What have you done to your MSP today?

[TheDirtyGoatee]

I can see it now at the dealership back in late '02

Salesman: How can I help you?
Unsuspecting buyer: Yes I am here to look at an MSP.
SM: Ahhh, sit down right here.
UB: So what comes with it.
SM: *shows list*
UB: And what options are available to add on?
SM: Umm.... options? What do you mean by "options?"
UB: Sunroof, CC, etc.
SM: You see this is a high performance vehicle. Would you ask Ferrari to put A/C and a radio into an Enzo? I didn't think so.
UB: So I get an engine block than can't handle a lot of boost, a radio that will break eventually before the year is up, swaybar bushings that can't last a season, and a paint color that's impossible to match (only in Spicy Orange).... sign me up!

UB: *has keys and looking at the paperwork* Wait... this thing sucks premium?
SM: *slams showroom door and locks* Sorry.... no refunds...

you forgot a differential that will spontaneously snap and leave you stranded.

 

[TheDirtyGoatee]

DAMMIT!!! I knew something was amiss... thank you sir.

EDIT:

UB: *Goes down the road about 2 miles* What the hell? *LSD breaks* *Dials Mazda's number*
"We're sorry, all circuits are busy please don't ever call us back because we won't help you."

no no no.. you got it all wrong.. 2 miles down the road.. GRIND CHRUNCH CHRUNCH.. lsd breaks.. dial mazda.. we are sorry, it has after market spark plugs, that voided your warranty

we can fix it but it'll be cheap, then youll be back in a week due to something we screwed up on and make you pay for it... but as long as we smile it's ok... oh and we noticed one of your center caps on your wheel is missing, we went ahead and replaced it for 60 dollars and parts and 100 dollars in labor, we had to remove the wheel and rebalance it.... oh and have a nice day.

My WGA broke this weekend and I didn't have a boost gauge... And I was 300miles from home...

I'm gonna wonder for a long time how I didn't go zoom-zoom-boom. Butt-dyno for the save!

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

as long as you avoided staying out of boost there's no reason to worry.

um.... avoided boost, or stayed out of boost... not avoided staying out of boost. lol that would be impressive though.

That's the thing, though. I WASN'T staying out of the boost at first. All I knew was the car got faster all of a sudden. It was only when the CEL came on (P0171) and I did some research did I figure out what happenend...

 

[Outlawstar98]

Blow it up gives you a good reason for a big build! ahahaha

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

ah, i gotcha i did the same when mine went too....and then the tech ragged on it too and I told him "It shouldnt be this fast!" LOL!

When do our cars begin making boost in stock setup? I've always wondered this.

 

[GiJoe]

mine spooled around 3600 RPM i think with the injen CAI.

when you swap out the stock setup for something that makes an appreciable amount of boost. lol

 

[GiJoe]

that too lol

Haha, I've already done a big build on a 3rd Gen Protege, I learned my lesson the first time!

Yeah, I was laughing with my friend at the fact its probably the only time in my life where something would break on my car and it would actually go FASTER...

 

[protegerider]
