I ran open DP for a week. She was freking loud and would shoot flames under the motor.

I'm running open DP right now. Not too bad, no flames, but definitely loud as hell! No problems with a 200+ mile drive over the weekend.

hahaha yeah that's pretty fun to do. I LOVE the fact that when I'm on the turnpike it's so loud that people automatically get out of my way!!
MSP almost left me stranded Wednesday night. Turned the key and got nothing. Messed with the alarm system reset, pulled battery wire, etc and got nothing when turning the key. Battery still had plenty of juice. Reached around the engine to see if I could reach the starter, and I could, then on a whim I tried starting it again and it fired right up. My best guess is that the signal wire to the starter is messed up. I had to mangle that wire when I dropped the transmission the replace the clutch, so I'm thinking it just has a bad connection now.
Either way, my MSP is getting long in the tooth mileage wise and rust-wise. The winters have not been kind to it. It might be time to move on to another MSP, an MS3, a Mini JCW, BMW 135i, etc.

I'll probably be parting ways with my MSP sooner or later. I sold my MX5 today and the MSP is next. It would be a good starting point for you if you want to make power but not a good choice if you wanted it fairly stock. The block and head are the only stock parts on the car power plant wise, it has cryo treated gear sets and welded diff housing so the trans is ready for more power. Black FMIC and shaved trunk lid on a Sunlight Silver 03.5.

Hail came through earlier and beat down on the 8 and the MSP as well as the 6... I'm only really concerned with the MSP because it has limited liability only. If it's damaged, it'll be on CL tomorrow for dirt cheap.

if youre going to be selling it for dirt cheap you might as well return it back to stock, sell your aftermarket parts and make a little bit of cash, then sell it on CL for aforementioned "dirt cheap" price

probably fine, add some sta-bil just as a precaution.

yeah, if anything I'll be staying out of boost until thats all gone... I think it was like 3/4 of a tank which sucks too.
I just want to drive the MSP again.

I feel your pain. I just installed all these suspension goodies (ksport RR coilovers, whiteline control arm bushings, new ball joints, cusco lower tiebar) and cant get an alignment yet. So, Ive only been brave enough to go around the neighborhood. Feels so stiff and tight. Fix yours already lol
