What have you done to your MSP today?

To part out or not to part out...

It just seems wrong of me to part out a car this clean, and with only 62k miles.

Still really confused about which way I want to go with this car. On one hand I feel I'm at the limits of this platform, and would hate to put any more money into it (there's no way I'm building the motor, since I'm at the limits of this chassis when it comes to handling anyways), but then again, I love this car, have had it for 6 years, put a lot of time and money into it, and like I said it feels wrong to part it out when it's this clean, but that's the only way I could get decent money out of it.

If I could only break this emotional connection, and not be such a car guy, the logical, most financially sound choice would be clear.

 

[Preferio]

Well, I say be logical and part it out and give dibs to any local MSP owners who might want parts off of your car........ <---- Not a biased opinion.

i've been in your situation. i just keep building and tearing it down. hopefully there are no more tear down phases to come for me lol

Yeah I did. Then the guy backed out then another guy bought it. I'm glad to be dine with that exhaust. I'm gonna just do the 3 inch dp then a 3 inch pipe all the way out the back. No cats, no res, and no mufflers. Would like to go under axle, but with the vbrace its hard. Plus the rear diffuser dude is making may make it tuff

also think I've decided to run a t3 turbo. May start out with the obx mani then eventually make my own. Probably a twin scroll. And just design my own twin scroll. Cause the only twin scroll one is signature sounds and not only does it look not so great, but it's not even a twin scroll mani. Oh swell. It's whatever

umm this definitly = twin scroll. 2 runners into each port on the flange. going into a twin scroll divided turbine housing.

I've been considering selling the SSAFC and getting a SSFTC...Again, thoughts or opinions...

 

[SCMP3]

But it's not there sir. It's supposed to be opposing cyl. So 1 and 3/2 and 4. Cause that's how the exhaust pulses. I did my research

 

[Preferio]

Oh snap, laying down the knowledge!

How much money have you lost in the process? lol

 

[Preferio]

A bajillion.

Word!

 

[Spiced MSP]

reseated the injectors again, no luck. Same thing. Does anyone know if a misfire can be bad enough to make the car stall?

^^^ anyone?

i don't think i've lost alot most of my stuff i've gotten for really good deals and made a little money of it when i parted out.

 

[2.0t03speed]

the only thing i really lost money on was my built motor

 

[Preferio]

^^^ anyone?

Yeah, most definitely.

 

[Preferio]

I think what you really need to ask yourself is: Are you wanting another challange and are you looking for a faster time on your hill runs?

 

[Preferio]

That is actually for sale... They don't list a price, but how much could they realistically ask for that?! $50? To you? To haul it off?

 

[theEZV]

That will decimate all after we put about 20k in there...if we have to, overnight parts from Japan.
