What have you done to your MSP today?

No I've had a fmic

All your symptoms are pointing to a clog in the coolant system, if ther was that stop leak stuff in the previous owners coolant system, it may finally clogged it all aup completely. If it is blowing cold air it is def. not circulating to the heater core. Investigate the flow in the radiator. And check to see if the heater core is clogged up as well. it maybe time for that Mishimoto radiator upgrade!

Yea I'm pretty positive there's a clog in the system, I flushed my heater core out when the motor was out of the car and a bunch of nasty stuff came out but I'm replacing the thermostat today and see if that helps. My top radiator hose gets hot but the bottom doesn't, and I just put that pro 5 radiator in last week lol, I might upgrade to a mishimoto when I get the funds though!

I picked it up from scmp3, not sure where he got it from though, and yea it's an 05-08 sti lip I'm pretty sure
 
I bought a new beater since my msp is a ******* POS. First time I drive a car with an automatic transmission longer than 5 minutes in about 10 years. It sucks big time.

The only reason I allow the Vista to stick around is the emotional attachment and what it means to me. It'll be getting a 5MT soon enough. Other than that... even my wife's Chevy Cruze is a 6MT.
 
i have a p5 radiator in for almost a year now without problems

I didn't have this same experience. Mine would boil over coolant all the time. That lasted a month before getting a Mishimoto radiator.
 
I've had a auto p5 rad in mine since I purchased it and it didnt look new then.. still no issues over 100k miles on it so far and counting that ive put on it personally.
 
Put a new thermostat in, still boiling over... Pulled the head off yesterday thinking I might of put my head gasket on wrong but it was fine
 
Put some K-Sport coilovers this weekend, and now I have a problem. When I hit bumps it sounds like the rear end is slamming in to the back of the car, like a loud bang.

Any ideas of what it could be? I know I need to raise it up a bit, but what else could it be.
