What have you done to your MSP today?

I'm going to say the likely culprit is heat soak.

That'd make sense. Busy as hell in Elkhart. I sat in traffic for far too long.

Guesss it wasn't tight enough. Anybody know what size nut/bolt i need?

hm.. i guess the previous owner of my car wasn't a retard.. i had the same issue. Just take the mount off and go upto the hardware store with it.. I did. Its not like that mount is doing anything right now anyways. Just take it easy on the way upto the store.

Today I was accelerating to 60 on the highway and shifted to 5th going 45, and then had very little power. It just didn't want to climb to 55. Then after about 3 seconds it suddenly came back. A sign of a turbo problem? I don't think my brakes were dragging.

I had the same issue. I relocated the maf sensor to the cold pipe and it's perfect now.the only issues I get from "heat soak" is that my car might boost 6-8psi and all of a sudden only boost 3-4psi since it's very hot. Weird I know but better then having a car bog/fuel cut

I plan to relocate the MAF when the FMIC goes on. This is my first summer with the car, so looks like I may have to get used to that happening on occasion.

ya if you have the stock smic then your screwed for that heatsoak until you get the fmic, it's crazy how bad the stock smic is

Have the FMIC, but the project is on hold 'till my move. Looking forward to getting it on there.

I checked my tranny fluid and its still full. I'm thinking that this new fluid isn't very good. Maybe I should actually drive my car more than 2 miles a week before I decide lol.

On another note, I waxed my miata, ended up looking better than my msp. Not bad for a 95.

well, I finally hooked up my fans to relays so that they both come on when the rad. fan comes on, was pretty easy for the most part, I kept breaking the damn mounting tabs to the slim fan I just got in to replace the stock rad. fan, but it's great to see them both kick on at once.. and all nice and clean with no wires hanging around or anything

Test fit after intercooler installed

Who all has the mfactory diff? Please fire me a pm on what you think about it.

Nice! Makes me want to paint my intercooler black.

 

[Ricktalife]

That intercooler looks beautiful, but the hot pipe seems like it sits a bit high?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I just stuck it there so I didn't drop anything into the turbo lol I haven't done piping yet.

 

[SCMP3]

Ordered my lamin-x fog overlays and picket up a new Turbo to dp gasket yesterday. Ordered my 300k hid fogs tonight. Can't wait to get this shiat on the car.

 

[lizardman743]

Evilmonkey that looks WAY good. Holy jesus.

 

[destineal]

yea it looks good Evil

 

[destineal]

Mike, did you order h1 or h1c fogs?

 

[SCMP3]

H3c fogs....I've been told the stock ones are h3 and h3 hids are to long. So h3c is the solution.

 

[destineal]

yea they are too long

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

I have ordered the Mfactory diff. It has not came in though.
