What have you done to your MSP today?

i'm thinking about parting out the protege.. i really thought i'd be keeping it forever...but it might just be better suited in someone elses hands..
 
I plan on keeping mine forever. it's paid for and will be my son's someday. that's why I'm still modding it.
just put in new MM inserts for both sides and KartBoy shifter bushings with a new KartBoy SS I bought from a member on here.
 
everything was going good on the reinstall of the cylinder head and intake mani... until i noticed my breaker bar wasnt "clicking" at the recommended 13-16 ft lbs... and SNAP ended up breaking 2 head bolts....and 2 hrs later the broken pieces are out... now to figure out wtf.
 
I am thinking of parting my car out also guys. I dont know if I will sell it yet, but I am thinking of taking it back to stock, driving it until I graduate college (Next year) and prolly gonna get a C6 vette or a Evo and sell the mazda. Or actually I might just say screw the whole car thing and get a truck/SUV.
 
Yea I wanted to sell my car just the other day, but I guess I may as well keep it at least until I'm out of college. Then I can get a new daily and maybe swap this car for another project.

Oh and I reinstalled my stock headlights as well as a CX Racing intercooler to replace my Garrett. Everything went pretty well except the brackets to hold the core. I just can't find a good spot to mount it and I don't have any tools that can drill through the crash bar.

Picked up a cheap $25 brake bleeder from harbor freight, and bled all 4 brakes + Clutch.

Changed tranny fluid with 2qt synchromesh 1qt Lucas Heavy Duty Oil stabilizer

all i did to mount my cxracing was drill out the holes in the bracket bigger so the bolts fit, then mounted it from the underside on the two 10mm bolts that hold the bumper on. you still have the side bolts and top bolts.
I had to cut the front lip underside mounting peices off though.
