What have you done to your MSP today?

I wonder why? its not like its hard to make he already has the CNC program so all you have to do is load the machine and weld the pieces together.

he still sells the t3 setup... And I doubt it hardly any different then the t3 to make.

Edit: hell even build to order would be cool with me. I can wait lets say a month turn around time on them
 
... found out the alternator was dead in my black MSP when it wouldn't start this morning. and thus, bought a new one.

- OEM radiator
- OEM exhaust mani
- exhaust mani gasket (waiting on arrival)
- OEM alternator (waiting on arrival)
- new tires
- new OEM protege center caps
- nk2a's AAC bumper sag fix (waiting on arrival)

aside from installing/replacing those i still have to swap over:

- headunit
- speakers
- steering wheel? (so the stitching matches my interior)
- shift boot (again, so it matches)
 
Per leen...

Hi

We won't be making any more stock location Protege manifolds. They sell well but just aren't worth our time for the amount of money they make.

I only have the T3 manifolds now and will not be making any more of them once they are sold either. If you really want power then go with T3 which already has EWG flange. They work so much better than the T2 flanged manifold and turbos.

Sounds like a good way to have a part fail! Awesome! Can't wait to get mine on to an actual track.
The radiator needed to be replaced already but I'm happy to be able to upgrade and that I could drive it home. The track was called Mazda Raceway so it's no wonder why the car did so great there. I talked to a guy about doing autocross but since I have an FMIC, SSAFC, SRI etc. I would probably be in a modified class with some really fast high HP cars.

That's the fun part, beating cars you shouldn't, lol.

Guess which cylinder has oil in it......

Yeah it felt pretty damn good to get the 'point by' to pass from GT500s and Boss 302s. The guys that worked at the track were talking about the 'little protege chasing down the M3'.
The Mustang guys were calling it a Mitsubishi, lol.
 
just got back from CCM 12. Forgot to charge my camera the night before so... more pics to come when I get them. These pics were taken from my phone which is why the quality sucks. Saw a LS swapped RX7. I also saw a titanium MSP there too, driver wasn't around though. If you want to see a few pics from the meet, check out this link: http://districtspeed.com/ccm/cupcake-meet-12-2/#more-2859

Installed some fresh spark plugs, new pcv, oil & filter change, tire rotation and lubed bushings front and rear.
Discovered a small antifreeze leak when the car was lifted. Has to be the water return elbow considering its original and the car has 89.8K on it.
 
So found out why my passanger side fog was out. This is what was left in my fog light

So we fixed that and the pass side shroud in the headlight. Gotta pull the head light and reseal it as its getting moisture in it. But here we are running all 4 hids. 4300 up top through morimoto projectors and 3k down in the fogs with h3c hids
