What have you done to your MSP today?

[o0n8]

^Really good work.

I was able to swap the steedspeed mani and corksport s pipe for the oem. Just need to get the j-pipe on and button everything up and the exhaust side is done for now. Will work on it more on Saturday.

CHIQLES- love the black,sometimes i wish my car was black

installed my defouler and cleared my CEL. hoping to get the MSP to pass inspection lol. oh the joys of having a catless exhaust.

corksport has some stiffer ones you may want to look into

I'll take some final pictures and when this car is 100% done it'll get an end-to-end rebuild thread too. The plate is pretty tucked up under the car. Since this is the 03 and not 03.5, The plate might show a gap below the bumper since there isn't that 03.5 front lip. Problem though, CS didn't drill the front holes correctly so I have to drill them out myself.

looking forward to seeing you in a functional setup ilovewheels

oh i see, well shouldnt be a difficult task. i like the idea of a skid plate so your pics help

looking forward to seeing you in a functional setup ilovewheels

im hoping all works out well
Quick questions for anyone who does autox or hpde. what tires do you guys recommend for such an event or aggressive street/daily driving. I've been lurking multiple forums reading up but haven't come to a decision yet. So far i have been looking at falken 615k/rs-3/s drives/nt05s.

 

[o0n8]

a lot of people like the new bg rivals

 

[Cleverfrog]

Ive got michelin pilot super sports. Ive autox'd with them twice now and love them. They'll last longer for daily and autox than the bg rivals and from what ive heard the rivals hydroplane pretty bad in VERY wet conditions. I havent had that issue with the pss tires.

i enjoyed my falken azenis 615 k's. they had good cold grip too. look at direzzas z1 star specs too

i heard the z2's are good too. but really that tread wear will be fast if you street them. just depends on how long you want the tires to last.

 

[o0n8]

z1's aren't bad for aggresive street driving , I had them and I felt they were just ok in the wet. Didn't do an auto-x event with them

 

[VIPMSP]

looks like RFP1s are the new trend

[VIPMSP]

they look good tho, esp. when stanced.

thats what im afraid of, running thru my tires rather quickly.I know theres a trade off between street and track and thats the middle ground im trying to find

looks like RFP1s are the new trend

ya seems like they have been popping up alot lately, cant deny its a good lightweight wheel tho especially for the price

 

[ajkulish]

615ks then. i think they are still 200 tread wear

 

[ajkulish]

i know there are people running 615ks out there who get a year and a half out of them

 

[Bonks]

thanks guys

cant deny its a good lightweight wheel tho especially for the price

and what he said ^ still like them even tho there're everywhere
