What have you done to your MSP today?

[THE Phen]

^Now there's a relic! Man, that post has to be like... 7 years old. I'm pretty sure Beau was banned just before I joined up.

Yes sir that post was dated 03-20-2005 haha. Around that time was pretty much the golden age for the msp after market.

 

[THE Phen]

Or at least the paying for and dreaming of actually receiving your parts... Haha.

the doc b setup wont help you if your oil pickup gets uncovered from hard cornering. Knox had a awr pan and his motor still blew from oil starvation.

to add to my last post. This is why Mental addiction was going to make a new oil pan w/ a trap door setup and a new oil pickup. Direct quote from beau.

oh ok, that makes sense. The stock setup is also the reason I haven't done any track events with the car. Well, that along with the fact that I don't want to snap another diff. I would like this one to last until I can get the MFactory diff

what i meant was around that time(2003-2006) is when there were actually vendors. spool,magnus,wagner,ion,ghl,greddy,mam,etc. all in those early years. Now who do we have? no one lol. Vibrant doesn't even make a exhaust for the msp anymore.

Right. It's an absolute bummer when you think about how many people want to work on the cars, but at the same time... the MSP turns 10 next year, and the BJ platform is 14 years old. Why dedicate valuable resources toward development on antiquated technology when there are all of these new cars on the market with more HP, more potential gains, and people who just bought them who have money burning holes in their pockets. It sucks, but gotta follow the $$$.

 

[SCMP3]

I guess. But look at civics, miatas, 240s....tons of older cars. Huge aftermarket.

 

[2.0t03speed]

because they are common and you can make power with them. msp's aren't common and you can make power without building them. Nissans & hondas both have strong motors and are a dime a dozen. as far as miatas go they are common...... and they have their own racing class lol.

[msp14]

Ok so uhhh I want a carbon fiber trunk... What's the chances of finding one for a reasonable price?

 

[Knox Joe]
