What have you done to your MSP today?

got a nice little dent and marks from the grocey store parking lot on my passenger front door, of course no sorry note or anything like that left behind
 
i was near the rear, with the passenger side next to an empty cart return. How it got there I don't know.
 
I ALWAYS park in the rear too, I don't care how far away it is... o.O

Yesterday, I greased my rear bushings and installed a set of GT Spec trailing arms that had been banging around in my trunk for nearly a year. Truthfully, I bought them mainly for aesthetic purposes, but I was pleasantly surprised by the improved chassis feel... (yippy)
 
Cleaned up that quad post lol


But bought a case of 5w-30 and got a new filter to do a oilchance when I get a chance. Darn cold weather. But I did take my car out of the garage to go to Wawa and advance auto. First time in 2 weeks. But my garage has cracks in the roof and it leaks on my car. Forgot to cover the window and there's effin limescale on the window. Augh! I need a razor place to try to scrape it up.... It covered now but it's to late :( also my car needs to be washed badly lol
 
Yesterday i made and installed a fuel pressure reducer, just like the Joe P setup and it works like a charm. Car runs great under boost very minimal hesitation. Still stumbles a little between 3500-4000 rpm but i'm leaning towards a spark issue for that one.
 
went to drive it and then realized parking lot was sheet of ice and I now owned a car-cicle. Sheet of ice on all parts of the car

So is the upgraded FPR an alternate solution to EMS? Or is there a benefit to having both?

Speaking of EMS, I am finally getting reliable answers for the AEM FIC thanks to various members poking their heads out of the shadows. Thankfully there are still MSP owners with knowledge of this product whether they still have it installed or not. For anyone thinking about swapping their SSAFC or choosing the FIC as a first EMS, I strongly encourage you to read my thread. There is much to be learned but I am confident the end will justify the means.

Added new tires, the 79K mile stock RE040's were looking a little worse for wear. I finally know what inclement weather traction feels like again.
 
I got a car wash 2 days ago and we got blasted with snow!!! Nice thing is the snow is just falling off the car, but it took me 3 hours to unbury her!! just to know I cant drive down the street until the Chicago city plows come through which wont be till Sat!! looks like I'll be driving the Jeep to work.

CEL came on after my last fill up at the gas station and has been on all this time. Went to go fill up today and decided to go to autozone to get the code read. The CEL went off as I was pulling into the autozone parking lot.

you can still read the code, its just stored instead of active.
