102,000 km before it almost totally went, car is stock. It started slipping around 97,000 km, noticed when i couldnt top 140 km with slipping, by the time i got it to the shop driving up hill was almost impossible. New act 4 puck racing disc and presure plate are quite nice though.

This is just a friendly reminder that with anything aftermarket that you dont have the time to install or can't install yourself, you should take it to a shop with a good rep instead of a dealership or franchise garage. On one hand I can understand why you would be pissed,but work was done, no...

I noticed mine was hella dirty yesterday, I might try one of those methods before i sell the car shortly, give it that extra glow...The thought did cross my mind of trying taco bell hot sauce (not while the heat shield was hot) due to the amazing shine it gives pennys and other change...but...

Hey, I figured while im dumping tons of cash into the ol MSP, might as well do up my brothers MSM as well. Was going to get a standalone EMS for his and up the boost as well, anyone know a reasonably safe level of boost for the MSM? I figured the 1.8 would be very boost friendly.

Hey all, has anyone heard of the company perfect power? They make piggybacks and standalones. I was recently in a shop getting an order ready for pistons/rods and possible propane injection (hump) when they asked if i would like to grab one of the perfect power standalones as well for the car...

My tranny went in the same manor, except it was 4th that went, was left with 3rd, 2nd and 1st...by the time i got off the highway, everything but 1st gear was gone. Sounded like bolts in a blender. Was covered under warrenty, took over a month, and they changed my dif to the new p.o.s.

10,000 more km and I hit 100,000 km, which means im looking at getting a timeing belt installed. Instead of getting the service done, I was considering getting a v6 2.5l KLZE 210 hp motor for $1100 US, and spending some serious money on new clutch, exaust, turbo, ecu... and have a friend of...

Well to add to the winter fun, my controls for air in the car are sorta funky now, settings 1,2,3 produce no blow (bj) , but 4 works. Anyone else have this come up? I will be taking it to the dealership but just seeing if any other msp's had this come up.

I use the 15" steeleys with Hancook tires for my MSP, went through every snow and ice storm last year no problem, I would actually drive up and down the driveway (its freakin long) to make a path so my brother could get to work. Unfortunatly I'll probably still be driving the rental Civic for...

Glad you stuck with it, I've thought for a moment about selling mine to get some money to do up an old Opel GT, but I could never part with this car. Surprized on how many of my friends try and get me to trade in the car for something else "dood guy get a VW or an STI, your car looks like the...
