What have you done to your MSP today?

Yea like being forced to buy a new radiator so I could avoid refilling my overflow tank every 2 days.

Mine does that as well, but its not on the ground, Head gasket is good. The only place i can find it leaking is under where the resevoir has that hose for overpressure. So i assume my water pump is going out and its getting too hot and boiling out cause my compression is fine and theres no smoke or coolant in my oil. (already did thermostat)

haven't seen you posting in a long while and thought maybe you moved on from the msp. welcome back.

i've only recently starting having the empty overflow syndrome, 89,000 miles now. always had a coolant smell and would lose a bit but never empty like now. i thought it may be the elbow but now you given me something else to think about.

Nope, love my msp. few small issues (non oem parts funny enough), but im at 110k. I havent posted in a long time cause my life went down the drain, and when i got screwed by the losers in canada that were making my turbo mani i decided i needed a break. Now things are getting back on track so i decided id come back and see what shaking.
 
For all you people who doubt....do the math

Comes out to 32.5 mpg
 
i usually get like 31-33mpg when i do 80% highway. more around town and less highway i get 28-30mpg. i'm cool with that :)
 
No doubt getting 30+ MPG's frequently is no problem. I will always doubt the speeds that some say they drive at while producing above average mileage. Especially above 70 mph. I know I can't drive 80+ and get 30's. 34 is my best going 70.
80+ I consistently get 26 mpg's which is still acceptable.

Enjoy this guys... I used to get 18 city 23 highway, and likely will be closer to 16 city, 20 highway now. LOL And thats assuming I don't switch over to E85.
 
Not Steedspeed I hope?

no no. he seems reputable to me. this was a company somone i knew owned. they were gonna make a mani so i could sell it here. some members here were nice enough to lend me parts (head, mani, etc) to send to them and they basically said they decided not to make it (for no reason at all and after months of leading me on), and that they threw the parts out since they were "junk". so i got really screwed cause i had to pay to ship it all and those poor members lost their parts
