What have you done to your MSP today?

found out our cheap ass paint can actually stand up to gravel. driving on a highway to work today a dumpster truck in front of me (about 8 car lengths) hit a bump and dumped gravel on the road. I went into the lane next to me thinking that would protect me but nope next thing i heard/saw was the gravel bouncing down the highway and then all over my hood, windshield, hitting the side mirrors and whatnot. I have two chips in my windshield now (insurance covers it at no cost to me so its all good) and NO paint chips at all. go figure, drive down a dirt road and get paint chips or paint chips from bugs but get hit by flying gravel and the paint holds up.

That would explain your latest entry in the ORFAY thread.

Sorry to hear that bro. is your computer at work dont let you enter streetfire.net ? bizzard..

Well that i know Daniel I paid tbk to cryo treat all of my Transmission internals, weld my lsd front and back of it also cryo treated, upgraded synchros and add their 3rd and 4th gears cryo treated as well, I didnt change or pay to get longer or custom gear ratios. also if i raise a little bit the rev limiter i can Hit over 180 mph probably a max of 185 Mph at around 7.8k rpm or so.. these cars have very good top speed you just need the supporting mods and HP, running 18wheels and increase the rev limiter to achieve those numbers. I dont have anything special done to my transmission and no longer gear ratio all of them OEM...

has your overall diameter of the tire changed over stock? Also stock redline is what 6.5k right? If so that would explain why you can get that fast because ircc your just about on redline in 5th at aroudn 138mph. I don't even know what redline is anymore... lol I haven't driven the MSP or seen it in just about two weeks. Also my work blocks just about everything pretaining videos.



Edit: I keep forgetting that your car is all aprt right now.

I do believe the diameter of my wheels compared to stock RHs and tires are different. I also have seen videos of people here hitting 145 mph and not getting near redline i swear i have to check my Computer at dads house cause i have a picture that guy im talking about sent me there you can see 145 mph dont get you near redline. i dont know but redlining your car a 138 mph its weird i dont think the MSPs came with different gear ratios daniel but might be a true possibility.

My car didn't redline at 138 but it was so close that it might as well have been redlining when the gov kicked in. Eh just an extra 500 rpms can make a big difference in top speed with the rev limit raised up.

According to this site you tire setup is smaller then the stock msp!

http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp?action=submit

Stock 215/45/17 Revs per Mile: 845.1
Yours 215/35/18 Revs per Mile: 869.5 (or at least I think thats your setup)
 
Nah, I've been at 140 in my MSP and wasn't near the redline yet. I'll go out and check again on the highway real quick...... JK. But I don't think it was even close to redline.

Yeah thats the tire and wheel size im currently running. Well then i dont know Daniel. my Transmission is Stock when it comes about gear ratios TBK didnt change them or added longer gear ratios. What im sure is that i hit that Top Speed and you can see it in the dyno video and according to my GPS i hit that top speed while playing around with my Friends Gallardo at the same Private road i mentioned before...

If your tire size was correctly stated then your OD is approx. 3% smaller than stock. The net effect would be that your speedo reads faster than actual speed. Your odometer would also rack up miles faster. If my math is correct your speedo would read near 130mph when actual speed was 125.
