What have you done to your MSP today?

well i washed it today and then dropped it off at a friends house, he waxed it and buffed it for me to try and get the brush marks outta the passanger side..havent went over to look at it. ill get it in the morning and take pics. still has driverside fender dent though.
 
i think my head gaskets toast. i started the car up today to see if it was still misfiring and sure enough it was, only this time smoke was coming out the exhaust. it was also shooting out either coolant or oil (cant smell right now im sick), but im going with coolant. the plugs in 2 and 3 looked like they had been steam cleaned or something, most likely from coolant getting in the combustion chamber. compression test tomorrow.
 
For some reason my car wants to stall after I give it gas when the RPMs drop.

I took off all mods and put them back together to make sure nothing was broke in any way...

good thing that my Turbo has ZERO shaft play :D

yeah thats my boost gauge and it reads perfectly yeah I heard of people doing it from their intake mani but I found this way is better and I had a TurboXS MBC but I took it out cuz of a number of reasons nothing to do with the boost gauge try it that way and you'll find it a lot better also

cool thanks bro, ill try it tomorrow. now i just need a passanger side motor mount (bang) any one with a stocker or somewhat used let me know.
 
Raised the car up today and checked what was rubbing when I take hard turns and it was the inside of the tire hitting the Tokico HP strut since the MSP ones have a little indent. I guess I'll be getting thin spacers.
 
compression on mine is 190 on all 4.. buyt my comp gauge is cheapo a bit..

i guess what counts is that they have all the same compression.
 
so i just ran it through inspection (still no obd2 scanning in lower de) and failed for missing a ******* lug nut and exhaust too loud...
 
Thanks man, they are 18x8 TSW Thruxton's and by new heart i do indeed mean new motor, and it's forged and it's beautifull
