What have you done to your MSP today?

[benben84]

You just made my idea for rims on my CX-7 a little more solid! My idea was to have black rims and instead of the 'ever so popular' chrome lip, I would have the lip painted a dark cherry red. Your setup is sweet! I need to paint condenser and everything behind grill black, that looks really good.

In your second pic, you have the vacuum line going from your wastegate actuator right to your turbo, is there a reason for this?? I know it's usually goes to your manifold, just curious...

yea in the forge wastegate directions it specifically says,in bold, not to use the manifold because it will pull vac on the wastegate and that can contribute to wastegate failure.

considering how many msp ones break, and since it was off, i tapped the turbo

So is it better to have near the turbo? I'm was thinking about this and maybe this is better to do since in theory it will help out boost spike. Am I right?

 

[terbow]

its better in the fact that u wont see vac on the wastegates diaphram (u can use pre intercooler pipes also). i think the spike is due to the device itself. on my internal gate i dont really get much spike, but when i had a boost controller i did.

Cool, I think I will be changing mine to save my WGA. Thanks

Shortest possible line to the WGA. A lot of other turbos come already setup like this.

Pics?

here are a couple of crappy pics

 

[crashkelly]

Replaced my oil return line o-ring to fix my turbo's oil leak....installed kartboy shortshifter with greddy weighted knob(that freaking knob weighs like 3 pounds...) and i found out where my transmission leak is coming from and fixed it!

 

[terbow]

i have the same knob, i love it.

 

[Buca]

More like what didn't I do.

Ordered, SMIC,Midpipe,New Wheels (Enki's Evo 5's) Injen CAI, Thinkin about a new set of Eibach springs but living in NW ohio roads are s*** don't wanna ruin the ride...Still to order are the following, B&M short shifter, kartboy bushings, Boost Controller, Super AFC............

yeah i love the weight of it...before i put the kartboy shifter in i put on the stock stick(for the ride home from my girls place in NJ...i had the package with the knob and shifter sent to her house cause we used her credit card to order it) and the weight just made the shifting soooo smooth...now that the kartboy is in its a little stiffer(which i guess is normal but ive never had a SS before) but the knob makes it much less notchy. Just drops it into gear so nicely!

yo i highly recommend the kartboy shifter over the BM...the are no longer in production but APEXUMS tuning still has like 10 or so left i think...maybe less...when i found that out i had to get one before the go completely out of existance. Check out the for sale section...hes got a great deal on them too...75 for just the shifter and 100 for the shifter and bushings...i have the full set and its niiice and you will never beat that price!

 

[Velocifero]

I aslo highly recommend the TWM ss over the B&M. You can't beat the ball bearing bushings!

I'm getting my car washed today, detailed next week, and rotating my tires as 5 75+ second autocross runs took a nice bite out of the front tread.

 

[shootz]

High Beams, AC Condenser, etc.

I took the MSP to the shop to see what I need to do get the A/C up and running (and see what I is up w/ the front right axel). They're quote for condenser install, A/C system flush, A/C Receiver/Drier replacement, and recharge was about $500... not bad compared to the $600-800 quotes I've been getting... most of that was the dealer cost on the $295 receiver/drier.

I also hooked up the high beams (finally) on the new Pro5 w/ TSX projectors I installed last week. Here's a pic (ignore the bug splatter):

I think they are a bit too dark, but I am growing to like them more by the day.
