Yea but he went with coils for he same reason I did. The stock struts are too wide.

Indeed. It's not even really bumps, but hard cornering (i.e. over 80 mph). I don't think you could go that wide on the wheel because you'll rub the stock struts. I've got coilovers coming in a week or so and I'm going to see how much I can drop it.

With a good roll and little pull I would say 18x9.5, maybe even 10inch. That's a pretty conservative offset. I'm running 37 offset with 18x9.5 with a good roll on stock springs, and only rub a little. I need to get a pull. 245/40/18 tires.

nope. Over on the "other" forums they just got the rods back from testing, and they showed that these rods will break if loaded down that low, or if making over 300-350 tq. Pistons are fine though till like 500, go figure.

Oops, yea. MPG.

I find it decreases by about 1mph with a fairing, more without, and 2-3mph with a bike or two on it.

I got a decent deal on it.

Yea, the whole inside is going to get redone when I put the double din head unit in. I have my own idea for what it's going to look like. I have the head unit, should put it in next week after it stops raining here.

So I've been here for a while, but was waiting till I had my car to make this thread. Now I finally do. 2008.5 MS3 in metro gray. I'll get some better pics when it stops raining here. A few of us made a road trip out to arizona to pick her up. 24000 miles on her, by the time we got back, and...

I've gotten as high as 29.5 and I'm fully bolted (dp, mp, catback, manny, SRI, BPV, FMIC, and meth) with a stage 2 ap tune. Staying out of boost FTW

Umm, I might be interested, but seeing as how I can find this online for 80$ shipped you want to put up a realistic price?

I haven't checked shipping recently but I'm selling mine. Almost brand new in box, took it out once to try it, then found out gamestop doesn't return accessories so I'm stuck with it. I want to get around 70$ for it so add on shipping to that.

So yea, first post, but I've been on here lurking for a while. I've gone through everything I can find about turbo'ing a P5, but still had a few questions. If I keep it at the stock MSP settings (5-7lbs of boost) what problems might I run into down the line. FWIW the car has a little under a...
