Since I will be doing quite a bit of work on the MSM this summer I figured I'd get a build thread going. I'll start off by listing what has been done so far.
Step # 1: Bought a stock 04 MSM.


Step # 2: Insert larger intercooler

Step # 3: Boost Gauge
Step # 4: 2.5 Turbo Back Exhaust (side pipe out of drivers side)... Photos to come.
Step # 5: Insert Roll Bar (M2)


Step # 6: 225/45ZR-15 Toyo Proxies on TRMotorsport C1 Wheels. Tien Lowering Springs.


Step #7: Minor detailing (tints, debadging, black seats) more to come this spring. Weather needs to be warmer.


What to look forward to:
This summer I will be installing a MS ECU with new fuel injectors, fuel pump (Walbro 255LPH High Pressure), and wideband O2 sensor (DM6 Gauge & SM AFR2 Sensor Kit).
NEXT year I hope to upgrade the turbo and install some Xida shocks.

What I do not know at this point in time is:
If the general membership of this forum is "gay" because they drive miatas, what's that make you?

You talk like you might stick around more than two weeks. That doesn't happen with the ladies on this forum much. The 18psi types run them off pretty much right away.

He might like it and (hopefully) much cleaner.
I'm starting to like you already.

Small update, but a big one! engine, ECu/ wiring done! harnesses and seats fully installed... ready for the road just need to do some street tuning and than its off to the dyno!! so close if the weather would stop raining here we would be golden.
so Crank Case Vent set up built , egr Deleted and removed. all the Evap Junk Gone! Nonsense and no emmissions in MI.
we are hopeing for 250 + HP at the wheels on stock turbo with some higher boost levels.. we have the fuel system to support well over 400 HP just going to be chocked out by the stock turbo for now.... Blahh



more exterior photos will follow once weather clears!

Jesus Christ, what is that thing? Your breather line?? Zip tie it to the shock tower brace or something! My eyes!
It looks really tight too. I'd be slightly worried you'd snap that 180* fitting with a little rocking.

Getting everything ordered for when the MS arrives to do it all in one shot.
