What have you done to your MSP today?

[Ricktalife]

Yea I personally think Pioneer and Alpine make great headunits. I had a JVC for my first car and it was nothing special but didn't give me any problems. If you can afford it, I would go with a used double din Alpine or Pioneer since you can find them for a good bit cheaper than new. Buying last year's model will save you hundreds.

I love my alpine! Just wish it had one extra feature a AUX input.. i can buy a ipod/iphone hook up, HD hook up but literally no other AUX hook up. Grant it I did buy this unit way back when HD radio was first coming out so I guess I can't expect to much out of it. Other then that I love it! I can controll the bass for the amp via the HU and no not bass for all speakers but bass for only the sub!

HUs? about 30 bucks. With their known rate of failure they're not exactly desirable.

alpine ida-x1oo. its only for ipod and radio, but it is awesome.

 

[Ricktalife]

If you want to stay single din you can find a decent one for ~$100 maybe less. Buying a stocker would be like buying the stock intercooler pipes for your broken ones... it's just a waste of money.

Anyone know the thread pitch for the battery tie down nut on the strut tower?

I got bored and figured out that the MSP VC cover thing nuts fit on that bolt for the battery tie down. Just thought I'd bring that out incase anyone else is woundering.

head work being done, prepped msp for the rear mm installation.... also at machine shop guy taught me something new, " a clogged cataylitic converter can cause an exhaust valve to go bad". did not know that, just another thing for me to replace... or delete.! now any1 know this is valid. id say it is because this is all this guy does exhausts and head work.

it sounds valid to me, it makes sense since theres no way for the heat to escape it can burn the valve

I have no idea why you would bother trying to find a 9 year old H/U.

anybody know the exact thread pitch for MSP lug nuts?
also are the stock Racing harts acorn seat?

also thinking about repainting the wheels and adding a tiny silver stripe around the edge and new lugs.
and on the way home on the highway, the tire blew out, the tread just straight blew off from both sidewalls.

 

[justanothermp5]

12x1.5 thread pitch

 

[Wagonbacker9]

basically everything besides some hondas are tapered seat... I've heard rumors that there are 2 seat angles, but I can't confirm or deny.

 

[SCMP3]

Will be getting pricing on getting some things powdercoated. And probably changing my oil

 

[justanothermp5]

changing your oil?! dam dude, whats the occasion?

 

[SCMP3]

Lol nice. I've been meaning to. Just haven't had time. Plus I'm gonna be getting my low pro jack from my brother finally

 

[Ricktalife]

Lol I'm sure you know that changing the oil isn't something you can just shrug off and "take care of it later".

 

[SCMP3]

Yeah I know. I let it go one time and I catch Hell constantly lol
