What have you done to your MSP today?

Hit redline for the first time ever since i got my license. I really had to pee and was tired of waiting for traffic to stop coming so i cut off traffic to get to my dorm parking lot and to do so I hit redline. Now im paranoid i broke something even though everything runs fine. btw, having long periods of not driving the msp makes you really appreciate the pull that little engine puts out.
 
Could be just the picture, but the color of the HID's looks more like 8K...

i installed my new xtreme 10K HID's a couple of nights ago :)

Did you take it to the red line or did you hit the rev-limiter? I regularly take my engine past red line (but not fuel-cut) when accelerating hard. No need to baby the engine - set it free!!
 
i took my msp back from my little cousin who decided to stop making payments to me for the car and im glad to have her back.

The car is fine... You should do it more often. Many times, cars will actually wear worse when you don't exercise them often. Gets all the pumps and hoses and whatnot flowing at full-tilt, which can help unblock gunk in the system and keep things running healthy. Think of it like going for a run once in a while to get the blood pumping. As much as we think of cars as mechanical nothings, they are as organic and as fickle as we are...
 
ive never taken my msp to redline. hell i hit full boost only like 4 times this year, and that was to test out the ss afc and the wideband.
 
I'm not aloud to it boost until I get a job again.

So I don't boost much either, ever. I hit maybe 2psi max in recent month's not full throttle.
 
Car wouldent start on me at work.... got Jumped by my coworkers car, went to autozone and got a battery for 88$, I can start my car now. LOL
 
yeah I know, two years with a loose battery terminal, HAHAH.

BUt it striped some of the paint off the strutbar after I painted it already :( Bummer haha. Ohwelllllllll
 
Wow. I smash on my car pretty much everyday. I enjoy hearing that turbo scream. I lost count how many times ive hit redline. Bunch of babies. lol.

i believe in middle ground. not boosting is dumb, go buy an NA protege if you don't boost anyway... but driving like a bat outa hell all the time is equally if not more retarded, depending how obnoxiously and inconsiderately you drive.

*not accusing anyone in particular of anything, general statement only.

P.S. my idle finally cleaned up, I think the ECU figured itself out finally, and has accepted the lack of vac leak. lol
