What have you done to your MSP today?

Dropped her off at the dealer for the 1st time ever (nailbyt) The rear lip was doing the typical sag and they wouldn't just hand me the improved install kit, they "had to" install it ...
 
I washed it, finally the weather was nice enough. She looks hot too, except where my sister backed into me, that will be fixed soon though.
 
just stumbled onto this thread. i gotta get some pics and stuff. but you're all more than welcome to check out my thread of my build for info on my lx-msp.
 
installed Kartboy shifter bushings that i got from altspace. very solid feeling when shifting, i like it alot!

yea i remember the day i discovered my clock....that was exciting. i cant recall exactly what i was trying to reset but somehow i turned the clock on. have no idea how i actually set the time but it was exciting.
 
Just the other day I bought some kumho ecsta ast 215/45-series tires and finally put the rota's back on the car. Man I missed those wheels so much , the black wheels were garbage even though they looked kinda cool.
 
put some new tires on, well semi new. They had 3,000 miles on them the guy hated them so he sold them to me for a hundred bucks. potenzas re040 I believe they are pretty good my other tires were bald nankangs. perfect timing, perfect price for me right now.

those are what the car comes with stock. He didn't like them? They are good tires, just expensive. I got some cheap when my Falkens were done and then one blew and I went to replace just the one. $200. But they are real nice at least in dry weather. I am changing rims currently and will be running Kumho Ecstas. Only thing is they are 205/40s and I am more of a 215/45 fan.

yeah 205/40s are way small compared to 215/45.. I was running 215/40 (which already is larger than stock p5 size) but there was a wild sale on the Potenza RE750s in 205/40 so I picked up a set.. ride quality I don't notice a diff though.

what Kumhos are you gettin.. some Ecsta MX?? :) I think I'm going to go back to those when I wear through these bridgestones.. my ecsta MXs only lasted 10k miles but it was oh so fun :)

edit: link to what 205/40s look like on the wheels that you are getting: http://picasaweb.google.com/clauretano/November2006TheCar/photo#5001196883348750354

yeah thats what Gapeaches had on her rims, two of the tires were toast so I only have two on the car at the moment, Shadow102 is mounting the two for me now and I'll pick up at lunch and throw them on the car. Gong crazy ricer with the two different rims at the moment. I'll be sure to throw a picture up this afternoon after I get the rears on.
 
As long as your msp is loww 205/40 won't look too out of place. see the edit of my post above for link to 205/40 on those exact wheels pic :P

yeah I have had some 205 Paradas on the car before, had to go back to the 215s, as I will after these tires are gone. I am digging the bronze so far.

he had them on a tsx and wanted something he could use in winter also and these tires suck ass in snow so he just wanted to get rid of them.
 
Not today, but had my K-sports installed and my alignment done this past weekend.....
