~Pirana's MSP Timeline!

[Pirana]

Following on Tom03ES thread of Then and Now...I have compiled some pics from the past 2 years since I had the MSP.

The day I pick it up in Houston. The only mod it had was the drilled/slotted rotors, since the OEM warped twice!

Stock interior minus the boost gauge

Completely stock engine

First mod!! 10/24/2005

Cheap, but one of the best looking wheels out there.

Couldnt pass up a deal on a used, but new in box Fiber Images Evo hood.

Now it was time for some engine love...used Injen and ceramic coated P5 valve cover. Optima battery using a piece of wood for installtion as the OEM died almost as soon as I brought the car home!

Again, couldnt pass up a good deal on a used set of Sparco Torinos

Well now that the car is been moded, I installed my used set of Defi gauges from my STi.

Now some good lovin from Canada with the Xcelerated Concepts carbon trunk lid...wohooo...still rocking the OEM Mazdaspeed exhaust.

Another good deal came up in the form of used Perrin intercooler...

Finally a battery tray, GTspec strut bar and a real coolant catch can (again used). Dont knock the air filter...it was just for the pic!

Clean looking pic...wingless...FMIC...carbon...nothing but love!

Ah, the you know who manifold! I know that I was one of the lucky ones.

Installation.

Mmm, finished product...with an AEM dry-filter.

New Vibrant exhaust

New TCS mirrors

After wheeling and dealing with a member of Evolutionm.net I got a used Evo wing.

Wooo, finally put in the order at Crossover Auto for a Rotora BBK....sweeet!

Oops, not even a 10mm spacer would let me fit the Konigs...so of to look for some new wheels...this photoshop gave me a good idea how a set of TE37 Volks would look in the MSP.

You knew the outcome...thanks to one of our members here...I got the used set of Volks and a new amber signal lights...details baby.

Going back to the interior...now I got a used Sparco steering wheel and the little hoods for the Defi.

Again Crossover Auto comes thru with their Crossover Spec 4pt roll-bar...its all for the points!

Finally landed some partial sponsorship with Nitrous Express!!!

Sweet carbon fiber lightweigh solenoids from NX

No sponsorship on the carbon bottles

Finally put the rest of the GTspec suspension bars

We were heading to HIN and needed some ideas for the MSP and to help Crossover with some exposure

Came out pretty good!!

 

[Pirana]

Finally after 7 months of waiting...the Modified Magazine May 2007 issue hits the stands!!

The MSP hits cyberspace!!!

The MSP reaches our troops all the way in Afghanistan...thanks to CarbonKid!!

After a year of the first NOPI Finals...in 2007 the MSP made it to the Toyo Tires booth!!
This are some of the best pics I have thanks to CarandModel.com

The Takatas are in just in time for the show.

GTspec trunk cage...no heavy stereo system here...

The future of the MSP2.0L a GT30R, some Wiseco pistons and Pauter Rods. Custom Crossover Auto spec SuperTech valves, springs and retainers with a custom stage 3 head port. See you next time!
