I Helicoiled the head for the exhaust manifold studs and installed my new, stainless 40mm studs last night. While it was ******* snowing. I've got to disconnect my oil return line, then it'll be going back together with the Steedspeed. Hopefully get a clutch by the end of the year and an FTC in January, and, assuming I don't break anything else between now and then, she'll be runnin' down the road again. I wanted to sell the 8 and get a CX7 this spring, but a new car will have to wait until Summer or fall of 2015. I thought about selling the MSP to use as a down payment on my replacement daily driver, but it wouldn't be worth it. Even now, with it built and bolt-ons I can't imagine I'd get more than $4k for it. Yet a slammed late-90's/early-00's, Plasti-dipped Honda Civic can pull $5-6k around here. It's freakin' insane.
i just don't understand those Honda guys all that well. they got some sweet rides but there's like 500 all the same. i dont see myself selling my msp anytime soon. if i just go to board with it ill just go ahead and gut it and go full race car status with it. and preferio i might be able to help you out with a ftc. might half to wait till February but i might be able to cut you a good deal.going to haltech on mine at tax time haha. theres no tax time really its extra race car parts time.
I also paid 5k for mine but it came with a steedspeed v2, Brand new 626 intake manifold, test pipe, brand new radiator, dual gauge cluster cover, foglight delete covers, supertone horns, injen cai and that's about all I can recall lol
Might have to do the same then to find deals anywhere near what you're getting.

The manifold is ready to be picked up! I now have EVERYTHING ready for install. Hope to leave the shop an hour or two early so I can have that much more daylight/warmth to get it complete tonight.
Also, had a Ford Fusion come into the shop (which isn't a regular occurrence because I work for a medium/heavy duty truck shop now) and the fleet is requesting tires even though the Goodyear Eagle LS-2's are in good shape with a few miles left on them. Was in the market for tires for the 8, so I think I'll throw these on to buy me some more time which also means that money can go towards the MSP.

Well I guess mine WAS modded...hahahahahahha. It had some "sweet" Sparco, NOS, etc. stickers on the other side too.

Omg that's hideous. Lol.
I would sure like to know too...unless it was custom fab.
I agree but I figured they might be some with no scoop lol.
