What have you done to your MSP today?

[SCMP3]

Made some connections last night through a friend for machining my motor and tuning my car with a haltech.

 

[Spiced MSP]

Great. Did you finally get it to fit?

yeah, it's on there now. Planning to mount everything back up later this morning

also i have this funny feeling my car might get destroyed this weekend/early next week. I'm completely happy with my msp the way it looks,the way it drives, the way my engine bay is. i just have a feeling that this hurricane is going to drop a strategically placed tree right ontop of my garage lol

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

i wanted to give ken another chance. i haven't ordered from him since he couldn't get my catch can order right 4 years ago, but it looks like things are still the same just.

dont park under any trees

lol i have trees all around my house. I'm thinking about taking the protege over to my grandma's house and stashing it her garage since there aren't many trees around her house.

Unless I'm ordering from Corksport, and now CR3 motorsports, I would typically look elsewhere. Never ordered from Ken since no one really had good things to say...

This is probably why I have almost $700 worth of crap in my Corksport shopping cart for once I pick up the MS3.

yea i normally just order from sam, but i forgot he had dg stuff on his site.

the AC compressor tab is cut off

When I picked up my last engine, the AC tab was already cut making me think that the MSP it came out of it, at one time, had a Pope downpipe on it.

ordered my dg grill and eyelids through Ken a few years back and they also said shipped and took longer than usual. Took it upon myself to contact DGM directly and gave them the info and they informed me that the eyelids were ready but the grill wasn't even boxed up yet. on top of that, when I was still learning about the car, I ordered a 626 manifold from him along with the egr line and received the manifold without the egr line. Many emails later and almost a year passed, I finally get a response from him due to a thread on here talking about bad service, no communication and long shipment times. After he read the thread, he finally gives me a refund of the price of the egr line that never came. He also took an order from me for a thunder manifold around that same time, then informs me like a week later that they wouldn't be ready for about 4 weeks. I haven't ordered anything from him since then. I have only had one good experience and that was my first order from him for my intake, exhaust and intercooler when he had CS products on the site.

it's possible

Why wouldn't you just order directly from DG?

 

[2.0t03speed]

because i like to give other vendors money. plus dg still gets paid.

 

[JaLMP5]

That's crazy, I've only ordered 2-3 things from Ken but I got a tracking number and all items got here in a matter of days.

What all did you have to do to get it to fit? I'd like to know what i'm going to have to do before I tear everything apart. Also, how long did it take you? Is this something I can do in an afternoon?

I'll take back all the carbon fiber bits if they make it thru the storm (dance)

I was looking are some old pics last night for the build thread, pretty sexy. I might just go with an oem style at some point.

I ordered my AWR mounts from PG... It took me excessively long to get the mounts... I had to contact Ken directly in order to get the ball moving. I should have just purchased them directly from AWR.

I should have my engine completely assembled and ready for install by this Sunday!!!
