Very nice!!! Gorgeous, obviously well-loved MSP. I want taillights like yours. Those look cool: stock look but tinted. Where'd you get them? I also totally dig your hood. Question though: do you have to worry about water getting into your engine compartment when it rains? I've been...

It could be warped though. Do you know of a good way to check that? You know, that doesn't seem very likely with a cast iron mani, now that I think of it. I think that shop was trying to job me too. I need to find someone else to do my work, or do it myself. How about that manual anyone...

I'm so sad. Just got back from the drag races and wanted to race my car and couldn't because of this dang exhaust leak. Waaaaa!!!

Thanks. I was just getting ready to ask about torque on that. How about torque on the manifold bolts? Maybe they just need torqued down. My dealership pisses me off sometimes. Sucks to live in a small town with so few options. So, we pulled the heatshield (tin snips worked great to cut...

So I'm in the process of pulling off my heatshield. I have it unbolted but I'm not sure what to do about the spark plug looking thing that's sticking out there (PCV?). Is it safe to screw out of there so I can get the shield all the way off? I don't have a manual so I'm a little iffy on that...

I was just asking about the wrap to temp fix the the cracks til I can get it fixed. I didn't know people did it for other reasons. How about the JB weld idea for a temp fix? Thanks

Thanks. I had looked at that thread before posting this one. It was old and I wasn't sure if any of those manufacturers were still making the manis. I'll check out Steedspeed. They looked pretty cool. How about the tranny attachment question? Is that a good preventative measure. After I...

The dealership quoted me $1075 for stock kit. I'll check out your suggestion. Thanks. I am running with the heatshield. Should I not? I was reading on another topic in this forum where people are JB welding or wrapping the manifold. Is this a good option for a quick fix until I can afford...

So I am getting an intermittent P0171 code and my car is running lean. I take it to the dealership thinking it has an exhaust leak. Lo and behold, they tell me I have a warped and/or cracked mani. I get on this forum and get the impression that the stock mani is famous for doing this. My car...

Get a procharger (air filter sock). You can order them from Injentechnology.com for about $30. It will protect your car from splashes, but don't expect to be able to drive it through a lake. I just ordered one myself because I always say "it's better to be safe than stupid".

This may be a performance car, but it doesn't mean you can drive it at redline all the time. I know of someone who blew their engine at 25,000 miles because he constantly brought the RPM's up to 6k or so before shifting. Duh!!! Not you, him!! I'm not saying that this is what happened with...

Man, there's nothing I hate more than taking my car to the dealership and leaving it with strangers. I recently decided to have my oil changes done at a local quick lube that allows me to sit in my car and they have monitors that show six angles, including under the car, so I can watch what...

You may not like to drive fast as a rule, but, let me tell you, when you need that extra pep to pass or avoid an issue, you'll be glad you have it. I love my MSP!!! Drive it for a while; you'll love it!!!!
