What have you done to your MSP today?

[StealthWyvern]

no, i said i would order it this week...and i finally did...now the wait begins...the thing that sucks is that i have to ship off my boost gauge this weekend...so i won't be installing it until that gets back.

Why would you ship out your boost gauge?

 

[stdntDrvr]

it is being replaced under warranty...both the boost and oil pressure...the backlighting is not working.

will you ever buy another one?

 

[Shadow102]

will you ever buy another one?

highly doubt it. It was a fun car but pricewise and what you can do with it i would rather something else. Probably the reason i am going the integra route next

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

that is true they are expensive to mod and not that fast unless you get crazy with it.


i installed my daveb gauge rings today.

common autometer problem. Its just a bad calibration

does that mean my boost and vac readings are off?

 

[magnumP5]

I hear a slight whistling down beside the passenger wheel well and I've noticed boost is not building very quickly. Sounds like a boost leak to me. Something to do tomorrow...

 

[SwirlFX]

i had this problem and i finally found the leak.

its what terbow suggested, the sealant is cracked.

i had to tear the carpet up and everything. i was lucky, the crack stopped right where the back right side of the dash started. i did not want to have to remove the dash.

I have the car pulled apart right now. Where is this Seam I need to fix.

the back right corner on the passenger side. so stick your head underneath the dash and look towards the back right of the firewall. with all the trim, carpet, and sound deadening material removed, you will be able to see the sealant they used. i could see a visible crack in the sealant stopping right before the dash began.

wha happened????

 

[SleepyMSP]

I killed my super rear end link clunk in the back...for the first time...ugh, well ever I have a quiet rear end.

Also I notice (and I have no Idea how) that my rear sway bar is warped, there is like 1/2" difference in the size of the end link on the right and the left to set the bar up to no be pre-loaded

 

[Shadow102]

wha happened????

trans went out several months ago and got sick of trying to repair the problem internally along with only finding overpriced high milage transmission that were far away so i just sold it.

I thought its only supposed to go to 0 on startup when it does its calibration. On shutoff i thought it just stops wherever. Thats what mine does. I could be wrong though.

Damn, sorry to hear. But I don't blame you. My car's been a pain in the a$$. As much as I've spent on it, I could've had a nice little $40k car by now that CAME with 300+ hp and a bullet proof tranny. (freak)
