What have you done to your MSP today?

[Ricktalife]

well looks like i will be picking up more. how hard was the install? i have a midiveal trans mount sitting around lol just havent put it in.

I had a friend of mine do it since he is a mechanic, and the rear is pretty ridiculous to change without a lift. I would check the owners manual to verify how much gear oil our car takes.

found this on the site that shall not be named for gear oil they sel
box of 6 - 1 quart bottles - good for 2 changes
We recommend replacing the gearbox fluid every 15k miles

so 3 qts should be fine i suppose

 

[Ricktalife]

Yea I just read on a site that I too will not name, the protege take + or - 3.5 quarts.

standalone's wont throw cells if they are ran in paralel with the stock ecu. meaning the standalone with a pnp harness will have full control of the timing fuel trims injectors and spark. pm me for more info if any 1 is interested.

Well that good to know. I'll be running that exact setup, so if I end up throwing a check light... something is wrong.

KMR rear strut tower bar installed, next on the list is the rear deck speakers

got the rear speakers in but the right rears don't have any sound. Most likely a wire loose near the headunit. Something new to fix

looked in the trunk and I have water where my jack goes like everyone else, one more thing added to the list

Looks good Valk!


Edit: Put a good turbo back on the car again today and used the ATP WGA and for some reason my boost went up from 6/7psi! Its stupid quick and for the first time I hit boost cut around 11ish psi.

Crutchfeild threw them in with a wiring harrness for free so I figured what the hell. They are pretty thick, I think it will help block out the exhaust noise that just echos in the trunk

my mechanic wrote on it w/ a white paint marker (last inspection) and i was pissed. so i fixed it myself:

about half way thru sanding:

VHT high temp/caliper paint:

after first coat:

final product:

(also sanded/clear coated the mazdaspeed emblem (because it was pretty cloudy/yellow) and it turned out surprisingly very nice)

This page is full of excellent pics. Especially loving the white racing harts. I am really wanting to powdercoat mine this coming fall.
