What have you done to your MSP today?

[Outlawstar98]

LOL.

Different priorities I guess. outlaw likes his car to look pretty in the garage. I like mine to get me to work every day.

mines a DD... when its running. LOL!

you should see my friends STI its 100% spotless, its perdyyyy and his DD, and he details Lambo's and expensive cars everyday.... lol. But you talk about function, if you look at any race car, they are brand new looking even if they have a full season. Cleaning stuff and making sure nothing get crudded up helps the motors.
(attention)

Number 10

And better yet:
"Here's one area where the racers can benefit from a good detailing as much as or more than the show guys. In a race car, reliability is everything. Having a part fail at the wrong time means the end of the day for you. The gauges in the cockpit can only tell you so much & the laptop monitoring your systems can't see everything. The only way to see if a belt is about to cut loose, or a hose is developing a bulge where it shouldn't or cracks around a fitting is by visual inspection. But if your engine bay is a greasy mess, how can you see what's really going on in there?"

whitebalance is kinda off

 

[Spiced MSP]

was getting ready to buy a CS downpipe to finally complete my exhaust until my clutch started acting up soooo.......stage 1 clutch(brand undecided), flywheel, steel braided clutch line, TWM shifter bushings, and some redline MT90 coming soon. I figured since something always comes up when I have the money to spend on my car, I would take advantage of this downfall and go all out.

clutch acting up: (hand)
aftermarket replacement parts: (dance)

 

[BadBandar]

^^Ive been thinking about getting that CS downpipe. I know how u feel. Whenever ur about to finish up with something. Something else pops up. Oh well. Gotta love the car right.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

I too am wanting the cs dp lol

 

[Ricktalife]

I'm looking for the old version CS S-pipe only. If anybody is upgrading to the new combined version and wants to sell me the s-pipe I am interested.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Why would you want the old one?

 

[Ricktalife]

I have the Vibrant exhaust.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

ahhhhh

 

[SCMP3]

i went to a local mazda club meet and picked up this sweet ass oil cap for $35

and heres a pic i took of the cars

sorry with a cell phone

 

[Velocifero]

Sorry but I didn't feel a damn difference when I put on the CS s-pipe with my Vibrant. Not to mention it sheared in half within less than 400 miles on the car with filled mounts and the flex pipe. I saw a much bigger gain by removing the high flow. I truly like CS, their customer service is top notch, but I have a hard time buying anything I know they fabbed after seeing that many exhaust pieces fall apart at the welds. I know they have a different welder now but I am a tainted individual. Still a great company and huge part of our community.

My dreams are crushed

Maybe I should look into getting one custom made. I don't need a 3" if it will cost an arm and a leg, but I'm sure I could get an improvement from an upgrade.
