What have you done to your MSP today?

I'd check your CV Joints & tie rod ends. Wheel bearings typically make noise all the time, not just in a turn. And typically, if it's your passenger wheel, when you turn to the right, the noise will go away because load is placed on the outside wheel during a turn. And the inside wheel gets most of the load taken off of it, so the bearing grinding will go away.

It does make noise all the time, but it's worse in turns. If I drive next to something to reflect the sound off I can hear it so I know it's the pass side. I'm changing all 4 brakes out so I will look at it today.
well just picked up some used Pirelli P Zero tires for the rx8 rims...

these tires come stock on lambo's...

And Mustangs! HAHAHA, (mj)
 
my hot pipe goes under the frame rail... it pulled the T-bolt off of the coupler on part of the connection right there. the pipe is a lil flattened too, but no big deal, should be able to put it all back with a lil monkeying around.
 
Ahh that's right I remember reading your FMIC how to. That's the only thing I didn't like was the hot pipe routing. Though I guess it's only a factor if you're lowered.
 
yeah, I'm not a huge fan of it either, it was the easiest, and I planned on redoing it, but up until now (and me being pretty stupid) it hasn't been a problem.
 
went to get the rx8 rims, got there and they were curbed more than i'd hoped for.

however for $200 they came back with me anyways lol....faces are in great condition however.

I know I should post this in the perfomorance section but figured get more replys here quicker lol. Is anyone running the Perrin J-Pipe back exhaust I'm trying to order exhaust and like the clean look of the muffler vs a big muffler like the Vibrant even though it's my other choice. If goin with the Perrin will be ordering a Corksport downpipe as well.
 
$200 for the rx8 rims... ya i woulda snatched them up too. !

the CS downpipe is now all one piece so if you buy a Jpipe back exhaust and the DP they wont bolt up. You would need to source an older CS S pipe
 
i did some work on my custom intake mani yesterday. its almost ready to go it. i need to decide if im gonna ceramic coat it. i probably will along with my fmic piping

i do, and dont go corksport downpipe, go with the pope 3inch downpipe, .5 more inches in diameter = faster spool = faster fast(cool)
 
what are you air brushing on them?

Airbrushing stock color paint ripping open to reveal the Carbon beneath. I think they stand out like a sore thumb if the door and front bumper is left in paint...
