[SCMP3]

went to atl to get the frame and a top for my miata....fit in the suburban with room to spare...

while i was in atl i picked up these....

this past weekend i pulled the motor out, and started deconstruction on the msp....motor is out

can see how bad the frame is now

 

[2.0t03speed]

a lot of stuff to replace

 

[SCMP3]

eh it will be worth it

 

[Drewskiz]

Looking good.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

Those pistons are so hawt

 

[SCMP3]

That they are.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

It's a damn shame no one will see them after they are installed. Also, while your body is in the shop, can we put your MSP setup in my p5?

 

[SCMP3]

Haha Naw. I already sold the msp setup already

 

[JDM_Pro5]

But then I could have a Brotege5

 

[SCMP3]

Lol

 

[Drewskiz]

Cam, I will gladly sell you the turbo setup out of the Speed...easily 200whp...

 

[JDM_Pro5]

I wish man. I got to get my outside appearance finished before I can work on the ponies

Subbage, can't believe I've never posted on here, I've always came her and read through your build and everything haha I'm ready for it to be on the road again though, that way when we park together at meets everyone can see how stockish mine looks lol
