What have you done to your MSP today?

[IllaNoizeTV]

Thanks! I think it came out pretty good. The car has 160k miles on it, and has never been repainted, lol.

What brand clay bar, polish, and wax did you use?

Question: p5 resr seats are different but would I be able to install msp rear bench? Would it clip in the same? I'd lose the flat folding but would it snap in?

 

[hornsfan10609]

No it won't fit as far as I know, P5 seats secure in a completely different way. It may sit in there but it won't secure down which may not be safe if an accident occurred

 

[Valk]

Could the retaining clips be changed on the chassis? I imagine the floorpan is the same/similar.

 

[hornsfan10609]

It's possible, don't think it has ever been done before. It's been a long while since I've seen a P5 back seat assembly. Any reason why? Would look weird with mis-matched seats IMO.

 

[Valk]

well if i could take the seat bottom attachments could be put in a p5, id just swap all the seats. my msp seats kinda bad now anyway. if i made a real show of rebuilding the car id need to replace much of the interior =( might as well use it for the p5 or somthing.

i test fitted p5 seats on the msp. the rear cushions do not line up with the clips. i had detailed photos taken of them being not aligned back in the day.

 

[hornsfan10609]

I know the upper part of the P5 seats do not fit without welding them in custom. Fronts are the only ones that interchange.

#1345 is getting annoying to drive, it still runs great but the rear clunk is really loud now and there is a constant squeaking sound at idle from something I have yet to locate under the car (not the exhaust, not belt noise, honestly cannot find where its coming from). And it makes a clunking/clicking noise that accompanies the squeak when first moving from a complete stop. Doesn't make the noise when the car is moving or turning so I don't think it is the wheel bearings or CVs however both side axles have been leaking for a looong time now so the axles are my primary suspect.

Ok I feel the pain of the guys up north right now buying 2566 sight unseen from New Jersey. it needs a lot of TLC its pretty toasty underneath.

If you think that looks rough you should see the one I pulled out the wrecked car.

Oil pan baffles are in hand which means I can finally start putting my car together!!!

 

[ZealoustheEnder]

[ZealoustheEnder]

[323]

2507 will be mostly stock in 2566 will be a monster. A DD and a fun mazdaspeed.

 

[IllaNoizeTV]

Washed, clay bar waxed, and polished.

 

[hornsfan10609]

Haven't even had time to wash either of my MSPs in months, when I have the time I either have to work on one of them or it's raining. Once I am done with my classes in a couple weeks I will have time to do all the crap that has been adding up for both cars, install the ZE mani on my first one, replace the turbo on #2 and clean up the paint, install the sub, install rear swaybar, install FTC, replace sway bushings on #1, find and fix annoying squeak, and both cars need new/rebuilt cv axles.

Found a front lip in decent condition paid for it and got it deliver with in 24hrs also got a bunch of stuff in 3 gauge pod ,fmic piping, short shifter and more stuff just need to figure out how to post pics. still looking for the rear wing cuz I don't like how the one I have looks don't get me wrong it looks nice from far away ..lol and still waiting for my o2 sensor guess they are special order only

 

[323]

Speaking of axles, my passenger side axle boot decided to split open yesterday. Grease everywhere. I was going to put another boot on but at 120k miles ill just replace it. Soon.

 

[hornsfan10609]

I may end up getting regular pro axles considering how difficult it is to find the correct 24mm axles. I would get mine rebuilt but I don't know anywhere that rebuilds them. I know I will never notice the difference if I went to the 22mm axles but I want to keep the cars with as many of their original MSP parts as I can.
