I have an ms II extra. The MS III will have more capabilities you shouldn't have any issues with it. Is it setup for the msp already?
What have you done to your MSP today?

Nope. It came out of an RX7.
Building your own MS is one of the best things you can do, it forces you to understand what you are doing and what every components purpose is. If you but one pre-built for another application you are still going to have to remove the mods that might have been done to work in that application and add the mods you need to run a FSDE engine. I Built the MSII for my miata, I never once soldered anything onto a circuit board before I tackled that project and I learned a great deal in doing so.
I know for a fact normally things of this matter can feel somewhat overwhelming specially when you're not familiar enough with the subject. I was blessed to find one pre assemble for the msp. Otherwise I would be running a microsquirt since my main concern was fuel and timing control.

Unloading as much Protg/MSP parts at possible. I have a ton of extra OEM engine and transmission parts if anyone needs anything.
I took the 03.5 spoiler off last night. I love the look of the car without any spoiler, but those 6 holes kind of make it required.

Would you happen to have a main bearing support plate? If so how much are you looking to get for it?

Only have an NA one. Both of my MSP ones got destroyed.
I was hoping to get an msp one but if the price is right I could be tempted to get an na one lol.

@jbrewer4639 thanks bro
maybe a silly question, but has anyone tried bearings on their swaybars? seems silly to keep replacing silicon bushings when you could just be lubing bearings. i got under the back today and my bar is basically riding on nothing lol. a few mm play in all directions in the bushings. was gonna take it off entirely but the endlink bolts just too tight.
we use them in rc cars and i understand the loads are vastly different, but the swaybar shouldn't be carrying any significant load that the bearings couldn't handle.

The only thing that I could think of is a really rough ride. There isn't going to be much give with bearings. I bought the CR3 relocation bracket and Energy poly bushings. I'll be set for a while. However, the bushing now slaps the my lateral links going over bumps...seems like a design flaw to me.

How would you even get the bearings on? They'd be loud as all get out if you could even figure out how to get them on. There's a reason they don't do that standard on cars.

I knew you were going to bring those up lol. If you thought the clunk was bad (freak). They'd have to be pretty tightly toleranced and with an old sway bar with paint on it I'm not sure it would even be a good idea.
I might need to do a little drawinf but its nowhere near that complicated. There would be a two part sleeve that bolts together on the arb and the one peice ball bearing is oversized to be able to slip over the bar and turn thr bend.
If then slips over the two part sleeve and is installed into a carrier bolted to the chassis somewhere. Bearings could be flanged to prevent side play.
Bearings are rubber sealed, could be cleaned and lubed by you.
