Similar to me. My motor stalled at a busy intersection. Thankfully a police officer pulled up and helped push my car into the gas station parking lot. I had hot start issues too. The motor would need to cool down before starting. I had low compression in the rear rotor and coolant leak.

well i do have a fully built turbo motor in my MX 1.8BP bored over to a 2.0L with monster cams the works. good for about 450 whp reliably wouldent be hard to convert it to a RWD platform....
but honestly I am not sure. stick with the MSP or go with something different, I know one thing is the MSP is expensive as hell to even rebuild. not even worth my time for 1500-1800 dollars to do it myself. Pineapple is the best place i have found thus far for pricing warranty reliability, have to decide if i want to stay N/A or go forced ind. then its turbo vs supercharger. i have a lot of ideas floating around its just money to do it.

Yah, the 20b is what I have been looking into, it is the hizzle. its either a stock 20b or a bad *** rebuild with a SC. hmm both will cost me about the same.
the biggest part is the wiring for the 20b, but i have been told there are ways to not have to go with a stand alone...

Not the rebuild I have planned....*evil laugh*
If i do it im going to spend the money and do it rite and get the most out of it N/A I can.. I will probably just throw on a M62 cheep and available and should get me just what I want out of it. We will have to see in the coming months

In Gig Harbor, I spotted a very very rare 2006 Shinka Copper Red. ^_^ I love that color, almost bought one brand new in 06, instead I got a evo..... biggest mistake ever!

yesterday in traffic on the 405 south just past Bellevue. Black series 1 with after-market front, didn't recognize the style of the front cover. looked pretty stock otherwise.

black on black, full MS kit, knight sports wings with black offset 18 WORK VSXX wheels... yah... That was me 
my motor gave out, have to replace her and i'm high mileage so no dealer replacement. freakin sux
