What have you done to your MSP today?

Here's a picture right after I put 'em in. Still gotta hook up the halo's and figure out the flickering problem over the weekend though. Hoping it's just a short in the ground.

I just spent 3 1/2 hours in Advance Auto Parts parking lot because my god damned car wouldn't start... I had the entire engine wiring harness torn apart in order to find a dead short I had. I ended up ripping out the ground wire from the chassis to the engine and running another ground wire... Today has sucked so ******' hardcore.
 
damn, that sounds like a major throbbing headache.

OAN: damn, somebody did something to their MSP today!!! First post of the day!! LMAO
 
Washed and vacuumed it. And damn Hankook's have gone up as I got mine shipped for less than $360 I think. Definitely a great tire and much quieter than the OE Bridgestones. I have yet to notice a difference in grip, cornering or wet traction.

Do you get all your parts at advance auto and have them install them for you? That would explain why you blow so many engines...

Har, har, har! I was hanging out eating lunch with the commercial parts pros.
 
well this was kinda a bad situation Keep in mind that I'm telling you this story from South Korea and there not the best at working on are cars or on Transmissions. So this is the 3rd time I have dropped my transmission because of a problem fixed that problem and now i'm in the middle of fixing another one. Background is I added a turbo to my car but too hold up to the horse power did a Mfactory LSD and 3rd and 4th gear PAR striaght cut gears new bearings and LSD Bolts. First problem was a grinding noise that ended up being a bearing rubbing on the input shaft because

Here you can see were we sand down the Input shaft and fixed the burnt areas. So next up we had grinding of the 3rd and 4th gears so we had to by some bigger synchro rings and make it

work but that was it that car ran good for about 5 days and then two days ago the 3rd gear just stopped working the you can put it in to 3rd gear but when you do there isnt any movement. The car works in all the other gears but 3rd so I will be breaking it down again to find the issue. I will either completely rebuilt the whole transmission again and work on just making the car handle the whole thing. Any ideas on what happen I will be happy to get them also if you want more pictures of the built let me know.
 
P0850 DTC... That's ******' awesome. That's the cause for the shorted ground. Now I get to pull the wiring harness back apart and REALLY go through it. My one completely free day off this month and I'll be dissecting my wiring harness... **** this car.
