What have you done to your MSP today?

[Preferio]

Those of you with a POPE downpipe, I'd like to know the measurements on the 2-bolt flange- Inside diameter (A) and bolt to bolt (B).

make sure you shop around because you can get it cheaper than what it says on vibrant

 

[Preferio]

Yeah, I've found some locally for $14.

Washed it, started to clay bar it and wax the thing but got rained out. 8(. I managed to get the hood, driver side fender, and half the bumper clayed.

I will have my intake mani off this weekend cleaning/egr cleaning... And I was wondering if I port n polished the mani for undisturbed flow...would it give me some extra umph? Granted I haven't been dynoed at all yet...

Have you removed the butterflies? that will give you the bigest umph. This could just be me but you might be wasting your time if you don't have or plan to port the head. Why free up some space for airflow if it's just going to be blocked by the head on the other side?

would i need to put something where the butterflies go, and what is the gain of no butterflies. Well i will be building/forging another motor when money allows, and will port n polish the head then so it wont be blocked.

edit: which one would i remove, VTCS or VICS? Ive been reading that it is the VTCS is this correct?

 

[2.0t03speed]

remove the vtcs. Also I disassembled my jic coilover so I can send it out to be rebuilt so I can then trade it for d2's lol

 

[2.0t03speed]

[2003.5_MSP]

I've got three extra manifolds and I feel like I should do something with them, but it's time consuming...
