Please research this alternative, don't take my word for it.

hmmmm. never thought of that. the gt2560 or did you mean the Garrett GT2860RS (Disco Potato)? just making sure.

DazedAndConfused · 01-28-2011, 11:54 PM

hellion...please go to mt.net and study.

I've actually heard of pretty good success with the 2871, so I will be starting with it and 14psi and as I add built items I will gradually build boost higher too.

Got a hard top today! It's black cherry mica, so has to painted. I'm thinking either black with red flake or just the factory vrm

I wonder how long it would take to paint with that lol.

Civiclydumped · 01-29-2011, 06:49 PM

That's a pretty uncommon factory color, and it'd almost be a shame to respray it, so you might want to list the HT for a trade (+cash?) for one in a more ubiquitous color like black or red.

I dunno. That is a lot of trouble, just throwing it out there.

Keeping my fingers crossed for sure.

They covered my top when it got slashed and i used the money for the radio they stole to score a hardtop out of the deal too. lol

My dad has a 05 black cherry. Beautiful color! I give him crap for owning a purple miata tho haha

I vote for black

Civiclydumped · 01-30-2011, 02:45 AM

I will more than likely paint it vrm. It's not like I plan on ever selling it without selling the car.

The lack of blind spots in the rear view is pretty epic... just sayin. Lol

New/Used shoes. I wanted to be different so I stuck 17" and Extra-heavy wheels

BC Racing, GTC's 17x7

Just dropped in Greddy Tube/Fin FMIC, Vishnu CAI-Box, Vishnu Australian Injectors... Waiting on Xede to return from Begi with latest firmware. I doubt that the Xede will clear the P0300 CEL Code the ECU is now kicking out

They don't look overly dook. My buddy just got some 18" GTC's for his Supra. I think they look more at home on bigger cars, but your car is somehow pulling them off. But I can't say i'd ever go bigger than 16"s on my car personally.

VagaXt · 02-01-2011, 02:10 AM

Long shot, but anyone got a spare set of MSM halfshafts for sale? I need a set for my spare MSM Torsen.

brandini · 02-01-2011, 06:08 AM

How do you have an msm and no fogs? with those side skirts?

Bigger IC sometimes makes it hard to have the fogs in. I personally would hate not having fogs but only cause I daily my msm.

One of the fogs was cracked so I decided to go with blanks instead. As for the sills... ? I got them off ebay

Civiclydumped · 02-01-2011, 09:58 AM

I want a set of the "small" skirts. It completes the look imo. I don't see why they didn't come from the factory with em.

DazedAndConfused · 02-01-2011, 10:16 AM

I also have the small skirts on my MSM, but I have the NB2 front end with no fogs instead of the MSM front that I see so much in here

Civiclydumped · 02-01-2011, 10:23 AM

Fresh NB - what's wheels are on your car? They look awesome.

how many cans do you think it would take to redo a lip?

Sweets · 02-01-2011, 12:06 PM

Those aren't cans... they are tiny touch up bottles. 0.44 oz each.

Those are XXR 521 in flat black.

Sweets · 02-01-2011, 12:13 PM

I think they are 16x8 +20 with 20mm adapter.

You're correct. You can fish that info out of his thread. I was going off of whats available right now from an online retailer.

Mazduh · 02-01-2011, 02:36 PM

Blah so much to do so little time and money! GAAAHH

Verwah · 02-01-2011, 02:48 PM

Tell me about it. My next steps involve multi-thousand dollar instant investments. I'm starting to doubt my car's original fate of FMII power and fastback. I might sell the car before those things happen in order to start the next phase of my life.
