What have you done to your MSP today?

[mgerst1]

I drilled out the rivits on the original latch, waited about 5 months for xc to send me a new latch with out holes drilled out. (that seemed to be the hardest part for some reason) I lined up the new latch to fit the factory measurements, trying best still fit the holes drilled by xc (didn't want a bunch of holes make the area weak), test fit. After the test fit i had to move the latch from the inside of the hood to the outside and adjust the release on the car. Then i used an epoxy on the latch and stainless steel bolts, nylon locking nuts and washers, some red thread locker and cut the old latch end plate to use on the inside part as extra washers.

here's an in the process pic, i don't have the rest loaded yet

I also had to widen the the top ban bottom sections so the latch could go into the correct spot

Cool but i also meant what did you do about paint or not painting lol

I had a guy pull up next to me at a stoplight in his older f150 and was like "hey man is that a mazdaspeed protege?" And when I said yeah he was like that's awesome hit it one time for me. So I did lol. But what I love even more is when I'm driving down the road and another msp flys up next to me and is so surprised to see my car. Or when a es or dx or p5 for that matter pulls up next to me and asks me what a mazdaspeed peotege is and where did I get it

I always love seeing other 3rd gen BJs, I saw a spicy the other day and the driver was looking at me funny because I was going nuts, I NEVER see spicys and they are my favorite. He probably wouldn't of thought I was so crazy if I wasn't driving my Bullitt.

On a side note (and more on topic) i'm gonna flush the coolant today in my MSP.
