What have you done to your MSP today?

Recirculated my HKS SSQV III yesterday, she's running a lot better now:) just miss the sound, back to the ol' turkey I guess.. Now for new brakes!
 
To be honest, to all the griping and complaining about these cars... I'd take back my Spicy over my current reliable Toyota anyday. Gotta make mistakes so we'll learn I suppose.

I wouldn't go back if you paid me. Fun though the car was... it just doesn't stack up, plus I got the same "uniqueness" factor in the new car. I think i've seen 3 other onces on the road in as many months.

no i wasn't saying that you can always move it but more or less that just because you can move it doesn't mean that the diff isn't broken.

understood, absolutely. Its not an absolute either way.

Funny part is the shop that did my repair wrote on the WO that they verified it being a blown diff by trying to move the car.

Thats funny the shop who is doing my work actually drove my car down the street and back and said it was a shot clutch... only to find out the clutch looks almost new thats already in it!

Edit: When they tried to drive it into the bay it couldn't even make it up the slight incline...

Well I didn't work on the msp today but i did the front brakes in my wifes saturn L200. Yeah they were a b****! It took me longer to do the front on her car than doing all 4 on the msp and miata combined. Whoever did them last time, really f-ed up the allen bolts holding the caliper on. It was fun fighting with them for about 3 hours.

I see GTO's all the time, had one jackass keep gunning his automatic on the interstate tonight just to slow down and do it again.
 
Today after having saved up money over the past year. I got my coilovers in the mail and installed them. Tomorrow driving down to IA.

yeah I think so, It was just kinda funny to me when you hear the exhaust get a little louder, then quiet to drop down a gear then get loud again. He waved everytime like we were racing but I had a car right in front of me everytime.

congrats on your purchase but 3 things are needed...

1. what brand did you go with?
2. did you get an alignment?
3. WHERE ARE THE PICS?

Try it when the boot is gone and the caliper bolt and slide is rusted solid. Now that sucks. I just hit 100k today. WOOOO
 
got the 505 intake mani cleaned and inspected........ everything is ready to go just need to install it. Got lucky and there was no damage to it from sandspeeds accident. Just a few scratches. One more piece to the puzzle left and thats the turbolife.
