ahhhh its like 3.09 here but thats not the thing that bothers me. I dont know if it goes like this in your area but it literally goes up a few cents every day here. like, i saw a sign at a sunoco for 2.97 and thought oh, thats the cheapest ive seen, i'll go there when i need to fill up. 2 days...

I just picked my car up from the dealership today and, at first, they told me that it already had an "update" (the guy just would NOT call it a flash even though he was very helpful =P), and then they told me that all updates had been installed. They kinda change stories a bit but overall, they...

same here man, same here. . . 16. bought it when i was 15. i win =] lol, hopefully posting here didnt just drop the resale value of my car =P i take care of my baby

ahh, i wouldnt worry about it so much. . . in all honesty, what can they really do? "i'm writing you a ticket because. . . your car. . . looks. . . too good. . . . . . " I mean, I can see if youre worried about the CARB regulations and stuff but if youre going the speed limit, I really dont...

but will it actually make it FASTER or just less slow when it heats up? do you know what I mean? because the midpipe will actually make it legitimately FASTER than stock.

yeah, i kinda felt like that originally but now people are saying it gives much better gains. . . like, i felt that, there wouldnt be much difference between my car barely warmed up and my car with an upgraded SMIC that had been running for an hour. Is there? Orng1 might have a point. I'm...

Ahh, thank you SO much gone fishin, youre being extremely helpful. You too Platinum. lol, as far as the ass dyno goes, thats what i mean - can i feel a difference driving. Ok so, I'm gonna go with the SMIC for sure then, and I guess I'll go with the stock airbox? I was planning on getting a...

alright guys, thanks for the input. The midpipe should just bolt right on right? Like, what is there to do besides remove the bolts, pull it off, take out the 02 sensor, put the 02 sensor in the new midpipe, put it in place, and bolt it on? (hahaa, im sure its not NEARLY that simple but im just...

alright, well, let me just clarify incase this helps, I mean the midpipe. Not like the S or J pipes, just the Midpipe that everyone replaces to get the most gains - the Apex'i type one. I think some people call it downpipe and some call it midpipe but its more a midpipe. it looks like ________/...

install some parts. Here's the deal; this is my first car and, while i've read a ton of stuff on the forums here, I've never worked on cars before besides installing my sub and changing the brakes (with my dad). What I would like to do mod-wise is a CAI and a Midpipe (or Downpipe, whatever you...

alright. . . i'll search for that and i'll try and take a picture of the mount i'm talking about tonight. That would probably help eh?

Hey guys, I need some help getting the front headlight off (I think thats the best way to do it) - Heres the deal. My MSP was barely barely hit in the front end at low speed by the previous owner; it was all fixed professionally and hte car drives great. The front bumper was replaced and here's...

CustomMSP, do you sell your SMIC's personally? or is there a store I can get one from? Not to say that I have any money right now, being 16 and paying for half the car + gas = close to broke. but thats alright because I take good care of it and its my baby =]. but my paychecks are coming in now...

ha, yeah, i dont do it on purpose / have only felt it like twice. Also, back on topic, GhostMercury, how you likin the FMIC? Where did you buy it from? Did you notice a big difference in performance when you put it on or not really?

Are you saying you want a high vac pressure at idle or low? like, whats better, 18 or 23? Wouldnt you want 23? hahahaaah im just learning the basics here so dont flame ;-) is too high of a number like 28 or so necessarily bad?

lol. . . yeah, i just couldnt see how the car could take that. . . oh, also, now, this most likely has nothing to do with our cars, i think its just a principle of stick shift (and I'm a complete newbie so please dont flame) but how come when you shift from say 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd while...

bump for agreeing. when i run mine quickly i like doing like 4k-redline shifts in 2nd. . . I dont do them too much though - should I be worried about breaking anything at stock boost? Also, this is just out of curiosity, has anyone here ever launched their car like, hard. I mean like, drag...

wow, lots of valuable info here and after you guys' comments on the airfilter, i'll definitely be looking for an Injen CAI. I just dont know if the gains justify the price seeing as im 16 and moderately broke after buying my car - i start my job next week so i should be making some money soon...

Installed my new 8w0 last night - talk about an improvement over stock!

alright, yeah, ive been meaning to buy a BPV - i'm gonna get one - could the forge be leaking boost? i dont really understand wastegates but it feels like i'm either bogging or not boosting = maybe i'm not getting boost? but i can hear it spooling and the boost guage says 7psi so it would have...
