No coilovers or part out sorry.

If I can recommend anything for that, take your time mocking it up cuz I had to put mine halfway into that bolt boss.

that silver almost looks blue? looks good though and no, primer is never optional with any paint project you want to last more than a season. id use an etch primer or epoxy on bare metal.
as for swapping mbsp... all i did on my p5 was drill a 9/16 hole and run a 3/8 npt tap through it. did it in the car even, dropped the pan and just used a ton of grease inside and outside, drilled slow. no problems at all with the fitting and i think it cost me under $10. id almost leave the msp one out as you prob plan to do a engine build? might as well just have that engine all fully assembled on the bench so you dont have to dick around swapping anything later.
just me though. since you will have the trans out its no big deal to swwap the plate, but you have already painted that one all nice and neat =)
I had an awful return that tan parallel to my downpipe, under the engine and to the rear of my AWR. I'm nor going to use this setup since I now have an MSP OEM MBSP
What do you mean by that? I'm sorry, I don't follow. You had to put your WHAT halfway into WHAT? (dunno)
Also, can you send me a link to that oil drain fitting?
Look at the pic in the link I sent. Closely. Then look at preferios.
The fitting is 3/8npt 45bend and a 3/8npt to 5/8 hose barb put together.
Indeed sounds like a maga flush is in your future. My old school mechanic told me to forget the over the shelf products and just use Cascade dish washing powder. Running it for a hundred miles or so then flush it real good.I've driven the msp more this week than the last 6 months combined and two issues have surfaced.
1. The heater core is mostly plugged and slowly mixing rust and crud into my coolant and passing the occasional bubble that's causing heating issues. I'm going to have to drain the coolant and aggressively flush the core to clean everything up...
2. The car hates its accessory belts. The PS belt refuses to ride nicely (it was thrown completely off on the highway today) and the alternator belt has a ragged edge that tells me the crank pulley might be the source of the issue. There's only one thing both belts have in common so I have to pull my crank pulley and give it a thorough check over. Maybe its time to get a hydra and see if that cures the issue.
Other than these issues, its fast, fun, and relatively quiet. I'm dialing in the tune and I think I'll see 375 at the wheels at about 19 psi when its all said and done. What could a gt30 and some cams do??? 450-500 at the wheels sounds completely useless but it would be fun to bench race. Its crazy how fast cars have gotten in the last few years. A front driver with over 300 hp was a really fast car 10 years ago. Now unless its 500+ its just a footnote.

We're are still waiting to hear what a P.E.P exhaust sounds like.

I had that issue a few months ago on my old built engine. It would look to be tracking off by one rib or so then eventually work it's way out another rib. Could not find evidence the crank pulley was causing the problem. I even went so far as to considering the the crank walking, but when I tore it down last weekend, the thrust bearings weren't worn excessively. Power steering pump shaft didn't have any in and out movement either. The engine is completely new, but I am reusing my power steering pulley and (new) belt. We'll see if it continues.
And you're using a Unichip, Tom?
With orange virus cracking the ecu. You might be able to dump the extra wiring.I'll get some video the next time the car is out. Based on the weather it will probably be at least a few days.
I'm running a disco potato so I'm going to be just about maxing it out at 375 wheel. A gt30 in a t2 frame is increasingly interesting to me.
At least I'm not the only one with the stupid belt walk problem. Mine walked about 2 ribs almost instantly and then stayed put for 450 miles. I've tried every trick I can think of... I'll probably just pull the trigger on the crank pulley. 4 lbs of mass off the crank sounds good and will go nicely with my 11 lb flywheel. The car should rev like mad.
Yep, the q+ - I like a lot of things about it and there's no doubt I could easily run 1000+ cc injectors and fuel just about anything. There are only a couple downsides to it versus a standalone. There's a lot of wiring I would love to dump, but I don't want to stare at a check engine light. I'd also like to go COP with some hotter coils. Aside from that I still have a fully functioning OBDII port, I don't have to tune idle, cold start, hot start, cruise, etc, and the install took 20 minutes rather than the 10 hours I spent building a custom harness for the KL-T swap I did.

Sent you a friend request so I can tag uHave a link?
Guy is still trying to sell his on the parts page. Plus I'm sure they can whip one upI just popped over to Hydra's site to order the crank pulley and they're out of stock. Maybe I'll do some CAD, get some stock, and cut one myself. I'd have to buy a broach though. Is anyone else making crank pulleys?
