What have you done to your MSP today?

[Preferio]

Sorry about wheels. The racingharts were one of the reasons I like these cars (but have seen them w great looking aftermarket wheels too).
What is "atp wga"? I've got a lot of terminology to learn.
How did you know that your LSD disintegrated?

ATP is a company- Advanced Tuning Products.
WGA- Wastegate Actuator.

It'll sound like your transmission is full of gravel and the car will either not move under it's own power or barely move, the LSD is toast.

Got me some grip for dirt cheap. $30 per tire

Internal waste gate actuator made by atp turbo. A common replacement for stock.
I knew my lsd was on way out back in 2012 when I started doing one wheek burnouts on hill corners lol.
I haf it all out in november and found two chunks lodged in with my dif plates. No one could tell me what they were. Mazda tech or otherwise and I couldn't fish them out so left them.
My trans clicks when rolling off throttle and is quiet on power. So the dif is diffing and when power is applied whatever is floating is clamped but doesn't do any limited slipping.
Basically its an open dif with floating s*** atm.
I really need to get back in there and replace the dif. Unfortunately that's a $1000 job lol. Kibda screwed atm.

I found all this out when replacing primary shaft bearings. And my clutch. But its my daily.

I recently got a hookup for very lightly used Dunlop slicks for my Bullitt, 18" $80 a piece. They are takeoffs from racing teams with anywhere from 0-10 laps on them maximum.

have to roll your rear fenders and add slight camber, fronts are good.

I havent rolled mine and im +35 with -1.5 camber. No rubbing. I'm also not lowered a whole lot right meow. This was at an autocross before the coilovers fully settled.

What's the wheel width and tire size?

I keep forgetting I had bigger tires when I had +38 wheels contributing to my rubbing

225/45/17 17x8+35

Edit: I wish they were 235 for more rubbery gripness

Those are for an S197 Mustang so the offset is +30 and the backspacing is 157mm. Little too hella flush for me

whew that's some offset

 

[hornsfan10609]

Yeah it is for a protege, they look great on the Bullitt.

Anyone else see the FB page, "MSP owners lounge" where someone posted an MSP at an autocross event running 265/25r18s? That's a wide tire for an MSP. I run 245s on the 8, so I can't imagine a 265 on an MSP.

 

[THE Phen]

Isn't Corey running 275's on his RPF1's for Auto-X?

Holy s***, are they 18s?!??!?

 

[Valk]

How has the larger tire size affected the car with 225/45/17 or is it pretty negligable?
I guess 225s out of the question struts?

 

[THE Phen]

No, 17's. But still damn wide. Where's he at? He can chime in here. I may have to send him a PM.
