I had a blown LSD back in early last October. I finally picked up my MSP yesterday and it now has a good used transmission in it. My mechanic also replaced my struts and springs with low mileage factory units. and swapped in my wastegate actuator for a good working unit. I had put a new turbo in...

To preface, the mods in my sig are for my original MSP. I now own another one and have yet to really figure out what the previous owner has done with the suspension. I know this much, it sits really low. Too low. Like my first MSP did with Goldline springs on it, which were replaced with...

My sig info is for my previous MSP. I haven't updated it yet. I had it for eight years, and that car was as close to perfect as a car can get. No issues and compression was still 190-195 in every cylinder at 150k miles. When I bought my 2nd MSP with only 110k miles on it, I expected a lot better...

This is my first time posting in a long time. I have another Spicy MSP now and hadn't driven it much before the turbo went out the other day. I have a shop nearby ready to do the swap for a fair price, but I can't find a replacement turbo. I'm trying to avoid getting a brand new one, but am open...

Well, the "Spicy Curse" has struck again. I had mine for 7.5 yrs and 155k mostly trouble-free miles. I've run the Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap many times, and the last time in a storm, and still went balls-out, with only fun and no problems. Unfortunately I took a a very well known off...

The non-bolted caliper slide on my R front is nearly seized. I can swing the caliper apart just far enough to swap the pads, but it won't slide side-to-side apart far enough to get the new pads over the rotor. I figure I should just replace the caliper. I searched for info, but didn't find...

Hey all. I've been getting a shimmy/shake in the steering wheel for a while now. It shows up about 45-55 mph and gets worse to 75-80 mph (as fast as I've had it lately). It definitely comes in harder when I'm under load or accelerating, and eases a bunch as soon as I let off the gas. I got...

Hey all. Been away for a while, sorry. Both of my Kartboy exhaust hangers in the front have broken and I don't see anything for the MSP offered on their website now. I tried to contact them some time back and I'm not even sure they are still in business. Is anyone making a performance...

First up is a set of shift and e-brake boots for a spicy MSP. They are black leather with orange stitching, and are brand new and never installed. Instructions are included. $35 shipped for the pair. (Will not separate). Next is a din sized panel with cutouts for 3 gauges, and I believe it is...

I'm selling off some more of my treasure trove of spare parts. I'm a little rusty on my pricing, so all prices are OBO (or best offer). Just don't waste my time with obvious lowball offers. All items are sold as-is. First up are a set of fog lights for a 2003 MSP or for any Protege 5. These...

I did search first. No luck. As title says, I need the part number for the splitter on my Spicy. (The black plastic wing-looking thing that runs all the way under the front edge of my bumper cover). I need a new one and the body shop and dealership both say it's not in the parts catalog. Any...

As stated, I'm looking for one or two '03 MSP Racing Hart wheels. I have to have at least one, and could probably use two. They would need to be in good condition, with no major rash or damage. I would also consider a full set of aftermarket wheels, but it would depend on if I liked the...

I don't know what it's officially called, but it's the fairly large black stamped metal factory piece that uses four bolts and runs under the firewall area. Mine is bent and I had to remove it because it was digging into my Vibrant exhaust. I need a replacement, cheap and fast. Hit me up.

Yes, I searched, with the usual s*** results. I'm installing new axles, and I cannot get the driver's side axle back in. I always have trouble with it, but this time it's worse. I even swapped the c-clip over from my old axle because it looked a little more uniform in roundness, but still no...

Yes, I searched. Yes, I got the same garbage results. Actually, no results searching for tie rod in the MSP section, which is impossible. I HATE the search engine on this forum. I think I've got a bent tie rod and/or something else bent. I hit some leaves in a corner the other day and put...

Yes, I searched first, but I got the usual worthless results. Tons of unrelated s*** and no help. I love everything about these php style forums except the search functionality. As the title says, I just need to know if rebuilt axles are available anywhere for the MSP. I've never gotten a...

Hey all. I've got something going on I can't figure out. When I'm taking off with decent throttle in 1st gear I get a back and forth wiggle of the steering wheel. I only notice it in 2nd if I'm really hard on the gas. It never does it in higher gears, so it's obviously a torque at the wheels...

Sup all. If I can, I may head up to the Gap in the next few days. I'm on fall break through Tuesday, and if I can afford to get away for a day, I'll head up there. If so, it would most likely be Sunday. A weekday would likely be free of cops, but the bike and car watching will be better on a...

Looks like I'm finally going to make it up there, albeit a little later than I wanted. I won't get there till about 2-2:30 pm. Maybe I'll see another forum member there. w00t!!!!

Sorry for the delay. Building a new company and things are going gangbusters. Right now I'm thinking the weekend of May 26 & 27 would work out well. In all honesty, I might follow my typical plan and go up Sat. evening and stay in Alcoa, TN at the Airport Days Inn right on US 129 (Alcoa Hwy.) I...
