Talk me out of it!?

Keep the MSP and if you feel the need for speed save your pennies and by a 370Z, man I love those cars. The MSP will always have a place in my heart though. MSP for life, thick or thin.

Hell yes! MSPs are like women, they a pain in the ass sometimes but in the end you love them to death.

[christiansMSP]

i dont know what i was thinking! you alll are right.. Msp for life thats the reason i bought my baby, everyones gotta be reminded at how rare these cars are... represent!

 

[thecrash91]

just get some nice suspension setups, and take the car a look over top to bottom, anything thats from a p5 or reg protege get aftermarket! all the more reason to mod!!

 

[Spiced MSP]

(naughty) got that right, I love my MSP

 

[christiansMSP]

true... i have a simple question.. why must one be dedicated to running coilovers?

 

[thecrash91]

idfk what your talking about, but they are sweeeet from what i hear, i wanna get a set of BCs and set them real tight. =]

 

[christiansMSP]

lol i heard someone say you have to be dedicated to run coilovers

About the reliability of the motor in the MSP. Around me I can find a FS-DE for under 500 bucks with under 100k miles. If I ever have a blown motor it will not cost much to get the car back on the road. I'm betting that the MS3 motor costs substantially more than a replacement motor for the MSP.

I like the look of the ms3 and it is for sure a fun car to drive. Testdrove one for s**** and giggles but stuck with the msp. Definitely felt heavier.
The whole reason i traded my p5 was to have somehing unique. Everyone and Their dog has an ms3 in its....4 production years. So much for limited production ha.

Maybe im lucky but i havent had a single problem with the msp and its all stock aside from the stage 2 clutch i put in and awr mounts. Its not like i drive like grandma. Just not like an idiot launching it everywhere.

 

[christiansMSP]

yeah i never really launch the car.. but i must say i do love getting into boost with it..

i really haven't had any problems with it either.!

I have heard that running coilovers makes the ride a lot stiffer and you can feel every bump in the road

yeah, i had BCs on my MSP and they are stiff as hell even on the "softest" setting. bumps and rattles are amplified but the handling is excellent.

Yea i heard that as well. Anyone know of thats true?

 

[Valk]

uhhhh somewhat. my friends bccoils are terrible for a street car. if the car is gonna be tracked a lot awesome, but if your driving to and from work every day with coilovers, swaybars, low profile tires... **** no lol.

I wouldnt want it much stiffer than the stock msp ride comfort for a DD. im running 40's with stock suspension and you feel everything. cant wait for illuminas and tien combo =)

 

[christiansMSP]

yeah then i guess coilovers is outta the question...

i was thinking illumanis and teins.. that would probably be amazing...

does anyone on the fourm have that setup? pics please

 

[christiansMSP]

that was a dumb question to ask lol

but indeed lets see some pics
