and would this side mirror work with the msp??

Yes it will bolt up and plug in and work like a mirror. No it will not look like a stock mirror.
Msp's had fully painted mirrors where as regular proteges had a half painted cap and the rest was an abs black textured plastic.
All 01-03 parts from the front doors forward are the same, give or take minor differences.
Your msps are not that special to be entirely different from the p5s or proteges. (evil)
Mirrors, headlights, bumper, and grille are all different for the msp and the fender is different on the msp and p5 because it has a hole for the side skirt (not a huge deal there though)

Mirrors are the same, just painted different. Headlights are not different for sedans but for p5s(the fit the same though), grille on msps and p5s are the same, and a hole can be drilled in the fenders.
Thats what I call, minor differences.
w00t!
i hope i get the call today, i cant wait to have a built MSP and more boost(alright) if not today then probably monday or tuesday

I've been told that the trick is to avoid letting it idle a long time or hold steady at a high speed for a long time. In other words, , drive easy but take it up and down, up and down, up and down through the R's for 50 - 100 miles and drive normal but go easy for another 400 miles. After that you can put the hammer down whenever you want.
NO MATTER WHAT< AVOID THOSE HIGH RPM s****!!!

I'd set the timer to 1 minute at the beginning. You wont be pushing it hard enough to need more than that.

ok so i got to ask sense i have heard both and need some oppinions, when breaking in the motor is it best to drive it like i normaly drive it, or take it eazy on it no high rpm s**** and all that for 500 miles?
Here's an article I read some time ago, I think someone kight have posted it on here before. Some pretty good info.http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

Mirrors are not just painted different they are different material all together so they are not the same. Msp had no bumper markers. All p5 grilles were black all msp grilles were color matched.
And I am pretty positive the grey sedan headlights and the black msp headlights are different but I am not gonna stand by that until I can look into it

Well like he said it's a very controversial topic. I've never done it myself but with experience like that I don't see why you couldn't trust it.

Man, I don't know... I have bikes too, and his method is exactly how we seat the rings on them. But they are 4-stroke, small displacement, single cylinder motors. I've never heard anyone say that the same method should be used on larger four cylinder motors too.
The up and down method is for the same thing; to seat the rings and valves and I know its safe. But I see the logic in what he says too....
