What have you done to your MSP today?

Preferio, I'd give you $4k right now for your car. haha. I paid $5k for mine...huge mistake.

I also paid 5k for mine but it came with a steedspeed v2, Brand new 626 intake manifold, test pipe, brand new radiator, dual gauge cluster cover, foglight delete covers, supertone horns, injen cai and that's about all I can recall lol
 
You wanna.talk worthwhile... I got my msp when it was 5 years old. Paid $14000 cdn for it with no mods lol. Keeping it til it rusts apart.
 
I paid $5300 for mine 03/2011 stock except for the Tokico's.

The manifold is ready to be picked up! I now have EVERYTHING ready for install. Hope to leave the shop an hour or two early so I can have that much more daylight/warmth to get it complete tonight.

Also, had a Ford Fusion come into the shop (which isn't a regular occurrence because I work for a medium/heavy duty truck shop now) and the fleet is requesting tires even though the Goodyear Eagle LS-2's are in good shape with a few miles left on them. Was in the market for tires for the 8, so I think I'll throw these on to buy me some more time which also means that money can go towards the MSP.
 
Replaced the thermostat in #2. I have never "had" to replace one, always just did it as maintenance. Had no heat and the engine temps would drop every time the car would move. Good Times...

Well I guess mine WAS modded...hahahahahahha. It had some "sweet" Sparco, NOS, etc. stickers on the other side too.
 
Meh. I've seen much much worse. The definition of rice has become very lenient. At least those mods are easy to remove. Interior looks ugly though.
 
Unless you had a tmic wtf would you want that hood lol. I think there was a coweled aftermarket hood like that but it could be custom. At least its a clean custom.

I agree but I figured they might be some with no scoop lol.
 
I'm tired of working on the car, outside and in the cold. I fabricated a WGA bracket today, so I should have everything done tonight...
 
Pictures speak louder than words.

No time for pixxorz!!!

I just need to install the radiator and charge piping and I'll be done for now. And the EGR pipe I extended for my eBay manifold needs to be replaced with one of my other OE EGR tubes. And I need to remove one of the fans from my Mishimoto because it's dead. Realistically, I've got an hour of work besides the EGR. I don't have any open end wrenches larger than a 22mm at the house, so I couldn't do it last night.
 
Bought an extra low profile jack today. Been wanting one for quite some time now so I finally got one that was on sale for $130. Cleaned up the garage a bit so now I have more room around the msp to do things. Also started to take off body panels.

Gonna try to sit down next week and see what's the extent of the rust. Hopefully I won't need to be welding in new metal anywhere.

Anyone have luck rustproofing with por15?
