    New MSP owner: The good, the bad, the ugly

    Umm GI, the head unit hasn't completely flipped over, it's in the down position, like it wants to accept a CD. The screen doesn't have any power or anything. If I take it off and put it back on it goes to the normal position and remains off. Thanks. Mine isn't as much a clunk as a rattle. I...

    New MSP owner: The good, the bad, the ugly

    I got my brand new black MSP today. I've only put 8 miles on it and already have some questions (doh). Well first The Good: Wow this thing handles like its on rails. It has very precise steering, I'm shocked a FWD can do this. It's light on it's wheels but very confident and planted. Also...

    What's the deal with flashing the MSP

    Bremmer, it's not necessarily that simple. Less fuel should make the car run leaner and hotter, this will generally yield better performance and better mpg. Too much fuel, runs colder and richers. This is safer for the engine, but performance is less and over time you can build up a lot of...

    What's the deal with flashing the MSP

    Ok well it sounds obvious, if I feel it I'd get it done, otherwise I won't bother unless its recommended by the dealer.

    What's the deal with flashing the MSP

    Yeah I know what flashing is, I've helped test ECU's for Maxima's. I meant what was done in the ECU. I don't know if the turbo boost pressure is controlled from the ECU or not. So basically don't flash unless you have hesitation problems? Another stupid newb question, when you say hesitation...

    What's the deal with flashing the MSP

    I've searched and could only find people discussing the actual flash process and dealer experience, and concerns with flashing. I want to know what the flash is? It seems people say it raises the boost? Is this true? From what I gather it also is supposed to make it smoother. Is that all...

    What are they going for right now?

    15995 for 03, 16495 for 03.5 at my dealer. Most likely buying one this week because of the killer prices.

    Need help choosing, buying a new MSP

    Thanks for all the advice, hopefully I'll pick it up this weekend or something. Also, I don't really want to mod the car, the suspension is fine, but I may want to raise the boost and do an air filter. What is the recommended raise in boost, I don't want to run at the edge. If the max safe...

    HAHA, if I got blue I would definitely keep the darker wheels. It sounds like black is a good choice.

    On the black I think I like the lighter wheels. The orange with the gunmetal 03.5's would like sweet though.

    Sorry, but gotta strike while the iron is hot. Man, I like the blue too now. Definitely blue or black, titanium would be nice, but it's not available.

    Yes the titanium is by far the best, but I can't seem to find one, and the lighter silver just doesn't do it for me.

    littleman, sounds like I am. I was just so torn by the colors I couldn't make a decision. You have to admit $15995 for a brand new car that has this much stuff on it is incredible.

    New Info. My dealer just called and informed me the electron blue 03.5 is available. What do you guys think about this one? I'm still partial on the black one at this point. What about the blue?

    Yellow stiching is real cool on the yellow MSP's, but I think I could live without it on any other color. I like the fog lights, but wish they were a tad bit smaller.

    Need help choosing, buying a new MSP

    I agree, the silver does seem like it's missing something. It's like the lines aren't as sharp and it looks too plain. I personally love the orange, but my g/f does not. The yellow is just too much for me. Is there any difference other then mechanic on the 03 and 03.5 What's everyone's...
