What have you done to your MSP today?

[littlemimus]

Exactly what I did on Thursday/Friday. That was the first time I have ever clay barred, or waxed my car, and I have owned it for 3.5 years, lol. Honestly though there were very few contaminents in the clear, so the clay bar didn't do much. It did work great for getting the bugs off the front though.

yeah it was weird i clayed it but like there wasnt that much bad stuff.

yeah the tranny is working. lol

still working on polishing my left-over Gen III M90 supercharger off my old 99 gtp...what a pain

 

[Wildfyre]

Replaced my tranny fluid with Redline MT-90. Shifts a bit better but the change isn't extreme by any means.

A few days ago, I installed my AEM CAI and fixed the rattle my adjustable rear end link was making over bumps.

Now, I just need to fix the cracked thunder manifold and get a new right/rear brake caliper =\

 

[mildsalsa]

washed her up, n shined the tires

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

My header leak is getting worse... Before it would go away when it warmed up, now i can hear it at idle and its definitely down on power. If I wasn't working 70 hours a week I'd have it fixed by now...

 

[theEZV]

yea man im pretty sure my mani is craked too

 

[Spiced MSP]

it looks like my manifold is starting to crack in two areas. It's not leaking yet, but I can see where they will start eventually

0_o. can cracked mani's be fixed or do we gotta get a new one

 

[theEZV]

you should be able weld the cracks i would think. i'll probably go for a thunder mani. those dont crack. oh wait...... lol

 

[cruton5]

installing motor mount inserts. that is actually a big pain in the ass, and I thought it would be all easy

I remember hearing about someone taking their manifold to a professional welder and getting it welded up but I don't know how long it held up. If or when mine does crack. Im just going to replace it with an aftermarket replacement or get the manifold kit from Sam and make a custom manifold.

whats a nice and cost effective drop in replacement?

cost effective is to weld yours, or get a thunder V2.

Otherwise pick up a steedspeed.

think i need new rotors/pads up front at the least. the faster you go, the steering wheel rumbles back and forth. either that or the tire shop ****** up ballancing the front tires i borrowed, and failing that, i ****** up somehow rebuilding the control arm assembly.

i dont think my 15's did it, but meh.

probably gonna get some all seasons for them and take my sweet ass time repairing the racing harts/getting super sticky tires for the summer.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

its only the brakes if the vibration comes when you apply them. otherwise I'd bet on wheel balance being out.

 

[Valk]

should i get the front aligned if i took the control arm off and lef the wheel hub assembly hanging on a bucket?

i might put two of my 15's back on and find out if thats the problem but im laaaazy.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

wouldn't hurt, but if its not pulling its likely not too far out. I haven't realigned since I put in my drop, partly because I'm not too worried about tire wear, but my snows didn't show any unusual wear and they very likely would have if anything was too far out.

 

[Valk]

well its weird the steering wheel will shake side to side more the faster you go. just cruisin in the city you never notice. just at highway speeds.

Get your wheels balanced & rotated.

 

[theEZV]

i had the same issue. balancing solved the problem
