What have you done to your MSP today?

[shane02pro5]

Popped a coupler this morning at near 30psi...scary to say the least!

shane, I would have s*** myself. I'm sure you almost did haha.

And as far as the radiator goes, I would personally upgrade to an all aluminum rad. The stock protege radiator kinda sucks balls for boost. I believe the MSP is more efficient even with the smaller core but I may be wrong.

Im running a p5 Rad and its doing fine. I will be upgrading to a mishimoto Rad later down the road.

Any one know what size socket I need to take the drain plug out of my tranny? I want to change my fluid in it.

 

[justanothermp5]

its like a 24 or 26 i think

I want to upgrade but obviously funds do not permit it and I need somethign with a little bit faster turn around time.


Edit: I can only imagine what 30psi sounds like blowing a coupler off!

24mm doesn't bite on mine anymore I just used a 15/16" (23.8mm) on the drain and a crescent on the fill this weekend.

So its technically a 24mm?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I need to put new fluid in my trans. Was going to do Penzoil Syncromesh. Any issues there?

 

[SCMP3]

That's what im putting in mine....

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

it takes just about 3 qts right?

 

[shane02pro5]

I think it's a 23mm but my 23mm socket is nowhere to be found. My plugs are a little chewed and need to be replaced which I think is why I couldn't use the 23mm the last time.

Pennzoil Synchromesh is good stuff (yes 3qts)! What I used to use before the par gears.

 

[SCMP3]

And after par gears your spending about $100 on tranny fluid every 4500 miles right? Lol.

And ok so 23mm. Sadly I have al the way up to a 22 lol.

I have my used MSP one I just took off.

 

[shane02pro5]

$50/3000 miles but I only put about 5k a year on it though and it's my daily Only about a 1.5 miles from home to my work...

That must rock living so close to work!

my left sideskirt has come undone a bit...looks like its held by a couple of clips in the middle?

 

[StealthWyvern]

I have my used MSP one I just took off.

Thanks but not really looking for a stock replacement if I do replace it.... nothing wrong with the one that I have other then thecap is fubar.

It took most of my adult life working toward accomplishing this. During college years I drove over 150mi a day to/from school and work full time. Pretty much never had a job closer than 30miles away ever. Now single dad with two boys grocery shopping, doing laundry, running errands on lunch break...only way to keep up! Air conditioned bay to work on the car too

That must rock living so close to work!
