What have you done to your MSP today?

Today I tried to install my Mishimoto radiator until the top bolt for the thermostat housing broke off. I pulled the entire turbo and manifold assembly to remove the thermostat housing and lines and after 2 hours I couldn't get the bolt out so I dropped it off at a machine shop to have it drilled and tapped. Car will be back together tomorrow, I HATE when a simple 2 hour job turns into a 2 day ordeal. Anyways the Mishimoto is nice and the two 12" fans fit perfect even with the straight water neck kit and my hotpipe routing.

On a good note I am looking at a 3" (hopefully catless) stainless J and midpipe and a 'trunk brace' from a former Spicy orange owner tomorrow
 
Buddy made me a water neck spacer to get some clearance for the downpipe.

Yeah so my whole front suspension is being replaced and my passenger side rear as well .. so fare with just the 2 wheels and stabilizer bar and sway bar link... $1600 ... That's not including all the other fun stuff....
 
makes sure they are getting the msp replacement parts and not the reg protege parts
 
those of you on 18" wheels, hows the ride? if I go with a 18x8 wheel looks like I need 235/35/18 tires which dont' give alot of sidewall
 
I have 18's on my P5 right now. It's a bit rough. My sidewalls are little bigger than that though. Same tire size as an MS6.
 
Has anyone had any issues with their ABS? On Monday the ABS and the brake warning light came on and stayed on. The next day all was good driving to work and home. Left to get the kids and boom the light came back on. It seams to do it only when I start the car and not while I'm driving, but that changed when I was driving into work today. This time I heard the ABS kicked in while stopping at a light (and it was not a hard stop and the roads are not slick) and then the lights came on again and stayed on. It wouldn't surprise me if when I go home the lights are off.

Anyone have any idea what it could be?
 
Check your fluid level in the reservior.
