Hello all. Names Josh, and i just moved to the springs from sunny florida. (i'm military) I have an 08.5 Speed3 with light mods. AP, TWM STS, Blox shift knob, Cobb SRI, Cobb XLE by-pass valve. next on the list for me is turbo back exhaust and fuel pump internals.

Welcome to the club

Where'd you come from in Florida? IIRC, we've got another member down in the Springs that's also military that came from FL. Welcome! Nice Speed!

I was up in the panhandle, in ft. Walton. And thanks, she is so dirty right now. Lol.

Welcome! Another FL mover. I'm originally from P'cola FL (Grew up rest of my jr HS/HS yr); but lived/resided in the FT laud area.

How are the dealerships around here? Are they mod friendly?

boosted12a is who I was thinking of.

not sure where he was in Fl though.

I used to live not far from there. I was in Tallahassee for 4 years before moving back out here (born here, moved there in 03, came back in 07). God I hated Tallahassee. It was the absolute worst.

If you want a good cleaning for your Speed, I would highly recommend getting Michael Bergen to do it at his place up near Denver called The Man Cave if you've got the time. I had them take care of my Legacy yesterday and this is the best it's looked in the 8 months I got it. I believe Mike has an account here on the cmzc forums as he has an FD that's sitting off in the corner at his business because he feels like it "doesn't belong" with the other cars in there (F430 Scuderia, Audi R8 V10 Spyder, a couple 50s Bel Airs, like 4 different Corvettes at least to name a few). They did a superb job!

How much does he charge? I need to get my wife's car detailed too.

here are a couple pics of my speed

Welcome! Mike B is a member on here too but he hardly ever gets on I think haha. Reaching him by phone is the easiest.

There are several of us in the Springs that are military. Imagine that. LOL What branch? I'm AF.

Welcome. Nice to see another 3 owner. Seems like the Springs has been a haven for 7s lately.

I live about 35 minutes north of the springs. When you switch that exhaust out, let me know. A MS exhaust on my MZ3 seems to be a good move.

As far as tire shops, I usually just get my tires at discount tire. They do fine with mounting and balancing. I don't think that any of them do alignments though.

Welcome to the club! You need to sell that and get a 7 lol JK!! Nice MS3

LOL did you like mine, bro?

Mortose, if you have ability to come up to Denver/Aurora, I can help you with tires. I just did a set on another club MS3 last week (Scribz). Give me a call or shoot me a text 720-233-5913 and we'll talk more. And I do alignments

Welcome to the club!

thank you all for the welcomes. Shadow, i'll keep you in mind once i do the swap. I'm AF, on pete. Aurora, i'll keep you in mind. it might be a month or so before i am totally set. I move into my house on the 7th.

BTW, The altitude KILLED my speed. she pulled SO much harder back in FL. lol.

I'm not sure if there is something one of the guys that are more familiar with electronics can recommend for you as far as a re-tune for altitude.
