    Five years later...

    It's hard to believe it's been that long since I moved from georgia. Some of you all know who I am but see alot of new people here, too. I no longer have the wrx, have a civic si sedan now. Looking to sell it because it's an 09 with 4600 miles on it-yeah it just sits around. I'm going to try...

    My 06 wrx tr drag racing time

    Just thought I'd share my latest time with my wrx tr. I ran a 13.4 @ 99 mph with a 1.8 60 foot. My car is stage II, which is just a Tanabe turboback exhaust and Enginuity ecu reflash. The trap speed and 60 foot time shows how the awd helps the launch and also kills the top end. Coming soon is a...

    Going to drive in auto-x for first time

    Since the LA section of the forum is quite dead, I figured I'd actually get a response here. I'm going Sunday to my first autocross here in LA, and also drive in one for the first time. I'm not sure how I will do, the main thing I'm concerned about is not getting lost in all the cones. So, if...

    MSM to WRX...

    Here is a couple pics of my new 06 WRX TR. I traded the msm for it, reasons being I needed something more practical, and the impreza rides 100x better on these crap roads here. The miata was a very fun car, this car can't touch the handling of the mx-5, but power is a different story. It feels...

    My VR MSM, random EVO MR & Ferrari F430

    Decided to take a few pics of my car, leaving the parking lot I saw the mr and the brand new f430. It still had the drive out tag. It was almost dark when I left so the pics aren't great. The Ferrari is a six-speed, too. Hell yes, someone still knows how to drive a manual with their exotic.

    Hello from New Orleans

    Well, been here a few months now and thought I would check in. Being here makes me appreciate how nice georgia roads are. Here it is all flat and straight, boring driving at it's finest. I'm thinking about going to the florida meet, it's a fairly long drive from here, but I may just go anyways...

    Exhaust shop-test pipe

    Anybody know of any exhaust places locally that will make a test pipe, i.e. remove the cat. converter? Legally you can't remove it, but if you go to the right place they will do it i hope. I think it's who you know in this situation.

    Amp connection to stock bose headunit

    I want to add my JL 250/1 amp from my msp to the stock bose hu in my miata. Is it possible to get the same results from a line output converter vs. the preouts from the msp? I saw in one of 1sty's other posts the David Lavone loc was recommended. Is that all I need to do this? Thanks for the...

    FM MSM Downpipe ?'s

    After looking at pics of the fm down pipe it appears to be the same diameter as the stock one. Am I correct about this or is it actually bigger? If it is the same I may just have an exhaust shop replace my cat with a high-flow one, or just remove it completely. The quicker spool up is probably...

    GI- JL Audio stuff

    Thought I would see if there is any local interest for this stuff first. I have a JL audio 250/1 monoblock amp and JL 10W3V2 sub in a ported box for sale. I'm looking to get 300 for both of them, both barely used and in perfect condition. I'm selling because I got a miata and it won't fit in the...

    noise from transmission

    Over the past weak a whining noise has developed in my car, I'm pretty sure from the transmission area. It stops if I push the clutch in while in neutral, but makes the same noise if I'm rolling with the clutch pushed in and the car in a gear. Has anyone else had this problem, it may be the...

    15x7 Rota Slips fitment Msp

    I look on Honda-Tech every now and then and noticed they are having a group buy for 15x7 Rota slipsteams. The are the Type R bolt pattern, 5x114.3. First off, will these even work on a msp with 215-50-15 series tires? Second, I've heard there are issues with the centerbore of some aftermarket...

    Is water cooling really necessary?

    Are the coolant lines on the msp turbo absolutely necessary, or can they be bypassed? The reason I'm asking is mine are leaking and my car smells like coolant all the time. I would take it to the dealer, but that means I would have to remove all my aftermarket stuff. The last time it was in for...

    Is increasing centerbore a big deal?

    I'm looking at a set of 15 inch Integra type r wheels for my msp but it appears the centerbore is too small. Is it difficult to get them drilled out to the bigger size? If it isn't, any local places that can do this? thanks for the help.

    Mazdaspeed Miata turbo upgrade options?

    I thinking seriously about trading my msp in for a msm, but i'm wondering about the stock turbo that comes on the miata. I've read it's a IHI RBH5, also I've heard it runs out of steam on the top end. Now knowing a good amount about Subaru's, i know people who own wrx's use IHI turbos that come...

    testing waters: MSP wheels for sale

    I'm getting some new wheels in a couple of weeks and wanted to see if anyone is interested in a set of 03.5 msp racing harts. They are in perfect condition, no scrapes, no curb marks, no b.s. The stock bridgestone potenzas have about 60-70% tread left. I'm hoping to sell local, but will ship if...

    Is this a good deal?

    I've came across a set of volk te-37's for sale, custom gunmetal color. The guy wants $1,000 for them, without tires. They are 15x6.5, 38 offset. I know thats alot of money for wheels, but they are te-37's, one of the strongest forged wheels for road use. What does everyone think? Thanks, Ron.

    Help-J-pipe installed, Insanely raspy

    I recently put the Circuit Sports J-pipe, or cat delete pipe on my msp(very nice piece btw), and now the exhaust note is really raspy when on the gas. I currently have a 2.5 straight pipe from the original cat location back, so now it's basically just a pipe from the s-bend back to the rear of...
