What have you done to your MSP today?

Aw that sucks! I DEFINITELY wanted the Mazda. I didnt ask for the DOHC to be removed, but I gotta admit it looks ssssoo clean and simple. Yours iiiiis polished too tho. Thats not too shabby either lol
 
core support?.. reason im asking is i got a plastic rad patch and it ended up failing also... also i broke the resevoir return nipple thing lol.. this radiator i keep busting lol... mishimoto hopefully and bit the bullet for a fmic set up
 
So after a couple downhill runs yesterday I pull into the pull off and my EBC rotors, and Hawk HPS pads are pouring smoke! Can't go to a big brake kit, won't clear the 15" wheels/race tires, so wtf am I supposed to do? It just really sucks because the HPS pads are very new, maybe 1000 miles on them. It has never done it before, and granted yesterday was pretty hot, but to me that's unacceptable seeing that I am running upgraded brake components. So what's better than my EBC/Hawk setup?

Don't brake? :p
 
or brake cooling ducts perhaps?

Great idea! I have always wanted to incorporate some sort of ducting from the foglight block off plates to the brakes. We'll have to see if there's any room in there to run the ducting.

I think first I'm gonna spend some money on either EBC Reds, or some Carbotech race pads and see how that does.
 
Msp Failure! Nnnnnnooooooo!!!!!!!

The Msp made its way to the ennis meet, but it was a good thing that we didn't go to Dallas. Sunday afternoon when on the way back home from seeing family, the water pump failed. Luckily we 15 mins from the house. Good thing it happened today instead of Friday when comming back from ennis.

And of course nothing is ever easy. So one of the wires snapped, and the boot got stuck in the plug hole. So figured it was a good time to get a new set of plugs.

How about slightly bigger brakes from the ms6?
