What have you done to your MSP today?

[bwlknsn91]

Just did my first oil change since purchasing the car (approximately 2 months ago)! I used Mobil1 Full Synthetic with a Mobil1 Extended Performance Oil Filter. I also decided to try adding the STP Oil Treatment they sell at Autozone. Not sure if they makes a significant difference or not..? Anyone have any experience with it?

I think I know where you got them...

yes sir i kind of didnt want to spend the money on it, but i needed the endlinks for the jic's and i wanted to replace my medieval passenger side mount.

Installing 2003.5 spoiler TOMORROW! WOOOOO!

Gonna see of I can find my stock rear mm tommorow. Tired of the vibrations and the many many resultng rattles from the Medieval mount.

What size is the stock msp exhaust after the cats? Im pretty sure its supposed to be 2.25"? Thinking of putting stock exhaust back on after the mid pipe section because its so obnoxious on the highway. I dont want it to be super restrictive though.

I'm glad that I'm not drivng the MSP right now because the AC sucks big ol' dick. However, the 4Runner has awesome AC.

 

[Cleverfrog]

you guys notice when the temp goes over 102 in the MSP it just blows out hot air?

have tried resolving this by pumping freon to the point its fully compressed / heavy.
doesnt resolve anything.

I fixed that problem by ripping the entire AC system out

Maybe have a shop pull a fresh vacuum on it then fill it with freon

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

My AC has been working great since replacing the leaking line

Good deal man. Jordan is so funny, he's got two shells, and he say's his plan is to build one race car, but he keeps selling all the parts. Those cars are going to sit there and slowly rot away.

 

[Cleverfrog]

hehe.

im going to try that tomorrow. freon is expensive :[

does ripping the AC out make the car any lighter in pedal feel compared to AC off?
or is it just laden weight removed.

I couldn't tell you this, my AC never worked.

Not if I keep mine. Hell, I'll have purchased half the parts for mine.

 

[SCMP3]

It's gonna be 106* here today.....I don't have ac in the car either.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

lol and this is why I gave you all the (bird) when you told me to pull the AC....haha, nope.

 

[Cleverfrog]

man how do you guys survive without A/C?

Just the same way they did before they ever thought about AC, wind in your hair and sun in your face.

Love this "heat wave"! I over heated like crazy yesterday, needless to say, coolant flush, radiator flush, new thermostat (fyi autozone&advance don't carry thermo gasket. I used supra gasket and rtv silicone).
Did EGR for 2nd time!
Battery terminals were shot.
Also lost another 2inHG somewhere. Headgasket?!?! :'(

One of those infamous MSP days... still love her tho. She's happy now.
