I'm getting tint on Tuesday, and a few other decals and clear bra in the next few weeks... actual performance.. probably not before NOPI.. I have way to many things coming up in the next couple months. Including a trip to Chicago the week before NOPI and my plates are due the week after NOPI.. Tint is my number 1 thing right now, I can't stand people being able to just look in my car, and the crystal clear windows.

I feel the same way about non tinted cars.

stick of course!! lol I could never go back to an auto car, that drove me nuts not having the ability to shift on my own.


Could be an interesting year up at Bandi though, been a couple years since I have raced a manual trans.

I'm getting just about the same mileage in my Speed6 I was getting in my 6S, but the tank is smaller so I have to fill up more often. Oh, and it's premium instead of 87. :(

I have tested it on our car. We "should" be able to run 85 in them d/t our altitude. I have found that throttle response (subjective) and overall mileage (approx 1-3mpg) is down with the 85 vs 87. Premium actually makes it run kinda crappy too.... go figure!

87 FTW on NA 3s!!!!


Btw- I had the same experience on both of my rides- since the 3 and 5 are the same car.

Jen puts 85 in the CX-9 every other fill-up, with 87 the rest of the time. I don't notice a difference. But I never put anything less than 87 in the old 6, and of course 91 in the MS6.
