What have you done to your MSP today?

Dude, WTF? Where in Mechanicsburg are you? I have a ton of friends up there and are up in that area all the time. I used to go to school at Penn State Harrisburg and used to cruise the Pike in my old Protege all the time. I'm gonna be up there in the next weekend or two to take some photos near the steel mills in High Spire and Steelton, you should come along. I'd love to do some rolling shots on the Pike too.

Shoot me a PM sometime and we'll exchange #s

never drove to high spire or steelton, but i work at bobby rahal honda which is right on the pike, so basically i'm cruising it daily. keep in mind that i've only had my msp for about a year now so you probly didn't see me. before i had it was my spec v, and before that was my yellow mp3. the only other mp3 i've seen on the pike is blue. i think a chic drives it, kinda ratted out.

Is he the one that lived over in pottsville area? I would pass hin around the sheetz there all the time but we never meet up. I always drive the MP3 up there. The roads up there are too much fun not too. (drive2)Just the inerstate ride up sucks. Dam I-95 and washington traffic. There are some good roads and phoito spots up there. We all got to get together sometime.

No, the guy I knew lived up near Hummelstown at the time. He's now a honda rat, but we hung out and took pictures once in a while. Let me know when your next trip up is and we'll all coordinate something.

Yeah, Highspire and steelton are kinda sketchy, but the industrial look is pretty badass though. We'll go in the daytime... lol Plus with the airport right over there, I know of some great locations.

My buddy has a blue SE-R, debadged and kinda ricey sounding (but fast). I don't remember seeing a yellow MP3 when I was up there, but people told me about it. I know the Pike has died from a few years ago and all, but I still check it out every time I'm in town. There used to be a guy with a Titanium MSP up there 2 years ago, but he couldn't drive at all. I took him to about 80mph in my NA 2000 Sport20 wannabe while on snow tires up there by BRH...

Lemme know your schedule and we'll work something out.

thanks for the comments everybody. the black RH's aren't a for sure thing yet, but it's on the brain. and the whole deal with the sparks is because the tech was cutting off my POS exhaust so he could fit it in his trunk to take to a salvage yard or some place like that.

Its a great pic, but I'd have suggested that he remove the exhaust system FIRST, then hack it up away from the car... jus' sayin'.....(dunno)

Funny considering the subtitle under your screen name... (fuoops)

It's all good man, we got excited... Uhhhhhm I ordered my ATP WGA on Monday and scheduled to get my new tires put on for Friday.
 
Stfu No but seriously in order to finsh my new manifold install I wanna be clear on the manifold bolt size We lost 3 bolts and one nut in the process.

What are the bolt sizes and the nut size I tthink the bolts are m1.8x25x40.
Wanna be sure on that and the nut size? ??????????????????????????????
 
Stud or bolt ? There's a difference. Stud= M8x1.25 not sure about the length though.
Bolts may be the same, but not sure.

I too need to know the size of the bolts that tighten the lower portion of the manifold to the head. Anyone ?

Boomshakalaka!!!

So what if I like to threadjack....

Today, I was on the way home and I was following a dude who was hauling an open trailer with a plethora of s***. I'm talking he had stuff I didn't think existed anymore like Clap Ons. Anyhow, so I was just cruising behind him on the 2 lane road when I see this hunk of something (don't know what it was but didn't want to find out) so I jerked the wheel left (as the object was on the far right) and barely missed the object. Dude behind me wasn't as fortunate (and didn't have the skills and the car with the sickest handling around (butthump)). Long story short, I pulled over at the next subdivision and waited a minute. I didn't want any more surprises. I spent the rest of the drive going like 10 under so as to be ready for any more chunks.

So what I'd do to it? I drove the hell out of it. I love the handling capabilities.
 
test fit woot!
