Rings look awesome with the silver needle centers don't they!!! Good work!
(But what's up with the column pod?)

it had to come off to get the cluster out... didn't get it properly fastened back down yet...

Edit: Fixed.

btw, thanks a ******* bunch to whatever idiot wrapped the alarm LED around the harness enough times so that it ha NO slack whatsoever.

that forcefed pod is just supposed to sit there right? its not clamped down or anything?
 
does that alarm led pop off easily?

When I did mine I just traced the wire back to the connector and unhooked it there. Untangle the mess they made wrapping it up in the loom and it comes out with the dash bezel.
 
no, you gotta go under the dash, disconnect it, and then (i dunno if everyones is like this) unwind it from around a harness. comes out with the bezel.

ah i see. thanks. last time i took the surround piece off i didnt try to yank the led off. aint wanna break it :)
 
I put 2 lower control arms on the msp today. now the damn noise over bumps/dips/road changes.. is all gone!

next, wheel bearings. then brakes. THEN paint i can't wait..
 
You know you're gonna wanna keep it once you put all this work into. The first week I had mine I got a CEL and the Mazda dealership basically told me I was gonna have to replace my entire turbo. Turns out my WGA diaphragm was torn, replaced that. Figured out what my CEL is REALLY being caused by, and it's still there (cause I'm too damn lazy to fix it). The Moral? After week one of owning it, I wanted to drive it through Heritage VW's (in Douglasville GA) front window. I was hoping to take out the guy who sold it to me too. After owning it for little over 2 years, I am so glad I still have it.

Sidenote. If you live in GA... do not, under any circumstances, purchase a vehicle from the Heritage Motor Group. They are cowardly assholes who's main objective is to sell you a vehicle and then throw customer service of the ******* radar.
 
i'm really not too worried about it. i'm good to sell it. i like it a lot, but then again, i technically have one at my shop waiting to be worked on.
 
Nice. Let me know next time you get into this kinda crap. i got a blaster and a polisher at my disposal....(glare)
 
wow...ass primer? is that to prevent the burn your asshole gets after taking an atomic dump?

I got one of those coming up soon... Ate some freakin hot nachos earlier

On a side note, I got into my first car accident this weekend.












Thankfully NOT the MSP, but it was my girl's '06 G35 coupe. Cop said it was my fault, but I got pics and the full story to go into another post soon. The short of it was I was trying to pull through a gap in traffic to get into the center "Turn both ways" lane to merge into traffic. Cars had stopped short of the drive to let me through and I had started to inch my way forward. Some asshat in a Charger came barreling down the center lane to skip the traffic and make it to the light, 200+ yards further down the road, and clipped the nose of the G35. Cop said I was at fault for "not yielding to traffic," but the way I look at it, the other guy was illegally using the center lane. Insurance is covering it, but I'm gonna be nice and pay the deductible... Very lame though

WTF that is totally not your fault. that cop probably just doesn't like imports.
