What have you done to your MSP today?

Got my head gasket and the IM spacer kit. Unfortunately I'm also running a fever so nothing got done.
 
Looked the car today and all of the couplers and vacuum lines are fine. When you turn the car off it sounds like the bearing is grinding when the turbine is spinning to a stop. Pretty sure I'm going to need another turbo.

I have a 28 that you could buy.... Or maybe the stocker if I were to put the 28 on mine. I haven't driven or worked on my car is so freaking long....
 
Just received my BRAND NEW welded LSD today and there are 3 bad weld spot with cracks in it and left over weld drops all over the LSD. Piss to the max..
Fk.ing A... gonna play some CODBOPS 2 and kill some people!!!

Wahoo! I finally secured a stock MSP turbo in decent condition.
I recently got a new impact wrench and impact socket set which I'll be using to replace the turbo (my stock one blew its seals), all exhaust gaskets, and fix a leaking EGR pipe issue. Then it's on to a new Exedy clutch, Fidanza flywheel, H&R springs, Tokico struts, rear sway bar bushings, and new strut mounts. I'm so excited.

Project:Comeback is underway! I don't think I will ever get rid of this car.

i'm on xbox.

damn i am in need of my car very very bad so i just gave it to the shop i'll have my car back this sunday.. dont want to wait another month... :)
 
So the turbo isn't leaking oil in the intake or exhaust side. Turbo spins fine with no major play. The actuator is free and isn't stuck, unless it was stuck before I took off the turbo. The only other thing I can think of is the BPV because all of the couplers and vacuum line where fine. I'm thinking about just putting it all back together and seeing if anything changed. Any other suggestions?
 
Finally installed my SCE copper t2 flange gasket on my 28... The idiots that but the steedspeed on broke a flange bolt..and 2 nuts back them selves out....no more hot under hood temps.....lol My buddy ruined my radiator, so i ut in a aluminum civic half radiator :-( .... Got it for $50 off of craigdlist brand new... It actually fit very nice.... But has to go when my fmic gets here...god only knows when!!! But for now its my Hondaspeed protege.....hahaha...
 
so i plan on doin my first track day at a local track for a time attack night..anyone here track their car? any suggestions on set up besides good brake pads and fluid changes? the track is mostly ran by hondas and the occasional miata or subaru. and one pic of the hooptie
