    Suspension Bushings

    Well it started off as a Texas car, and has lived all over since 2009. It's in good shape rust-wise. I'll take a look at some of those companies

    Suspension Bushings

    Awesome! I changed out to my winter tires today and did a pretty thorough inspection of things. The lower A-arm bushings, endlink boots, front/rear swaybar, and rear trailing arm bushings definitely need replacing, but if I get the car onto a lift, I'd like to do as much as I can under there...

    Suspension Bushings

    Hey, does anyone know a good source for a bushing kit for the MSP? I'd like to replace as many of the bushings below the car as I can this winter in an attempt to bring her back to glory. Not sure where to start in this adventure... TIA

    WTB LH 2003.5 MSP taillight

    Had a little accident yesterday and my left-hand taillight is busted pretty good. I'll buy a full set if I need to. Going to be a quote on the body work this week. Thanks in advance for your reply.

    No more Calgary... oil is down so we're not flying that much right now... But to fill the time, I whipped out the camera: Trashcan II Money Shot by Finktel Jr Productions, on Flickr JT-8D by Finktel Jr Productions, on Flickr Raging Bull by Finktel Jr Productions, on Flickr Different...

    Heh, sorry. Right side of the vehicle. I was thinking of a couple things at once when I posted that.

    Btw, I'm actually flying up to Calgary in a few weeks. I think I'm there three nights - what to do?

    What have you done to your MSP today?

    I have a pretty significant oil leak coming from somewhere. I've checked the things I can get to easily - turbo oil return line, valve cover, oil pan + drain, oil filter tightness, but it seems to be dripping onto the splash guard on the left side of the car, then onto the ground. Compression...

    Some smoke on startup

    I agree that the fact it clears up indicates its probably not an immediate problem, but its definitely not water vapor - its blueish in color and smells like oil smoke.

    Some smoke on startup

    Yeah, that was only 1 day of sitting, and TBH its really not that bad, but any smoke isn't ideal. I had come back from a week-long trip and there was a bit more smoke, but it went away once the car was warmed up... I think the real solution is finally selling the car! I just need to keep it...

    Some smoke on startup

    Phew, its been a while since I posted, but I'm in the early stages of trying to diagnose a problem. Symptoms: Smoke from exhaust only on a cold startup, any revving and additional smoke appears. About a quart low in-between oil changes ~5,000miles No noted smoke after it warms up...
