitely help from the factory. supposedly the next MS3's getting a hood scoop. I'm going FMIC anyway :-p

I want to get some tint before i put the Slips on and i think they'll give it a good look. Maybe a drop. Just alittle bit different.

I highly recommend the RSB to anyone. its my only suspension mod and you can feel the better steering response. Mine's on the stiffest setting too.

oneslowxa 12-27-2008 12:12 PM

the speeds have a cowls in the grilles and underneath the hood that directs airflow over the top mount...

Nice car, loose the sticker =)

JDMTyler3326 12-27-2008 07:23 PM

Spoolin_VQ30DE 12-28-2008 01:08 AM

94integra 12-28-2008 03:37 AM

Cant wait for pics with the slips.

garrettej8 12-28-2008 12:08 PM

i think black ms3 with tint is absolutely gorgeous. makes me question the blue mica sometimes. you doing all windows minus windshield? i was looking on SOG's gallery and there were a couple ms3. i'm thinking 30% is enough for me.

garrettej8 12-28-2008 04:56 PM

yeah I'm doing all windows minus windshield. it should look good whenever I can get the dents fixed on my car. I got a dent on the a-pillar and one little one on the fender. I don't know where they came from. also I have some scratches from a bird on the hood.

MTuning 12-28-2008 05:11 PM

i cringed the whole time i read that sentence lol. i have a couple small gash at the side of the bottom from ice, handful of rock chips, fine scratches in the rear quarter (which the vinyl covers mostly, thank god), oh and some lady ran into me at a RED light that punched a little hole in the rear bumper which i didn't notice til i got home since it was at night.

i can't beat scratches from a bird though haha the paint is FRAGILE.

garrettej8 12-28-2008 06:06 PM

exactly, the paint sucks. it had to have been a bird though, probably a seagull from where I park at work. it blows.

C-bass 12-28-2008 07:16 PM

i got 20% on my MS3 and i LOVE it... sometimes i wanna go darker but 20 is plenty. if you look at their MS3's i got the yellow headlight film. so you can check out what it looks like with 20.

SOG ftw. they do work. and they do it quick.

EDIT:: i like the car btw. im torn on that sticker tho.

i am torn between 30% and 20% right now. i dont know if i want to get hassled, even though the MS3 is pretty low key. how are your lights at night? no attention from cops? yeah like i said, i was unsure about the sticker at first but i'm definitely keeping it on.
