I'm running mostly stock and post pics all over the place!! Nothing to be ashamed of. A stock MSP is not only a rare jewel, but also 10x better than 90% of all other stock cars!
nice... did my oil wrench come in handy?
Well the car came with a full Vibrant Exhaust...So I got some high-flows on there.
Let me rephrase: I PERSONALLY won't be doing any major modding to the car. The previous owner put a Vibrant exhaust and Tokico Illuminas on the car.
coooooool. just buy springs

I actually have a set of iON race springs sitting here (came with the car but not installed), but I have no idea what they're gonna do to the car handling wise...

plus the illuminas are a stiff enough shock they should compliment them well.... short of coilovers, I'd say very nearly ideal.
it broke on me (dunno)
I have the secret weapon sri and i have never had a problem

I am somewhat with Flyin' on this one. I'm not planning on any crazy mods unless I just have a boatload of time and it doesn't matter if the car is down for weeks. I don't have that kind of availability right now so the plan is springs (I got illuminas), HID's, and some little interior nicknacks that just need to be replaced after years of wear.

today i tried for the fourth time to replace the bushings on my front sway bar. first three times didn't even get a bolt to turn. this time i got the driver's side bracket and bushing off, but can't even come close to putting the bracket back on with the new bushing in place. gyaaaaaaaaarghhh! how can this be so difficult?!

Because the front swaybar is a big giant piece of poo.

Looking good! Now let me ask why you have them installed like that? Mine look upside down I guess you could say compared to how you have yours. Any reason?
Oh, and I drove mine to DelTaco today. Yummy!!

OUCH. Sorry to hear. You going forged or are you forced to just source another engine and drop it in?

if you're leaving the turbo bolted to the Spipe, no...

yeah, i looked a bunch of photos of people with hood dampers and there seemed to be no consensus as far as the orientation. i put mine in like that 'cause it's the only way they would fit! but they seem to work perfectly and the hood is completely flush when closed.... and dead sexy when opened!

That's awesome! I'm glad you went with them. I've been nothing but happy with mine since I've had them. Glad your hood is sitting flush...(ugh) wish I could say the same for mine, ha. Where did you order them from?
