What have you done to your MP3 today???

[mx-p5]

much appreciated!! I'm curious to meet up with em for a photoshoot with the wife's P5 since he's local!

 

[CulRidr]

He's local? He has Ontario plates... something doesn't add up. The guy I'm thinking it might be is from Toronto...

 

[mx-p5]

yeah, he's got Ontario tags down here in FL

Well a couple days ago I figured out my belt issue. I kept throwing belts off my power steering and crank. I have no AC so i was testing belts and found the perfect size and still threw it. Upon further investigation mt crank pulley wobbles about a 1/4" at idle and above 4k it runs perfectly true. The teeth for the CPS always run perfectly straight, so i looked at the rubber in the vibration dampener and lets just say there is the heart of the issue. It is torqued perfectly and I have no slop in the crank itself. So I need to order a new crank pulley.

So I decided to wash and wax her today so even if she dose not run good at least she looks good sitting in the driveway.

Wasn't the guy I thought as he flew down.

Going back to stock......

MP3 is getting parted out. Bought an 05 Accord. No more modding DD's for me, lol. Holler at me if you need any parts, I got lots of s***! Full part out, aftermarket and stock.

 

[Droopy]

What happened to your sweet MP3??

 

[Keno1542]

Why is everyone getting rid of their mp3s?

On a side note I do agree totally with the not modding the daily thing uc said...especially if it is your only car.

 

[jonridinhi]

It was that time for me. I had that car way too long and would have dumped more money into it. Instead get a car that is alot more fun and has more support. I got a soft spot for the classics. Plus the car was built the same month I was born.....

I really don't want to get rid of mine, but the dam OBD II monitors won't get ready. I just put a new cat on it and everything else that had to do with emissions as well as a new motor in feb of 2009. She's a good car, but the dam thing won't pass emissions. grrrr(unamused)

 

[ucMP3]

Started a thread for my aftermarket part out. Come and get it.

thinking about picking up a local mp3 with a blown motor... apparently the rod blew threw the block. how much would it cost for a new motor for an mp3? could i use a regular protege one?

 

[323]

yea u can use a regular protege one. they're identical as far as i know cept for you have the better ECU on the mp3

 

[Keno1542]

the intake mani is different on the mp3. no vtcs or vics, i can never remember which one they deleted.

MP3 has vtcs, no vics, IIRC.

 

[tweety2300]

Mp3 doesn't not have vtcs it does have vics that's why it throws codes when people turbo and use msp ecu

 

[justanothermp5]

huh? lol it would throw a code either way
