anyone watch that show Super 2tuner tv on spike tv sats at 12?

I was going to buy a sentra til I say them modding one, they guy spent a lot of money on crappy ebay parts, header to tip and cold air, and only got 10 whp on his dyno.

Not sure if that was accurate since you have 215 whp, but you should check out that clip from the show, it makes the sentra look weak even though it is not.

I still wish I saved enough money for the EVO but o well .

Dude if the EVO was an option I would have gone for it obviously, I would have rathered saving, but even saving the EVO isn't an option for me

EVO rocks, perfworks has his at 285whp and all it has is a re flash like the msp. Insane!

How do you like the Sentra transmission? I'm assuming it is the 6 speed, I wish the speeds were 6 speed!!! I was reading on car and driver that it was notchy dunno.

03_ser_specv - Hey dude I'm in CT. Come on over.
No racing though, I would get cuffed and sent to the pokey. Too much speeding in my old car.

I thought the 6 speed was bit much, just plain too much shifting.

 

[JPBlackMP5]

Welcome fellow msp owners. nice choices of colors.

 

[Eric-BlackMSP]

6 speed would rock on the highway dude Plus the gears are so short makes you feel like your driving faster then you are : P.

I wish the MSP was 6 speed and AWD that would rock! .

Eric

 

[II-Savy]

I feel like the 4wd would add too much weight and $$. You would need a 200hp car from the factory.

 

[spacemonkey]

That would put the WRXs outta business. Cuz the speed looks alot better! Im not a big fan of the 02' frog lights. I like the 04' and 96' WRXs.

(werd) to the tranny comment ....i will show you the bad 2nd to 3rd gear synchros as i grind 3rd...as a matter of fact 85% of all spec v's have the infamous 2nd to 3rd grind while racing/shifting fast....it sucks

 

[Eric-BlackMSP]

Ouchie, do you burn your clutch or grind your gears? o the question to end all questions.

And the WRX should be spanked by our speeds, but no mazda in all its wisdom did not feel the need.

Then again we are one of the fastest econo cars turn into semi sport. Damn SRT 4 and Golft 1.8t! Dont you love how we all sweat these cars? Even though these are rental cars tuned to be semi quick if that? . Werd.

I agree with you on everything

Nonono, it's only when i go from 2nd to 3rd it grinds for a SPLIT second, it's annoying as hell, I'll try to get an audio clip of it lol....Other than the the tranny is fine...short geared = mad shifts lol


Just like the nissan ad

Shift_Change
Shift_Excitement
or like I say.....
Shift_Again____And Again

Sheesh, chill out there man I was saying anything bad about it. Yeah, my car is a Sentra and you are a Protege big deal, I'm happy to call my car a Sentra. Anywho, what's the deal with me spraying have to matter? Last time i checked a turbo counts as FI right? Oh yeah, did you know that was only running a 50-shot right? Iv'e only spent just under 2000 for my engine mods, not that it matters. I totally love MSP's, you just need to relax a little bit, seriously.

Sorry if I went over the top, man...I've been a bit pissed, I just read the wrong post at the wrong time (check my other threads out, you'll get the idea...) Anyway, I do respect your ride, and it's nice to see a fellow tuner who is NOT ricing. Well, I gotta get some time in with the wifey...once again, I'm really sorry to fly off the handle. I'm guessing you're GF has the MSP, right?...which is why you've got the lower post count...god I'm such an ass....

Yeah me too I wanted a RSX type S but it was way too expensive. They wanted $20,000 for a regular RSX...WTF! No matter what they did to it its still and integra. And if they ever did come up with a Type R it would be atleast $26,000-$29,000...why wouldn't you buy an EVO 8 for that price or WRX? RSX blows! I just know I got mine fo $17,100 and its turbocharged! Makes me happy when I drive over to the acura dealer because I scheduled a test drive to flaunt my MSP. Im going to test drive and and say it sucks and that it was a good thing I didn't buy a RSX.

Off topic, but i totally whored an rsx-s the other night. Put a couple cars on him from a dig, and a little more from a roll.

Oh, and by the way, welcome to msprotege. Enjoy your mazdaspeed, dont be afraid to ask questions, except wait, they've all been answered before(for the most part).
