What have you done to your MSP today?

will do.. i will get some pics up tomorrow as well as a video of how it sounds inside and outside of the car.. i would do it tonight but i work til 7:30 and by time i get off, its pitch black outside
 
i always though of altanta like REAL hot and humid... my brother in law went last year to that big heavy metal show that involves alot of rock groups, he told me it was hot and humid as ****... ;)

ohh yeah its like that in the summer...the weather here fluctuates so much its rediculous. The saying in atlanta is if you dont like the weather wait 5 minutes. Its currently 55 here which should be the high for the day
 
so this guy who picks up my friend from work hates on my speed. he says its all slow and this and that. but yet he drives a 1st gen accord? lol...

so tonight we apparently caught a light side by side and since my car has this backfire thing i pretty much backfired in first gear (big cloud of smoke lol) and made him eat my dust lol. he was a small speck when i looked back while shifting to third.

can't wait to hear what she says tomorrow.

zomg youre gonna get banned! jk. but seriously, if you havent already seen the new rule, no more talk of street racing on here. i think its a little much. i mean even my dad, clean record, will put an annoying honda in his place in his STi from time to time.

I couldn't wait until Saturday morning as I had originally planned, so I installed the used CustomMSP SMIC today right after work. Haven't had a chance to drive it yet, but I will in about 30 minutes...(thumb)

Yeah man, it's great! I love it! Boost delivery is a lot smoother, more linear. Low end is slightly improved, but the gains are more evident in midrange and especially higher up in the rev range. It's like the car grew a set of balls it didn't have before above 4000 rpm. I mean it was okay before, but now it breathes better and pulls harder at higher rpm much better than before the SMIC upgrade, when it would start wheezing close to 5000 rpm.

It was already quite chilly here tonight, so the gains probably weren't as drastic as they would have been if I had changed the intercooler on a 90-degree summer day. Although I love the difference now, I'll probably appreciate it more when I'm not heatsoaking during the warmer months.

I'm pretty happy with the car now. Before the SMIC upgrade, I was actually considering moving on to something else. The CustomMSP SMIC upgrade puts the car much closer to where I wanted to be and how I wanted the car to drive, and the minor mods I have planned will get me even closer. I think I'll be hanging on to the car for quite some time now. (thumb)
 
hmmmm.... i havent posted on these parts for awhile, but today i just changed my oil and pressure washed my engine bay.
 
I just finished up changing my oil with some Mobil1 and changing the tranny fluid with Redline MT-90 and some MTL after I'm guessing 69,800 miles. Well, thats what I think since the car was used. I noticed when I was filling the tranny fluid, I used almost 3.5 quarts?

did you have the car level or tilted back. The capacity is 2.9
 
I finally got around to checking out the rattling of the motor today and found loose valve cover bolts all over...tightened them up and no more rattles from the exhaust manifold...

Also decided to relocate the coolant reservoir to under the CAI to make the engine bay prettier...yay
 
i took off a thin layer off my front yokos tonight.. so took a drive out and smoke them with my no wheel hop msp ;)
