What have you done to your MSP today?

[Jaleik]

Change the pads and rotors yourself, its really not that hard to do and you could spend the rest of that money getting better ones.

Autometer boost gauge finally gave up today in this cold weather. Oh well, it lasted 6+ years.

What's crazy is that you've been able to drive your MSP for 6 years without the desire to sell it... Not many people can say that.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

lol I bought my car new...so I've been driving it for 8+ years without that urge.

Even better.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I havent screwed with mine much...subtle things and never turned up boost. Plus I've maybe had to put a couple hundred bucks towards repairs outside of typical maintenance reparts. (nana)




*knocks on wood*

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

Bah....I forget what size the gauge is in the column pod I have....

 

[destineal]

52mm?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I think its Autometer #4301

 

[SCMP3]

52mm?

Didn't we say no post till vids are done

 

[destineal]

deja vu. I predict disappointed "what have you done to your MSP today" thread subscribers.

We had a cluster **** at work that turned a 3:30 morning into a 7:30 morning. None the less, I shall not get back on Mazdas247 until I upload the start up(successful or not) vid.

Tell Michelle, not to wait up for me.

i got mine in june of 04 with 36 miles on it. I havent had a single repair other than what i put on the car (mam stuff, CS, thunder) but now my car is really f#$%^$

A bummer dude. I've always been a fan of your car. Yours is one that actually has something original done to it. I can honestly say I've never seen a setup like yours.

ok so i bypassed the coolant going to the turbo, still smoking. inside my oil cap is light colored oil but my compression is 180 180 173 180.. that head gasket? im so confused. when i did an oil change last week there wasnt coolant in oil. im loosing coolant daily and it drives like s***.

im thinking head gasket but i want to make sure its not rings or something else. i have to do whatever repair in a drive way in winter weather so i want it to be right haha

Random question, how do your plugs look? If there's coolant leaking past the head gasket, won't it show on the plugs?
