Not too much of a difference here folks...

2003 MSP----> $19980 - $20480
2007 Civic Si---->$19,437-$21,226

MSP 0-60 6.9s 1/4 Mile 15.4s

Civic Si 0-60 6.3s 1/4 Mile 14.9s
 
how about we compare the 03 MSP vs the 03 SI? And we compare the 07 MS3 to the 07 SI.
 
the msp can **** almost any other sports sedan if you put the difference in price into mods for it.

We all know this.. Lets not compare highly modded cars to bone stock cars. It's asinine, and isn't a true comparison. I've had cars that cost $3,000 and would woop a stock MSP's ass....

Why is that a good comparison ? The MS3 has what, 65 more horsepower than the NA Civic Si ?.....sounds a little one sided to me.
The MSP is faster than a '01-03 Si (160hp), no need to debate that.

you have a MSP right ? post some pictures of it, i want to see what you got
 
X2 . I didn't build the bottom end. SlowMotionMSP did. That's a question I asked him, and well, bottom line, SlowMotionMSP didn't know much about cars. I would've gotten lower compression pistons had it been me. No biggie though, it's not like I'm running a GT35 w/ 18psi. It's a gt25 @ 15psi.
 
How much power are you putting down? I still can't believe you would have a problem with a STI from a roll.

I was just Wondering since the common thing people do is get 8.5:1 Compression Pistons and stronger rods..
 
Yea, that's what Mazda should have done at the factory. Stronger rods, lower compression pistons, and 5 more psi on the turbo. I believe my car has a slightly thicker Cometic headgasket, bringing the compression down a touch.

That's a good thing to do. when i did my car i went with Aries Pistons 8.5:1 and lower it to 8.1 with a thick head gasket to boost more along with pauter rods.
 
^^ i agree, and the thing about it, that that is a Hard job to switch those parts out. If they had just done it to start with and even changed a little more it would have been so worth it. (Maybe not the 5 more PSI) leave that to the owner since its eazy to change.
