GTSPEC parts installed on MSP (not 56k friendly)

[Ryoga28]

Yeah, I did think it was a bit excessive ^_^

 

[vindication]

question, on that rear v-brace, does it leave any room for an exhaust upgrade? looks pretty close and might cause it to hit and make noise

 

[Ryoga28]

I'm not sure about that, but Jayson did mention that the exhaust can be cushioned to prevent clunking.

omg, modded msp suspension, the stock suspension blows my mind, i cant imagine all that stuff on a msp.

 

[Ryoga28]

Actually, according to gtspec there is another blue msp in New Jersey that has all the parts installed (i didn't install the rear strut bar-need my stock amp).

thats.... just... awesome O.O sweet dude

 

[speedhawaii]

handling must own now. take it through the twisties and have fun. looks great

 

[Ryoga28]

Thanks for the comments.

It has been confirmed that the rear v brace bars will clunk with the sway bar if Micaspeed!'s (dave) klunk fix is also installed. My mechanic told me he'll fix it somehow this monday.

sweet upgrades.

so who mentioned to you that with an upgraded exhaust this will still work? i remember researching the 4-point ladder, and finding that you can't use it with a non-stock exhaust because it will hit ..

 

[Ryoga28]

warrier04- Jayson from revspec said it could work by adding some kind of a cushion between the exhaust and the ladder bar...but I'm not sure if it'll really work. You could always call Gtspec directly to get some more info.

Looks great!

I notice in the pictures that you relocated your sway bar bushings.
Did this help with the cluck.

Dave's klunk fix brackets do work to eliminate the clunk, however recently there has been reports of a different kind of clunk associated with worn out endlinks. Also, it's very hard to get this part because of Dave's job (busy).

How much did they charge for the install and how long did it take them? Nice upgrade by the way.

 

[Ryoga28]

The install was about 3 hours and I was charged $250 (cash to avoid tax)

 

[Dr.Sound]

looks awesome!
great job man, take on some twisties now

 

[tekkie]

looks awesome, makes me want all the pieces

 

[azian6er]

hows it feel man, honestly... not placebo effect..

 

[Ryoga28]

Honestly...I don't know ^_^ I've gotten so used to it now, I can't tell the difference.

Btw, my greddy radiator tank is coming in this week...

 

[UnNaturalinc]

These bars are awesome... I've got the set minus the 4pt ladder bar (doesnt fit w/ my exhaust).

I posted something about it not long ago, I recently had them powdercoated red.


Looks good man!

 

[SilverBulletES]

Not dissin'-- I think it's great... but as I have a puny ES and you have a manly MSP.... I wonder how much weight that added total?
