What have you done to your MSP today?

[Outlawstar98]

Installed My head and torque'd it down! 70 ft/lb is alot to me haha

 

[littlemimus]

Adjusted my clutch pedal.... talk about making a huge difference! Easier to shift, easier to press in, and just makes the car feel all around nicer compared to bringing your foot 1/32 off the floor(my carpet has wear marks form the clutch hitting it) to something normal or at least some what normal!!!!

how do u adjust it?

 

[thecrash91]

how do u adjust it?

there is a screw that connects it to the master cylinder, i wouldnt mess with it much though, for all you know it could be not pushing it in all the way and the clutch could be grinding ever so slightly thus wearing it down. just my .02 though

i want it a little stiffer. and cant u just go in nuetral and give it like 4500 rpms and if the car moves the clutch is still partially engaged?

edit:whoops meant first gear.

um, no, because in neutral you shouldn't go anywhere at all.

(detect)

 

[thecrash91]

to test it out id fully engage clutch in 1st gear (let out the clutch) and floor it to see if its pulling the clutch slightly away, or to test if its still in when you push the clutch in put it in first and rev, not guarunteed results. if you want stiffer clutch why not go stage 1 or something? my clutch is pretty stiff, well, it took a day or two to get used to it after i sold my p5 and got this baby. i have exedy stage1

i have a exedy stage 1. and it was lighter than my stock clutch

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

My car has just been through its first earthquake... lol

There's something wrong with that... Either your "stock clutch" wasn't stock, or your current clutch has a problem. I have an Exedy Stage 1, and it's not that stiff, but still considerably stiffer than stock...

 

[Valk]

Dunno about that. My spec stage 2 plus is only a little stiffer than my sticker was. Way harder to drive in traffic ha.

Why is it way harder to drive in traffic?

 

[Valk]

Because the spec has like. .... A few mm of engagement so you either slipping it a lot or ramming somone and chirping tires heh. Im not used to it. But was real cheap so im happy =)

though tranny makes a weird sound when you downshift in 2nd
and 4th. Not
grinding but not
a happy sound.

Are you still on the factory LSD? That sound is your differential about to shred apart!! (lol2)

 

[Valk]

Uhhhhh what....? Lol knew i should have welded it when i had the tranny out but was afraid to phuc that up haha. Doesnt make t he sound if im
real easy on the downshifting.

Bleh. Can it be saved at this point?

Unfortunately, it was doomed from the factory...

But honestly, I can't be sure what the sound is cause I haven't heard it in person... Was just bein a funny guy.

someone told me it was a little lighter....

 

[o0n8]

put some 3m tape on the weather stripping and cowl area in front of the windsheild to hold it down. Two of the tabs were broken when i bought the car and decided i might as well do something about it

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

In other news, would you all believe if I said I got pulled over AGAIN on the way from work? Apparently my LEGAL Vibrant exhaust was too loud for his tastes. What I think really was going on is they were fishing for drunk drivers (saw 3 other people pulled over on the same road) as he was asking me a bunch of questions (did you go to Penn State, where you coming from, if you went to Penn State why are you working at Lowe's, etc etc etc). Ended up giving me a WRITTEN WARNING for, and I s*** you not: "Modifying exhaust system on motor vehicle, causing excessive noise emission."

WTF --- FML




Half of me wants to sell this car right now...
