What have you done to your MSP today?

[TheDirtyGoatee]

Yeah, link FAIL!

Also, I love my MSP. Of course the only thing I can really compare myself to that is around me is a 1998 GTI VR6 Turbo running in the 500 hp range. No matter what I do, mine's slower than that.

any help guys, need to know if i should prepare to shell out money for a starter and not a battery

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

take your battery to autozone and have them test it...if the battery is good then you know to look elsewhere

 

[mgerst1]

im pretty sure it is the battery, it is old as hell and died on me in the summer and had to be recharged. ill try that, i just dont see how the car can start and run fine last night aroun 10:45 pm but not start at all this morning. temp this morning around 6 degrees

not sure what the concentration is but i had a winter tune-up done, had the system flushed and everything. if it froze the block is the car dead?

 

[dstmsp03]

no.. its probably not that... just dont rule out other things.. test the battery first

 

[mgerst1]

i will i just need to get home first to do so.

 

[mgerst1]

BEFORE YOU INSTALL THEM...check to see if the problem with the passenger sidemount inserts is corrected. When I got mine, the instructions had me put the inserts on the wrong sides of the passenger mount. There are two pieces, and the instructions had them switched by mistake. Mine tore within a few weeks. (notcool)

 

[Wagonbacker9]

If you look at the way the inserts are designed to fit.... theres only one way that makes sense...
