Thanks, I've still got plenty more to go, just doing things as I get the money

So after having the new clutch and motor mounts sitting in my room for 2 months I finally got to putting them on this past weekend, finished it up today and the car drives a whole lot better now

 

[msp14]

Well I haven't really done much to the msp lately because of money issues but I finally got around to gettif new piping and getting my blow off valve on

Not a really great picture of it but it'll work for now

Thanks guys, so I've finally decided that I'm going to go forged. I've got a rod bearing ticking ad it's been doing this for a while now so I've decided since I've got to drop the whole motor why not go forged. I'm aware of the costs so it'll def take time. First I've got to fix the b2000 so I can make that my dd then all my money will be dumped into forging my engine. Plus more boost makes it even better!

Good news!

...and bad, but good news on your future forge build

Got some parts at the house just waiting to go on the car, I'm going to wait until I have everything I need and just put everything on at once.

K1 rods with wiseco 8.5.1 compression pistons.

Pope 3" downpipe

nice. cant believe i never commented on this build. i approve (2thumbs)

we will be going forged together.....just need to get the front end of your car reprayed

 

[msp14]

Haha thank you kind sir, I'm hoping to have it done by the end of January, the end of February for sure, well not done just on the road pushing more than stock boost haha

 

[msp14]

Oh and yes I do need to get it re-painted really bad, after the forged part that's next on my list of things to do

 

[SCMP3]

Nice

I Finally have something to update my build thread with! Evo8 wheels painted pearl white are on the car finally.

Still saving money up for the build which will hopefully happen within the next month, fingers crossed

blue and white combo FTW. that's what my mazdaspeed protege had, but she is no longer with us.

 

[msp14]

They make it stand out haha and sorry to hear about that, this is my second one... Lol

 

[msp14]

Ok I just messed all my pictures up by deleting all my pictures in photobucket... Wasn't thinking on that one, I'll work on getting pictures back up here

 

[SCMP3]

Very nice

Picked up a xc rc hood a couple weeks ago and finally got it on the car

Also picked up a pair of dg eyelids but I have to file down the hood before I can put them on. The hood rubs the top of the headlights a little. I'm also picking up another motor to drop in my car while I build the motor that's in my car right now, should be a lot happening to the car within the next couple of months

sick, i love that hood man. and white evo8 rims looks sick with the laser blue color and cf hood combo.
