What have you done to your MSP today?

[hornsfan10609]

Installed an old autometer boost gauge in place of the wbO2 gauge. The sensor for the WB burned out months ago and I have yet to replace it so I decided to replace the gauge with one that I could actually use.

Speaking of gauges, may pick up an oil pressure gauge soon.

 

[Valk]

Ha. I should get one too. Had a blank in my dual pillar since I made it heh.

 

[Preferio]

Well, I spent about an hour on the hood last night and got the clear completely off of half of the hood. Hit the gelcoat with 800, 1000 and a Trizac pad. It's going to turn out good. Thanks for the help, Valk. I'm definitely going to clear it. The cracks are barely noticeable after the 1000/Trizac and cleaning it, so that makes me happy. I reeeeeeaaaaallly want a CF trunk deck lid now as well as CF eyelids.

 

[Valk]

I recommend valspar ac.2100. You need a proper spray setup for it but goes.on nice and thick, atomizes well and not stinky. 2-3 coats of that and polish and its beautiful. $60 cdn/qt.
Wet coats with clear. Flash for 20-30 minutes back to back. Also don't sand higher than 6-800 for applying clear.

 

[Preferio]

You can probably tell where it's been Trizac'd

Took apart the trans from the mp3 that blew up on me a couple weeks ago. Culprit turns out to be the 3/4 shift fork snapped, which explains why I was stuck in 4th gear. Question now is where I can I get a replacement? Also other than the par 3n4th gears are their any other options or upgraded or 3/4 that have a longer gear ratio?

 

[IllaNoizeTV]

Finally ordered the ATP WGA. Next, is the pope mani.

[Valk]

you should get the plate mod. from what ive been reading, it solves the main problems with the gears failing.

 

[Blake D]

i have a plate for the transmission just laying on a bench. just looking for a trans to put it in.

So for the list of things I got done on the msp today....
Removed stock turbo, installed the gt28r, pope 3" downpipe and vibrant 3" exhaust. Fabed a bracket to be able to use the stock wastegate along with the new turbo. In reality it took me 3 days to sort everything out. The turbo is bigger than the stock gt25 by quite a bit so everything got shifted. The pope downpipe its literally touching the ac pump bracket. I also had broken studs and random stupid crap that ate most of the time. I'll try and post pictures later in the week. I'm exausted and the msp brought back a lot of skill I haven't used in a long while. I was hoping to have the high boost fmic along with the retrofitted headlights installed but I've run out of time and I'll have to find another hole in my crazy schedule to mess with the msp some more. I hope the results are worth the effort.

Did you not cut the AC compressor bracket ear off?

 

[Preferio]

It's coming along. "Half" is complete for now

 

[TURBOJ1]

My wifey got me a set of lowering springs for mine.I am gonna just use the front ones to lower it a little cuase the car sits low on the back.They are megans.

[Cleverfrog]

Went out to drain the water and water wetter from my MSP before tonights -20*F temps and found a pink slushy waiting. Caught it before it completely iced over. Hooked my air compressor to the radiator and block and blew both out. WHEW (eekdance)

 

[Gabi]

Preferio, I cut all of it off. I'll take a picture of what I'm talking about. I also had to install a slim fan since the inlet wouldn't clear the stock fan.

 

[Natey]

Finally ordered the ATP WGA. Next, is the pope mani.

oohh man. Better take a deep breath and possibly a bong hit before putting that WGA in. I did mine last week and I'm still pissed. (strike)

Lol, is it really that hard? I was just gonna pay my mechanic to do it... It'll prolly be an hour of labor, $75.

 

[323]

it's not hard if no fasteners or anything break on you in the process. it's just time consuming.
