Default Sho's 2007 MS3 project

Picked up a 2007 Sunlight Silver MS3 GT August 3rd, 2012 after putting 217k miles on my '98 Saturn SL.

I'll be updating this thread as I do things with the car, and hopefully it'll be on the road for a long time!

Also a big shout out to NATOR OH, the guys here have helped me a ton with this car, and I couldn't be more grateful for their help!

FMIC install


Everything connected and TMIC ducting removed from hood


Jakey and V trimming my bumper as the piping was hitting some portions and not allowing the bumper to go back on the car


It fits!

Crazy routing for the piping


Hot and cold pipes so close, we took a silicone coupler and cut it and taped it to the hot pipe to keep it from rubbing on the cold pip/bpv flange


Bumper back on...stealth black core
