What have you done to your MSP today?

[mildsalsa]

Started the new engin yesterday finally... timing was waay off... thought i had it set corrected but oh well alls well ... now i know i need to burp the coolant system but the coolant pipes were extremely hot for running after 10m. maybe the coolant sensor is messed up cause the gauge worked previously and car says still "C"... also need to get my new linkage bolt/bushings in and axle seals.. bleed the brakes and clutch.. and put wheels back on..!

Can't read what you said but I understand hahah I have AC delete too and I'm missing it right now! EVERYONES AT THE BEACH!!!

On a very important side note. Its ssssssooo nice to be laying down slacking at work instead of under the Hood of the MSP. I've had kit about 3 weeks and popped the Hood ATLEAST 2,000 times after EVERY trip to tighten the turbo studs!! SO FAR ITS HOLDING.

Edit: Almost forgot about labor cost. It will cost you roughly 600-1.2k to get installed depending on who you take it to.

Well, I applied for a new credit card last night to help pay for the diff replacement, and those crazy motherfuckers gave me a $6500 line of credit on my new card. (boom01)

Looks like the Mfactory is going in, along with a few other things while I'm at it. Just hope I can control myself and not buy coilovers as well.

Who are you going to have to the differential? ::hint-hint::

 

[shane02pro5]

Ahh they get you everytime... I got the same thing 6500 when I applied with my bank for overdraft protection! Bam PAR gears...still paying for them but the car and the motor and everything else are mine

 

[Knox Joe]

You do transmissions? The shop you're at, or you personally? Let me know either way, I'm currently trying to find the best trans guy in Knox.

 

[SCMP3]

I helped a friend of mine change a LSD in his zx2. Which has a g series trans too. It wasn't to bad.

what coilovers are you looking for?

 

[Knox Joe]

what coilovers are you looking for?

I'm not, lol.

But if I were, I was thinking of going with Fortune Auto, BC RM, or KW Variant 2's.

 

[Cleverfrog]

Installed awr mounts all around the engine last night.

 

[o0n8]

don't have any of those but I am thinking of putting up for sale my awr's soon

 

[Knox Joe]

Would definitely consider that, as that is what I would want, but is out of the price range new. LMK if you decide to sell.

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

Im glad you are keeping the car man!

 

[Knox Joe]

Still up in the air to be honest. I'm 50/50 right now.

I made a spreadsheet to calculate everything I need to do to sort this car out as a fairly dependable, fairly quick, street car. Looking at around $3k to fix/upgrade everything. If I upgrade the diff I'm going to add the AWR pass. and trans mount, get the hardware to install the DP, get a tune, and upgrade the rear rotors and pads. Also, my HVAC temperature control knob is messed up, and my steering wheel get's cockeyed (mostly after hard turns, with tire spin) when it's going straight down the road. If I am going to put any more money into the car I'm going to fix every little thing I need to now. $3k is just a lot more money to dump into a car I already have so much invested in.

If I put a stock trans/diff back in it's getting the DP installed, the tune, hvac fixed, steering wheel fixed, and getting sold, cause I know there's the possibility it will just destroy another diff.

debating on selling the msp...

or totally parting it out.. not sure.
