wait! isn't your car auto? How skilled do you have to be to step on the gas and watch the rpms go up and then shift for you? You said playing cat & mouse, like going thru traffic? well if you car was empty and the mx-6 full, then I guess that makes sense... but a kl-de should be able to take you anytime w/o fat a-- girlfriends :lol: .

yes, my car is auto,,and yes, i have mastered how to use the HOLD button..which is a freaking godsend with this transmission!!...and yes, there was some good sized people in the car.lol..but yea i dont really understand how he wasnt keeping up, but he was trying, because the first thing i asked him after i stopped laughin was if he only had the 4 banger, which woulda made alot more sense,,but nope..klde,,and dont forget my car is lowered with front sway bar and 17's...i am able to weave without lettin off the gas,where he was not able to do that..all i can say is there are 4 more people in the world that are now goin to look at the mx3 with a whole new perspective :lol:

TIP OF THE DAY - dont trust the color of the lid when buying paint.

i just did the body work today, nothing too extensive just fixed the rust spots on both rear wheel wells...the lid of the spray paint matched the car perfectly, so i trusted it,,wasnt till after i sprayed the car that i realized it was off..oh well, will be a minor fix when i can get the right color..i painted the wiper arm too..it seemed to match alright, mind you i wasnt as heavy with the coats..im gona see if a wetsand/buff will make the paint match but i dont think it will be perfect by no means...

the wiper arm color looks decent but where's your other one? I'm hoping you don't say "I took it off on purpose" :shock:

ya it was the toughest mod ive ever done :roll:
i honestly like how it looks, i was givin the wiper blade for free cus the 2 that were on the car were crap..BUT, after seeing how the wiper arm looks painted,,i might go out and splurge and buy another blade...but i still like how it looks now,,but yea, it isnt very cool on the highway in the rain...still gona paint the rear wiper arm too though.

Did you get into the cam, somehow, so that it goes all the way across? If so, I'm going to do it. If not, I'll see if I can do that, so it goes from left bottom, to right bottom.

It looks like it's stuck up there.
Some time, I'll look at the cam mechanism, and see what it would take to do this mod. However, even done right, there would be a triangular area that would not get wiped.

Off topic:
