LMAO So true!
What have you done to your MSP today?
- Thread starter baconbitz
- Start date
The sub and amp were the first things to go on my car so the gt spec cage wasn't much of a hassle but the cp looks beefier. I bet I could run them both hmmm....
Mine is pretty stable now with the Microtech. Just runs more like a ***** aped with cool air.

Yeah, my bother works at the shop , they are getting everything right from Mazda for the MSP parts. That's why its being priced a lot higher as well I believe.. ill have to double check with him tho any ways just to make sure he's getting all MSP parts . Thanks for the heads up .
Fluid level is good. I wonder if the sensor can get dirty and needs to be cleaned. Since it is winter I haven't washed the car in months.

Hah! Yeah I can't fabricate metal for s***... But I would be more than happy to provide dimensions.
It's only about 8-10" tall so it probably would fit under the GT Spec cage, however I don't know the benefit it would have if the trunk cage is already doing it's job.
different mounting points so different distribution of force. I don't know that it would make any difference, I'll have to look into that. My initial thought though is it would make the car want to oversteer more but I have a lot yet to learn about chassis and suspensions

As far as the sexiest color, Laser Blue obviously wins. But who cares which is fastest when they are all slower off the line than a Prius.

I personally looked for a laser blue before settling on the spicy... I agree completely... On both statements.

Does the Standalone make that big of a difference?

If people say a piggy back makes a huge difference I can only imagine how much a standalone does

I'm sure it does. The worst part about our factory tune is the MAF sensor. With a standalone, you can completely ignore it instead of trying to change the signal.
I think so. I didn't change anything but go from piggyback to stand-alone and the car felt completely different. All over just more rowdy, wants to spool up faster, have better throttle response, everything really. It's hard to explain.
With the SSAFC it would still have little hiccups here and there too. I could actually feel the open to close loop switchover, and I still got a little hesitation, which I assume was the stock timing map. With the EMS there's none of that.

If I could do it all over, I would have went Haltech. Buy from a retailer out of Tejas, get it prewired for the MSP on an AEM jumper harness, wire in a couple sensors, and you're done.
