What have you done to your MSP today?

.. Kept smackin' my head off the roof on the last 15 miles or so on the Turnpike, on my way home last night, thanks to my upgraded suspension. I'm just thankin' GOD that I didn't have on my 18" wheels .. I prolly wouldn't be able to walk today, my ass would be so bruised.

Construction FTL. Ugh.

thats quite impressive considering youre pretty short (IIRC)... I never have bumping issues (atleast not yet) :p but I cant stand to drive in philly. I hit those sewer covers/potholes and the entire car sounds like I snapped an axle...

bad philly streets FTL...

maybe...wear a seat belt? if it's not working..get harness'
 
i'm 6'1. i wack my head all the time, but i got used to it though. i have to do the limbo to get in my car lol.
 
Needed my car up and running, so i raised the endlink tabs on the K-sports as high as possible and put the OEM Endlinks back on. We'll see how long it lasts.....hopefully till another set of AWR's come in. Thought about going to the dealer and just picking up the shorter endlinks for now, but ill see how this holds up.

Snapped AWR endlinks FTL :(

Guess I forgot to put the sarcasm tags on my post, LOL .. I wasn't ACTUALLY bashing my head off the roof -- but if I was a foot and a half taller and didn't wear a seat belt, I have no doubt I would've been.

I can't WAIT till I move in July. These Philly roads make me want to kill PennDOT.

WGA? DIdn't you change yours out recently?

took one stab at it but didnt have the right tools. my friend was driving my car so he wasnt use to the way it drives even aware of the broken actuator. hopefully ill get it done this week. i have a garage lined up and im armed with more tools, so hopefully.

but as for today, popped off the hotside pipe right off the compressor shifting from 3rd to 4th at about 7 psi.

im just waiting for the day it blows up....my luck seems to be at its worst right now.

nah, i've popped both pipes off a couple of times, not at teh same time, that would be wierd, just drive it normal and you'll be fine,even when I saw mine spike to 19 i still played alittle, not much mind you.
 
omg i just released a new beast. finally got the wga replaced and man oh man, its never driven this well ever. spikes 8 sometimes 9 and settles at 7-7.5 and it feels so good to be able to floor it again. no more 17 psi spikes with the slightest blip of the throttle for me. we decided to bend the old actuators arm to get it out easier and managed to break it, heres a pic:
 
I started my MSP for the first time a while, all the tires are about flat. I forgot what driving a car with A/C, a roof, and power steering was like.
 
cleaned up some vacuum lines in my car to my boost controller. actually shortened them a bit. before they were all long and not fitting well. looks alot cleaner now. i also got some Seafoam. gonna do a Seafoam cleaning this weekend.

Also looked at my tires. Gosh, they're almost slicks! haha... not much tread left. thinking of getting some Falken 452 to replace my crappy Kumho 712.

Where did you get the Seafoam from? CA sued them a few years back and banned their product from the state. I'm guessing they paid some fines and cashed in some pollution credits (or we have a watered down version) ...
