What have you done to your MSP today?

[daedalus]

I jus gotta interrupt the thread and say, Matt, it's so good to see u and that yellow beast back on these boards so much. U & Pirana got THE BADDEST yellows I think I've ever seen. I'm comin ur way soon, I wanna get a "real life" glimpse of it. I'm glad u kept her. (yes) [end rave]

Thanks Doug. Its always nice to get a compliment! I think we've been planning to meet up for over 2 years now. lol.

daedalus, ive been meaning to ask you. Are you gonna stay with the stock turbo or something a tad bigger? I know you had her going pretty good with the stocker at one point.

 

[Pirana]

Hey, I'am glad to see your are coming back!

PS-is not what I have done to it today...its what Iam going to do to it tomorrow

Probably going to get a disco potato. I was thinking of going with a 2871r, but frankly, i don't want the added lag even if the benefit is more power. 350whp imo is the limit of a FWD platform. anything much more and you've just got useless wheels spin unless your on the highway. 350 would be a very nice happy medium, and with the smaller turbo it would be near as responsive as the stock unit which i love. Nothing like boost at 2500rpms!

Initially though, i want to see if i can fix the oil pressure problems with the krankcase vents, check the compression, and through it back on the dyno to retune it (we de-tuned it and took out a s*** ton of timing to sell the car).

I wiped a big layer of pollen off the windows this morning...booo to high pollen counts turning my pretty Black Mica into a weird yellow/green color!

 

[Rush]

But pollen means it's spriiiiiiiing! .. And time for allergy attacks, but oh well.

Bought the front set of Rotora rotors this morning! I'll hopefully have the new brakes on in about two weeks. Cause now I gotta save up the money to get 'em installed, cause I do NOT do brake work myself -- that's just begging for bad things to happen.

Any decent mechanic shop should be able to put on rotors and brake pads, right? I wouldn't think it'd be anything too complicated .. but my knowledge of brakes is quite limited.

Even Nick's turbo upgrade. I doubt you'll hit 350 with it but you can atleast say its the oem turbo (kinda)

I lost my car and I don't think I'll ever get it back. My finacee's Subaru got a hole in the exhaust so we switched cars so I could get it fixed and now she isn't planning on trading back! She says she likes the looks, handling and MPG of the MSP. Well, I guess I am the proud owner of a sweet 90' Maroon Subaru Loyale

[Pirana]

Front brakes are extremely easy.

 

[BOOSTR]

So are the rears. I just did a complete rotor/pad change the other day. Did the rears first. A few more steps, but just as easy.

It was my day off so I took care of a few things. I got new toyo proxy 4's put on the front wheels, alignment, and installed gt spec strut bar. Then with a help of my buddy cleaned the car and saw the color I originally purchase, black not brown(lol)!

dude you could totally do the brakes. I'm pretty sure theres how-to's and stuff. Its pretty straightforward..... and i'm sure theres plenty of people that would be willing to help.

I just turned my front rotors and changed the pads and I must say it was simple as hell... not the mess that VW calls brakes @ all.
