What have you done to your MS6 today?

Looks good! I to had to replace the clamps.Here's a quick pic of the new battery, and one after installation. Since my positive terminal clamp was getting loose (it looks like the previous owner did some electrical work and replaced the OEM with some cheap ones), I picked up a set of replacement clamps and installed them too. They look a little cleaner than before, but since they were only about $6 I might replace them again if I see something nicer down the road.
Then I did a little bit of engine bay spring cleaning (just getting the worst of the winter junk off for now, I'll do it again in a few weeks with more detail). I installed 2 of the fancy bolts I picked up last year for the intercooler cover, which worked out nicely I think. Just a hex bolt with a dress up collar washer.
May I ask why you're running 100 octane?

Marko, I got them last year, then didn't have time to put them on... but I think it was from ebay.
Yep, the seller was 360infinite-usa, and the size was "10mm Bolts 6Mx20 Fender Washers", but you can find similar ones all over if you search ebay (or google) for "engine bay dress bolts"
...come to think of it, I think there was a thread somewhere on here that gave me the idea in the first place...

22psi should have nothing to do with 100 octane unless you race from red light to red light or strictly use the car on the track. you are just wasting money otherwise.

thanks! i will be powder coating the intake manifold in the next few months along with installing the sure tig's. not sure of the color yet...i am thinking black chrome or a silver
Got in my car after work and noticed water on the passenger side floor mat. Dipped my finger in it and it was definitely water and not antifreeze. Opened the glove box and looked up and saw a drip of water coming off right under the dash. Didn't dig much more into it today, I'll dig a little deeper tomorrow.

Heh, join the club, though it hasn't been two years yet. I have the rear diff mounts and sway bar to install as well, think I'll do them first and drive it for a while and then put the shocks/springs in. Though I'm not really excited about doing the mounts and sway bar, that's a crazy amount of work either way you do it.

Installed an ebay downpipe. Took my time, hardest part was getting the old dp out. Gotta get my compressor back from a friend; made a leak checker and I want to make sure I'm good to go before loading up a stage 2 map.
