MTuning's Speed3 - now with more bling

[MTuning]

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.


first day that they both met




Day One

and the mods begin

Cobb RSB


HIDs 8000k


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


Cobb SRI, YAY after months of back order lol and Turbo XS Hybrid bpv.


Something to make my Speed3 stand out.



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.


and a random pic

Down the line i just want some coilovers, tint and finish the bolt ons so i have a nice little DD.

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

[Vr-4-Life]

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

[garrettej8]

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

the inlet is at the top of the front grill.

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

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.

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

Nice car, loose the sticker =)

[Spoolin_VQ30DE]

[94integra]

Cant wait for pics with the slips.

[garrettej8]

I'll probably go with 25%

what's up man? a few more toys since you last saw it lol i put the FDs on and the wheel gap was more than my fist. i'm hoping by next winter it'll be dropped so i can use these bad boys.

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]

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]

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]

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]

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.
