Put fresh oil in it and took it for a drive. The car feels superb now with the new suspension and brakes.
What pads are you guys running? I've been using centric pads but I think the car warrants something with a bit more bite but something that doesnt kill my wallet.

I had stoptechs on my other msp and they were great. they eat the rotors but the stopping power was great.

I havent ever looked, but do the dust sheilds on the fronts come off themselves or do you have to pull the whole assembly appart?
^ i know what you're sayin... if it was all CF i would have left it solid like that, but since it was rush's old hood i just painted over the titanium w/ white primer. (looks better than the titanium/sunlight silver mix.)
the opposite looks nice tho -
if i don't end up selling the MSP, i'll eventually have the whole thing re-finished to just solid CF.

I ran at Mid-Ohio yesterday. On the way home I snapped the water/alt belt 10 miles from home. I thought I shut in down in time before she got too hot. But on a new belt on the side of the road and started dring again. Heard a weird sound from the turbo. The car no doesn't build boost and just stops at 0 on my meter. The car doesn't smoke are sound like it is dieing. Almost sounds like a mini super charger is on my car in vaccum, but you can't hear it under idle. I'm guessing it is the wastegate or actuator. Any thoughts?
Have you checked for disconnected pipes?
I haven't really touched it yet. I'm going to take a look at it tomorrow

I'd guess maybe the belt breaking may have torn a silicone coupler... hopefully. I'm not gonna mention a whining turbo at low rpms is bad yet though... might just be more audible if there is a blown coupler making it sound worse than it is.
I hope it is simple like that. I don't have a lot of extra money to spend right now. I hopeto have her back together and running for the Mid-Ohio GrandAm race this weekend.
