What have you done to your MSP today?

[Probed]

Ahoy, used to own a 2.0 Probe, was getting ready to turbo/megasquirtnspark plus a few other fun things when when the 9 month timer hit.
Few weeks ago I noticed this clean titanium with a few minor issues shared a ton of parts with my old project, decided why not.
Past couple days, Replaced wastegate actuator, coil packs, Front brakes, all fluids, Passed smog.

That heat soak tho, Still have pipes and FMIC, but I don't think it's going to fit without some cutting. Not sure if I'm down with that. CXRacing FMIC looks like a reasonable option, Cant seem to find many threads on it. (Can the stock BPV be used without any fuss?)

... now where did I put that MS'n'S (uhm)

Thursday is the day I find out what's wrong with my msp [emoji51] . I'm getting it diagnosed and smoke tested (for finding vacuum leaks) by a performance shop. They specialize in Subarus but they've worked on multiple speeds and other turbo platforms. I really hope its something Minor. I wanna go back to loving my msp so bad. [emoji53]

This was a pretty good day. First off this arrived:

It came super fast and I cant wait to install it but I need to get a second sensor bung welded on. (Sorry Zealous don't be mad at me)

I was "off" work today and I had a little time to finally get some bolts tightened etc., get the bumper installed, get sunburned, and was able to take the MSP out for a little cruise. She's been immobile for a couple months now, it was good to be behind the wheel once again. It had some vacuum leaks so all the hoses and couplers were replaced as well as some gaskets and I found that the turbo gasket was blown out in two spots so it too had to be replaced. While I did that I also replaced all the turbo bolts. A new radiator, fan assembly, coolant reservoir, spark plugs, AWR motor mounts, and a plethora of other small stuff was handled at the same time.
I stopped to get some fresh fuel in the tank and snapped this pic:

From this distance you cant really see that its kinda dirty and needs a good bath lol.

Man your MSP looks great too man! I want to lower mine and make it stiffer but I like the stock suspension and how nice it rides. Maybe one day when I have some cash I might lower it.

Make sure there is clearance for your wideband o2 sensor they messed up the first time and then put it where I marked it needs to go right behind the primary sensor

Wow that is some good savings, oh and a nice car to. lol

Quote overload!!

Hit 170k in 1345 yesterday, also tried to tune the Greddy EBC to run more boost and am having trouble with it. I can get it to hold about 8.5psi to redline but can't get it to hold higher than that without spiking over 12psi. Need to get it inspected today (before the CEL eventually pops back on) and clean the interior.

 

[ZealoustheEnder]

Got rained on four times yesterday dropping my forged motor back in my old speed. Just a hand full of stuff to do to complete it.

Sweet! I'm almost at 148k!

Dude, that sucks! I hope it doesn't rain when I do the clutch and flywheel on my MSP.

Looking at buying an engine block with a crankshaft... you know why.

 

[livelyjay]

Worked on fixing some rock chips on the passenger side and the small rust spot on the front right fender. Second coat of touch up will go on today, clear coat tomorrow.

 

[xtreme velocity]

Well you guys ruined your chance to get to see my car. haha Mine is all rice and no go

Look at the Pope side mount setup. PM if you can't find info on it.

If your gonna clearcoat them don't waste aby time or money on headlight kits. New or old. Just get some 800 wrdry and wet sand the crap out of them to get rid of yellowing/haze. You could start with 600 but finish 800. Any higher and clear won't stick.
Use a good quality 2k clear and laydown two to three nice wet coats. No sanding between.
I likethe valspar cause I can lay a nice full coverage wet coat, go sit for 20 minutes and do it again.
Two coats is plenty.
If the clear isn't as nice as you like you can wet sand 2500 and polish the cleat in 3 days. Maybe a week for 2k rattlecan. Do not try to machine polish 1k clear if you use it.
