What have you done to your MSP today?

[Jaleik]

I take offense to that....but since I am a fatter gentleman, I needed....how do you say....a little more...

so now, the new turbo for the msp....

u should use the little one to spool the big one!

 

[SCMP3]

Haha that would work

 

[Jaleik]

So I fixed the timing belt on my other protege, it was exactly what I thought had happened: I timed it perfectly... using the E marks on both cams. At least that was an easy fix and as soon as I set it correctly it started right up.

Of course because of that I had no time to change my turbo and install the haltech im hoping to do that this weekend and possibly get it dyno tuned monday/tuesday.

God damn you people are tall! I'm pushing like 5'10" on a good day... Haha!

im rite there with you at 5'9" got a good 30lbs on cleverfrog tho. i like to lift things up and put them down. lol

 

[Jaleik]

Anyone know where I can get a replacement adjustment nut/bolt for the p/s belt?

 

[mebarsh]

junkyard or dealership. unless you find something that just works.

hmm so got a abs code this morning when i got to work. looks like my front drivers side got some of the sheathing rubbed off. Anyone know if i can just wrap it in electrical tape and make the code go away ?

 

[SCMP3]

I would think that would work. Is it grounding on something?

 

[2.0t03speed]

i'm guessing it grounded against the hub. i'm going to try and find some electrical tape and wrap it up before i drive it again

 

[2.0t03speed]

just looked in the trunk of the protege. 4 zip ties and a roll of electrical tape were just sitting there hahaha.

 

[mebarsh]

my wire tuck is pretty much done =D.

I think that battery needs to go in the trunk.

02 Miata or 04 RX8? $6900 vs. $8000. 72k vs. 62k. Silver vs. Blue. 5spd. vs. 6spd.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

04 RX8 was the bad year....pass. Unless the motor has already been replaced.

I'm familiar with the "issues" they had, but seeing as how it only has 62k and seems to be in good condition and no hot start issues...
