mods are worth it tho. :D

Lol my fully rating is mostly highway like yours, I had been doing a ton of highway driving since getting the car. City average appears to be 12 - 13/100 km, with that 4km one way 100% city driving I was talking about (based on my last fill up). It is actually quite close to the mileage of my old 07 Mazda 3, not surprising since both are 2.3L engines and I try to keep out of boost until it's warmed up.

Yeah for mods, at least an SRI, possibly Cobb or CorkSport, or Simota to lean out the A/F mixture a bit. Just smelled the oil on my dipstick, fresh oilchange last week...I can smell a bit of fuel in there thanks to DI fuel dilution.

That's still really good for city. I seem to usually get anywhere from 13.5-15L per 100 km all city. This is with only the Fujita CAI and the CPe FMIC.

I should input all my gas mileage information into fuelly and see where I'm sitting at. I collected it for 10 fuel ups but then gave up because it made me want to cry...

Oh, yeah, I'm now in the market for struts or coilovers... Wife gave me the nod of approval yesterday! So now I need to do some research....

I'm currently sitting at 10.4, almost all of it highway driving because of the crazy trips I did around the holidays. I have zero mods so far, and I'm probably closer to 525km per tank. For you guys running first gen MS3, your tank is 55L, no? The 2010 is 60L, so I think that sort of helps a bit with spreading out the fill-ups.

Alas, when we finally guy our own house/hobby farm, and have a garage, the MS3 will be a summer only car. The mods will then go on, and we'll have some real fun. I will also get to search for an older 4-dr 4x4 pickup truck with a plow blade. Sweet.

but how did it taste??

Light hint of floral scents reminiscent of lavender and rose, with a raspberry aftertaste and chocolate overtones

My CPE RMM came in after having its bushing replaced (apparently CPE had a bad batch of bushings and this one was one of them). I originally had the 60 durometer (stamped 65a on the bushing), which cracked. The new bushing says 75a. Blessing in disguise, or just the type of durometer that a MS3 needs?

i'm curious to see the end result of whatever mad scientist shit you're cooking up...

Teambuy $28 for all you can drive @ GP Kartway (Downsview Airport)

Expires Apr 30...you guys interested?

http://www.teambuy.ca/

No, this is not a link to MAKE ME $. it's the general link...

I'm down for that.

I would also be down. The owner of the outdoor paintball field there, also owns my team, so if you guys decide that in the summer you'd like to do something like that, I could hook it up.

I'd be in for that too.

As for paintball, I prefer airsoft. Lest kidiots. But that's a whole other conversation.

Today's is last day to get the vouchers. I'll likely get a couple. Then we will do another roll call and setup a time.

So we doing the voucher thing for sure for sure?

I just bought a pass for me and a pass for my friend. Whether you guys go or not, that's a great deal so I'll be going. Is that ticket a one use thing, or is it for unlimited days until the 30th of April?
