Marko's MSP

:
2003.5 Laser Blue MSP
Marko's MSP

--Background--
I bought the car back in 2005 with 25k on it, and for a good deal at the time. I was always a fan of the MSP form the day it came out and always knew I would own one. I couldn't be happier that I bought it and still have it today. Its different and unique in more ways than I ever thought imaginable, and that's why I like it.

--The Goal--
The MSP build is focused on it being a fun/quick track car, but with the ability to still be street driven if I want. I don't really care much about straight line speed and max power, but rather a very well balanced car.

Sub. You need to post more pics, because you make me proud to own a laser blue :D

Soooooo nice and clean. Makes me want a DG lip again.

I literally tried to go through every part people commonly add and came up with this:
Thicker swaybars
Coolant catch can
505 intake mani (debatable b.c his is ported)
Wastegate actuator
Cf goodies
Lighter track wheel/tire setup than the rh's (although since hes running spacers makes me think he likes having the rh's nd wont be getting wheels)

So out of the handful of things that he could even consider doing, none are really necessary.
aside from stripping the car and caging it, e cant really make it a better track car.
This is the most complete msp that i have ever seen.

Well done on making, imo, the sweetest msp on the forum

Sorry guys nothing against your msps but this is sooooo clean and well done
 
He definitely needs a 505 mani, but that's about all for power mods. The ported stocker is about the same as a 626 without the crappy idle.
