So...I hadn't driven my genpu ms3 since last June (2024). Just sat in the driveway wasting space. No working AC, 230k miles, you do the math lol.
Anyways, been researching new rides for myself pretty much during any free time I've had since January.
Then Michelle tells me she doesnt want her...
Welp,
Last June we got a 3rd dog.
Our pups:
-Mazzie- 5 year old girl, 45lb
-Stormi- turns 3 in May, 30lb
-Brewer- Turns 1 on Thursday, 90lb and growing still.
And once Brewer was past 4 months, fitting all 3 in the back of a civic si or the back of my gen pu (with the back seats down) was not...
Hey guys.
So as most of you know, the ms6 with its new sleeved motor died at 2700 miles in.
Machine shop basically said to fuck off. So I was at a cross roads.
Michelle gave me an ultimatum:
-the ms6 either sits in the back yard until we're married, have our first kid and have a new house
-or...
The time has come to finally get my built motor going after spending a year recovering from the previous machine shop fucking my block and sleeves and leaving me high and dry.
Parts on hand:
-2 spare short blocks with good cranks
-spare head
-Darton Dry Sleeves
-King TriMetal pMax black rod and...
I'm incapable of making good decisions, y'all.
Picked up a WWP Ms6 from my homie @Timspeed3 yesterday. Car was originally brought to Ohio in 2013 with 39k miles by our friend Eric. It was bone stock at the time. In the time he owned it, he added an HTP 3" Intake, Forge V1 bpv, Cp-e TMIC...
So after selling my 06 ms6 and the 07 ms3 incurring body damage that wasnt worth fixing IMO considering it had a quarter million miles...i decided to look for an ms6 chassis to have my stuff swapped over to.
Rodney out in VA had an 07 GT with complete black leather interior with minimal rust...
So...
Will posts these videos on Fb, but goes over a lot of info. He's given me permission to rip them off fb and host them on my drop box, and I'll share them here.

E85, is it worth it? Should I Run E85 and Meth? E85 blends. Mod paths and proper maintenance...
Well, with built motor #1 being over 83k miles and somehow still kicking, I figured now is the time to get the ball rolling on a second motor.
Purchased/acquired so far:
- 87.5mm wiseco one-off pistons w/ 12.5:1 compression ratio, gas ports, exhaust valve reliefs, etc (thanks Mark / @Realgib3...
Ladies and germs, this won't be so much a build thread, but more of something to keep track of what I've done to my newly acquired ms6.
Picked up a 2006 wwp ms6 yesterday, had 157k on the clock. Rust free from FL, needs vvt, a PS pump, and some body work (if i feel like getting the body work...
I know we have a 60-100 thread, but figured I'd start a 60-130, since that's how a lot of the rest of the car world measures straight line speed/power aside from 1/4 mile times

Not sure if this is the right place to post it, but maybe can help folks who are showing not ready systems during emissions testing on parameters that haven't been disabled by their tuner.
Last week I had my slave cylinder fail on me. The rod overextended, pushed the black plastic ring off of the housing and into the boot, which then filled with fluid and I lost all clutch pedal pressure. The oring/seal on the rod was ripped, so I went ahead and purchased a new one from edge...
Soooo.... my car wont stay running.
Idles fine for a while and then eventually, RPM will drop like i flipped the key off, the CEL and Battery light will turn on for a sec, then rpm will shoot back up. Never throws a CEL. All grounds are clean and secure. Crank position wiring in the past has...
