What have you done to your MSP today?

[Focus]

oh, so the rear turn signal lights are on the same circuit (which actually makes perfect sense now lol) as the fronts? so hooking them up there will fix it?.. also I just hook up the resistors, 1 positive and 1 neg. right?.. but thanks I will do that tomorrow when I get back from work.. so far I love the lights, look great, I just wish I had them in 8000k HID color, but white is great too because it distinguishes them from the headlights.. thanks for the help

Yup, 1 side to positive the other to negative !!

so for helping a friend return his black 03 msp to stock tonight(pulling insteerts out of mm and redoing the studs from the spipe to turbo) i got something aweosme fo helping...... i got a free set of axr clunk fix brackets!!!!!

[disturbedfan121]

i detailed mine today and took some pictures with my new phone, i'll post em up later

 

[Valk]

hmmm was gonna look into applying this ceramic fill s*** to my manifold and found both the bolts on the ps side either gone or sheared... goooooooood damnit lol. this might explain my banshee screamer. how do i pull out the studs =(?

 

[mgerst1]

upgraded my spare tire today (forgot about the brackets in the bottom, will cut them out when i have a chance and apply a strip of foam around the cut edges and the screwheads, until then i cant rock the fiberboard cover) :

 

[MSP-2003.5]

every MSP i have looked at exhaust manifold on has at least one bolt either broke or missing, including my own. most common i've seen is upper left, near ac compressor. on mine upper left was broke, 1 to right and 1 below, were missing. craftsman easyout kit could possibly remove it, but radiator would probably needed to be out and ac compressor moved out of the way

 

[Wagonbacker9]

102K on it, all mani bolts still present and in tact.

 

[o0n8]

missing upper left bolt, will replace eventually

 

[Smitty's MSP]

bolt on mine went missing too, and the dealership charged me an arm and a leg for a new gasket... not to mention the :bs: price of the WGA (bang)

 

[Valk]

im missing both left side bolts. one looks like it broke off and is flush with the manifold, other one looks like its missing entirely. ill measure the depth of the hole to make sure thats the case and it didn't break off somewhere in there and fall out.

looking at buying a set of arp exhaust studs but dunno if its worthwhile as i need a new manifold too due to the crack.. i have a manifold gasket already so thats cool.

not looking forward to removing it though since all the turbo lines are hard lines hah.


sucks though. down the road i had wanted to switch out to a t3 setup and was gonna get the t3 steedspeed. dont really wanna get the t25 version and have to try to sell it later =\

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

I'm missing a bolt AGAIN... ARP studs are getting ordered Monday

 

[SpeedAdiction20]

ya how the hell are you guys breaking or missing bolts?, one of mine was loose.. once, but other than that, I've never broken or lost any.. crazy....

[Spiced MSP]

I had the upper left corner loose and the one under it broken. Tried tightening the upper left one and broke that one with almost no effort at all. Had a shop replace them all. Don't know what brand though. Probably some generic ones from the local auto parts store.

But what did I do to it today...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!! Drove the wife's slobalt today to see Inception

 

[SpeedAdiction20]

^^ ya I have some SS bolts in all of them, with lock washers, but a little off topic, Inception is insane, I loved that movie... also tomorrow I will put in the resisters so I don't have my hyperflashing LED turn signal lights, I love the white/amber switch overs

 

[livelyjay]

Replaced front left spindle, hub, and axle over the weekend. There's no more clicking so my guess is the axle was bad. The alignment is real bad and has been for a while. My front left tire has inner wear really bad indicating improper toe and camber. Maybe that's why it drove so well on the auto-x courses
