How so?
What have you done to your MSP today?
- Thread starter baconbitz
- Start date
Just check to see if the crank has any play or not. Thrust washers are pretty easy to replace, but then again I've already taken apart my motor twice 
Turn the motor upside down and take the oil pan and lower pate off. Remove the one crank cap that has the thrust washers under it. Replace and retorque. Then put it all back together. While everything is off you can check for your main bearings and crank wear too. The rods should be fine though.

Just got back from looking at the other MSP. The driver seat is pretty trashedbut the other seats are good. Front has been hit, but easily fixable. Has a Perrin fmic, cork sport motor mount inserts in sides, an afternarket front mount, 3" fabricated cat back, Koenig kolorz, auto meter boost gauge, full pillar pod, and lowered. I think I can get it for $2000.

It's not quite done yet, I can't quite get the slim fan in there yet, but I should be able to with some adjustment.

ordered some more parts for the build, 750cc injectors (which does anyone know if those will work with the SSAFC?) or will I have to wait to put them in until I get a standalone.. which will be a while.. but I also got the thermostat sensor thing that opens the coolant into the rad. at 170 instead of 185 I think.. and also got the 400lph Walbro fuel pump..
BUT I want a used GT28 RS, since I am replacing everything else pretty much and will hopefully be getting my new exhaust mani from Pope ones those flanges come in at some point.. I figured with the turbo out, I should swap it out.. but money is tight so if I can, I would like a used one.. lol anyone know of any.. I've been checking the FS section, but figured I would hit this up too.
but that is what I did today, can't wait to start getting parts in the mail

crap, well I guess that is another thing to throw on the list..
does anyone know which one of those standalones is the one where you can put in the a/f ratio into the cells that you want, and the standalone adjusts it to make it come out to that ratio.. I remember seeing someone post about one of them that did that a year ago about, but can't remember which one
