What have you done to your MSP today?

[Preferio]

IS300 is my consideration for DD. I might even part out the MSP instead of selling it outright. Will also be selling my SSAFC V1 next week. I might just keep the MSP as my toy and DD the IS, but who knows. Nothing is definitive as of yet.

Anybody know where I can get those plastic clips holding the front wheel splashguards onto the front bumper? I'm looking for some clips for the grill as well. Broke all of them installing the new headlights as they were extremely brittle from old age.

Anyone? A Mazda dealer maybe?

auto parts store?

Self-tapping screws!

I've got a 626 valve cover, NGK wires, and coil bracked for a 1.8 coil pack conversion and there is a guy here locally wanting them... What should I ask for it? I sold a valve cover a few months back for $65 alone.... $100?

if you are selling everything together id ask 125-150ish, I know there is a full setup FS right now for 150 shipped.

Does that include the coil? Because I don't have the coil, just everything else.

Oh, id take 100 than without coils.

Changed my ignition coils, that fixed the random misfire when the car is cold. Now I only have 20 other issues to fix on it.

Welcome to the club! Haha. I have a list posted on my fridge of what needs to be done totaling close to $500! Which is a lot considering I'm a broke college student.

That's not a bad idea since I won't have to worry about re-breaking the plastic ones in the future. Will they work for the grill also?

Anybody have an idea for a fair price to have the synchros looked at, replace the LSD and install a new clutch? I'm thinking the synchros might be going out in my transmission (having trouble getting the shifter into gear) and was thinking about using my student loan refund to have it all done at once. Planning on changing out the transmission oil to see if it helps, but just wanted to get an idea if worst comes to worst.

You can find the plastic screw thinghies at pretty much any local auto parts store, self tapping screws can work too but then you gotta make another hole.

So earlier I took a closer look at my front tires and saw the cord so yeahhhh just ordered some ventus v12.


for the record I use a mix of self tapping and those plastic things

So for the past few days ive been getting strange shaking when the car is under load, it happens for a few seconds then stops. Since my car is out of balance, alignment and my tires are down to the cord ill wait till I put the new ones on and see if it happens again but im pretty sure it will.. What are some possible causes? Im thinking maybe the axles?
