What have you done to your MSP today?

[rally2003]

Is it difficult to do or is it just time consuming?

Both depends on the panel. What sucks is the car is prepared for paint, but I don't have a nice spray gun or money for paint right now. Otherwise I would have just repainted the car. This is just temporary for a year or two, maybe longer. Depends when I can get some extra funding. I kinda wanted to get my cf stuff done before painting the car. If you look me up on fb or pm me your cell number I can send you some pics that I have right now.

quick question for anyone who does any spirited driving or hpde... in my search for tires what size do you guys like better, a 225/45/17(more selection) or 235/40 tire? im running these on a 17x9 wheel. looking on picking some up this week. not really sure if 45 series would be bad or good depending on the situation

this will give you an idea: http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

Not sure I would run anything under a 245 on 9" wide on track

 

[rally2003]

I run 255 on 17x9 front and 225 on 17X7.5 rear. helps with rotation and pulls when you want it to.

 

[ilovewheels]

oh really a 255? ok thanks for the quick response. Im still learning track style set ups(former tirestretch junky) Im goin to look into a wider tire then. Are you running a 45 or 40 series tire(rally2003)

 

[rally2003]

255/40/17 +22 and 225/45/17 +48. They are the same height that way and are only about .4 inches taller than stock. You might need a spacer depending on suspension clearance.

Got the car back from the trans shop and it is nice to drive it again, the clutch rattles louder than before so I will be returning it to them, hopefully they can fix it

 

[ilovewheels]

oh that's good and bad..hopefully they'll fix it.

on a side note, I went ahead and picked up 2 Dunlop tires in 245/40/17(I will be picking up 2 more wider tires for the rear next payday). thanks (rally2003) for the quick info. They are being installed as I type this, so i'm excited to see how they'll look and fit now... meatyfitment FTW(nana)

 

[rally2003]

They should poke out of the oem fender about a 1 1/2".

Is anyone running a Pope and an AWR?

 

[hornsfan10609]

Damn, sorry to hear that man. This is probably the largest MSP community, we need an MSP specific instagram page.

 

[ilovewheels]

Agreed.. Not really sure where else I can go for my msp fix

 

[hornsfan10609]

I hate being broke, but it is also good for me. So many things I want to buy but can't afford but none of which I truly need.

i know the feeling lol. took me 3 years to pay off my msp. 4 years to get a forged built engine. 3 years to find a turbolife i can afford. still paying off my cf fenders, hood, and trunk. and now after a little over 4 years getting an upgraded turbo (hopefully) lol.

just read thru your msp build(2thumbs)

random question...does it matter where i mount my ait sensor( I believe thats what it is)? l have it near my intake in the bay but I am just curious if it makes a difference if I mount it in a colder air area(random thought)

i always just let mine hang in the engine bay. i know some people that have mounted it in a cooler area though.

AWR WHAT? I have a Pope and a bunch of AWR. I think I almost have everything AWR possible

I assume oil pan, can't think of anything else that might effect a dp
