I have a set of AWR coilovers from my MSP that are hanging around in my basement and need to go. Before installing them you will probably want to have the spacers on the spherical bearings (on the front camber plates) dimentioned and remachined to ensure they are not loose. I had the spacers...

After spending most of the afternoon claying, washing, applying, buffing...I think it turned out well. There is minimal streaking, although I found some places that need a little more work in the night sky. With the sun on it it's hard to see anything but a reflection :) They're big so I'll...

Parts Installed: Coilover kit consisting of Bilstein inserts and Eibach ERS springs. (275 lb/in front and 325 lb/in rear) Vender: AWR Anthony Woodford Racing Ease of installation: Once I had all the correct parts and had gotten used to taking my suspension apart 5 or 6 times, installation...

Today a friend of mine and I went out with a Escort Passport GT2 G-Timer to see what my car could do. He has a ~400hp 1G DSM that put down 1G lateral, 1G Braking, and 0.84 Acceleration G's. I know I have no chance of matching his acceleration g's, but I was fairly confident I could pull 1G...

I'm not trying to step on anyone elses toes by setting this up, but a few of us were interested in going in August. I will be there this Sunday afternoon with a few friends (one confirmed, possibly 3 total). Anyone who wants to join is more then welcome to meet up. We're always looking for...

So I've been stuck in Toronto (Brampton) for work for the last 2 days and it looks like I'll be here until at least Monday, I've already seen a Spicy MSP drive by my hotel, and there's a blue P5 with rims and blue tinted license plate covers where I've been working. Is that anyone here? What...

These were just too nice to keep to myself. I love this stuff.(rockon) Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3

Hope you're not on dial up.

Has anyone measured stock MSP wheel rates and lever ratios and what are they? I tried taking some measurements today and my results seem odd. To find my actual wheel rate I used a scale on a jack. With the car supported on jackstands I compressed the suspension 1" and read the scale. I did...

There is an awful lot of worthless posts on this forum. Some posts that could actually be informative but they get clogged with "bump for updates" and "Subscribble." Many times informative posts can get lost and the same question gets asked a few times. This also keeps people from searching for...

Exactly as the title says. I did 4 dyno pulls and on 3 timing was pulled at various points. I allowed 15-20 minutes between runs with a big fan blowing on the engine/intercooler/radiator to cool down. So how does the ECU determine whether to pull timing or not? Is it just the air intake...

Last weekend I washed my car and noticed a dimple in the rear quarter panal. At first I was pissed, thinking someone dinged me. But on the other side of the car there is the exact same dimple (sime size, shape and location). It's right above my wheel, directly in line with the shock mount. Is...

I mentioned this in another thread and Matthew told me to post it here: Just a thought, another forum I'm on does this: What if we make a Sticky thread for Dyno numbers since they are a commen question around the forums? Have a top 10 list and people can post their mods if they want. The...

Since I cant drive out to the real Proteg Fest a friend of mine and I held our own. I needed someplace to show off my mad tyte graphics package and my custom mods. Ive emptied the shelves at Auto Zone and now nothing can stop me. Hot Import Nights trophies here I come. I have the only Protg in...

First event with the rims and tires and they were great. sm76 co-drove my car and beat me by ~2 seconds so I have some work to do. He took third in STX at the Detroit Region event.
