MP3 is best bang for your buck,yellow ones are EXTEREMELY RARE...I wouldnt pay a penny more than $8000 though...they don't book higher than that retail,unless it is absolutely FLAWLESS...easiest to find would be an ES though...99-00 is faster stock...and I believe the connecting rods are a bit stronger(only because they are shorter)...appearance mods are a bit more difficult to come by than an 01+, though not impossible


Matty instead of a whole MSP tranny,why not just get the axles and the LSD, they can be more easily had and probably cheaper....the internals and gearing are no different than yours

Car & Driver refered to the orange MSP color as "Radioactive Popsicle". My personal favorite has to be the MP3 blue though.

I saw the MSP tranny's in junkyards going for $250 if I pulled them myself.....just need to buy a decent clutch!
