titanium pics

[SaaBaaDoo]

Here are some pics of my 2003.5 Titanium MSP

[MarkSpark]

didnt work

[Newf]

no worko. Best thing to do is have two web browsers open. One for uploading the pics, and the other for posting the reply.

Basically, then you just copy paste the link in from where you manage files using one web browser, and into the other web browser that has your reply......hard to explain.

[MP3-Owner]

That's what I do :D

[Newf]

all else fails email to me and I'll post em :)

more pics from

SaaBaaDoo !!!

Big thanks to one of our newest member for sharing some pics of a car that seems to have very little pics of it anywhere. I mean, getting pics of the orange / black is obviously a joke, and the yellow is common as well, but this titanium is rare for some reason.

Looks great. Even though I own the 2003, I have no preference between the two styles. I'd be just as happy with either one.

Congrats!

Titanium is rare? According to Mazda's inventory search John Hine here in SD has EIGHT of them.

btw, Beautiful car!(2thumbs)

[Newf]

just the pics, not the cars

[Caffeine]

I called John hine and the guy said they dont have any for 2 months. He might have been a dumbass though so i will call them back.

Here are the VINS from the search I just did...
VIN: JM1BJ227230646043
VIN: JM1BJ227230646074
VIN: JM1BJ227430646044
VIN: JM1BJ227530646070
VIN: JM1BJ227730646071
VIN: JM1BJ227930645553
VIN: JM1BJ227930646069
VIN: JM1BJ227930646072

So either MazdaUSA.com's inventory search shows dealer allotment or pipeline for the speed or the guy you talked to is freakin blind. On a side note I was over there yesterday to try and get some bolts for my rack and didn't see any on the lot, but their lot is so freakin small they put most new inventory in storage.

[Caffeine]

Ill go down there this weekend then and break someones balls ... again

[TampaBlackMSP]

What's with the yellow 'R' for Reverse on the gear knob?! It looks like a generic 'type R' style letter that imo looks like sh*t - hey I know, it means you'll go really fast...

...in reverse! :wtf:

Of course, maybe it's the light, and I know I sound picky - not serious...

Beautiful car however! (2thumbs)

[Heathen23]

Great pics and welcome aboard!

[ozz]

little close to the curb hu

[Dexter]

hey yeah im sorry that shift knob is fuckin Type-R-ediculous. the rest of the car is beautiful though, and the shift knob can be changed. i was even thinking about painting the centers of the needles on my gauge cluser silver cuz it looks nice.

[TexP5]

Nice car. Is the new front end without the fogs just a lip or is it a whole new front end piece? Sorry for asking a stupid Q but haven't seen one of these in person yet and you can't tell from these pics.

[Newf]

I actually really like the Mazdaspeed knob better. I like how the colors of it and name match the rest of the car.

And the Lip on the front is just that...a lip, not a new front bumper. It's an addon that goes over the bottom half of the bumper, and inside where the fogs are. Stock fogs may not fit with this lip on. But no one has tried it yet. A little modification might go a long ways.

[Dexter]

you like how the yellow type R sticks out? lol

[ottawaP5]

Damn those pics make me want to get one and i havnt even done my first payment on the P5 yet lol. Oh well we cant get everything in life i guess.

Are these cars difficult to get a hold of or have they all been sold? (any color i mean)

[Newf]

I can see what you are saying about the R thing. But, many of my past cars have had stickers on the shifter, and the R is sometimes a Different color. It isn't so unusual,l sometimes it's a different color, sometimes it's circled or bolded to make it stand out so idiots realize it is Reverse.

The R is written in the same font as the other numbers on the MAzdaspeed one, it's by itself as is 1,2,3,4,5, and the only indication of it being a Type R thing is really just in your own heads imho.

isn't this being really anal?

The R doesn't look any worse then the way they got sparco written on the 2003's...all warped an uneven. But does anyone care....no.

[TampaBlackMSP]

Now wait a minute, my Sparco knob doesn't look like anything other than a killer aftermarket Sparco product - no uneven warped anything!

In our heads? Did you actually look at the picture - it's a different font (that just happens to resemble the cheap ricey Discount Auto generic 'R' crap), and it's yellow! We wouldn't have brought it up if it wasn't immediately noticeable...

But yeah, it is a bit trivial to go on about a friggin' knob. Whatever, who gives a crap...

[Newf]

hee hee....easy buddy. Just playin with ya dude!

It's just a shift knob. :)

But how fast one defends their knob!

[Newf]

and it isn't a different font.

Look at the numbers, and look at the R....same font, or damn close.

[TampaBlackMSP]

I know, I'm bein' silly...I'll shut up now....

[Newf]

me too

[Newf]

http://www.mazdamp3.com/members/newf/s1.jpg

I'm bored, so here's a shot up close. I'm not sure if it's the camera or picture or if the yellow on the knob is missing, but you can see the font better.

[Logan]

Looks nice.

But I'm glad mine is orange.

yeah the yelllow is washed out. look at the stitching,,,shouldnt that be yellow too?

[TampaBlackMSP]

Why would the other pic look so different? Where did the pic above come from? If I had a '03.5, I'd certainly want that one, rather than what 'appeared' to be the first one...

Just can't let go of the whole font thing, can you newf?! :D jk

[Newf]

This pic came from the NAIAS CD that someone posted way back. It was a bunch of pics of the yellow 2003.5. Some VERY nice professionally taken pics I should add. Probably the best pics we've seen of the 2003.5 yet. I think it was JasonH that posted them.....I really can't remember, do a search for the album.

.....Tampa! you crack me up !

[TampaBlackMSP]

:cool: thank ya, thank ya very much...

[TURBO3WAGON]

I personally had the chance to get the first yellow 03.5 that was arriving at Mazda of Fort Myers, but found to many changes that I did not like. Shifter, exhaust tip, no fogs, rear wing and seating surface material. I like the 03 better, but as long as your happy with your 03.5, that’s all that matters. Diffirent tastes = diffirent Mazdaspeeds, that’s the way it goes. I would like to attach that lower front lip to my front lip if possible. That is one feature I really like about the 03.5.

Enojy your ride man!

[SaaBaaDoo]

here is my opinion on the shift knob. I dont really care what the shift know looks like! I am too busy covering it with the palm of my hand while driving the car like it should be driven....FAST!!!

[TURBO3WAGON]

Point well taken, Enjoy your ride!:D

[TampaBlackMSP]

I second that...represent Mazdaspeed!! :D

[TURBO3WAGON]

Hey Saabaadoo, I'll trade you my shifter for your lower front lip!


:D (mspb)

[SaaBaaDoo]

SHIT!!!! No way! I actually love my shifter and my front lip, my spoiler, pedals, THE WHOLE CAR!!! ...lol

[TURBO3WAGON]

LOL, glad you have a good sense of humor.


How about I trade my stumble for yours? Yours may be a revamped version that’s more refined the mine



(wedge) (lol)

[SaaBaaDoo]

Don't think we would get anywhere with the stumble...my car has got the same shit!

[TURBO3WAGON]

No shit, that bites!


:mad: :mad: :mad:

[SaaBaaDoo]

I think that every msp owner on here is about to go postal on mazda...lol. I hope they come out with a fix real soon. Do you know of anyone that has proof of mazda actually giving a shit about the problem?

[TURBO3WAGON]

They gave me a case# for the problem, but I'm not sure that means much...

[SaaBaaDoo]

did you post the #

[TURBO3WAGON]

Yep, 301434 but it's tied to the car's VIN#. You need to get you very own case # so you can fell special just like me..:) :D :)

[SaaBaaDoo]

Ahhhhhh! What did you do, call mazda about it or did mazda service call?

[TURBO3WAGON]

Both, I got a diff # form Mazda. It looks like my VIN # = long number. The one I posted is what I got from the dealer.

[SaaBaaDoo]

did they say that a lot of people have called or taken their cars in for this problem, or do you think that there are people that don't belong to this forum just letting the problem slide???

[TURBO3WAGON]

I don’t know how anyone could let something so noticeable slide. I know a few guys here have had this documented at the dealers + sent letters to Mazda. Probably about a hand full so far. It wouldn’t hurt to set up a poll to find out how many have complained to Mazda.

[SaaBaaDoo]

or better yet, maybe a group letter??? What do you think? Someone could type up a good letter, then add all our names and vin's or something?

[Newf]

group letters won't work alone. Send them individually. You'll have more impact. Numbers mean more. Ideally, I would send both a group letter and individuals ones to drive them nuts. Their going to look at where the letters come from, what area, when the cars were made, what dealers, climate etc.

[SaaBaaDoo]

anyone have an address? po and email?

[TURBO3WAGON]

You can post it on the Mazda corporate web site. That’s what I did.

[Newf]

These are not pics of mine, but from another member on another board. www.mpsport.net. he's in BC, Canada.

I'm going to post them in this thread to try to keep them in the titanium pics in the same thread.

is that the stock shift lever or is it an aftermarket short shifter?

[Newf]

stock. Feels great in the hand too. nice and solid.

[Cheese]

sorry if i sound like an ass here but does anyone else think the spoiler/wing looks gay? i haven't seen an MSP in person so maybe the pics just don't give it justice or something...

p.s. i am probably going to be buying an MSP very soon; so don't think i am hating or anything... just trying to get other peoples opinions on this...

[SaaBaaDoo]

I thought it did until I actually saw it on the car! I love it, I think it looks very good on the car. Not as high as it looks in the pics.

[Newf]

gay is a strange word to use, but ya, I'm with Saabaadoo. I felt it was strange until I seen it in person.

[Pmpkinhead]

Is the lip around (above) the "fog light holes" part of the bottom "bolt-on" piece or is it part of the large top piece (bumper). I have seen a few posts that I think were asking this in a diff way and I am still confused. I will be going to Mazda of Bedford (Cleve, OH)soon to see the 2003.5 (if they have em yet).

Newf, maybe we could set up a Meet and Greet in Upper State New York or Detroit when you get you 3.5. I want to get my car on the road for more than 20 minutes! HaHa Maybe create a thread if interested! 1244 (mspo) (drinks)

[Caffeine]

I dont think that the spoiler has feelings cheese but I guess if it did it would be happy.

[SaaBaaDoo]

it's a bolt on

oh come on now... you know what i meant!

[Newf]

the lip starts from the bottom of car, go up around fog light holes. The lip your seeing all the way around the fog holes is the new 2003.5 lip, and not part of the older, larger bumper.

And, I thinking I'll have to turn down that meet in New York. Can you guess why? Hint: Look at my location.

[Pmpkinhead]

How many miles from Cleveland to "Newf" land? Maybe us Nor-Easters can meet 1/2 way! Any thoughts on this? By the way Newf, My dealer has a new Tit MSP wrapped in plastic! The yellow will probably turn more heads though. EYE CANDY:eek:

[Newf]

great idea, but lookie here

http://www.mazdamp3.com/vbb225/memberlist.php?s=&what=map


Look over to where the island is on the right side of Canada. See Two words st.johns. move your mouse over the yellow smiley that's frowning ( Why is my smiley sad?) that's me

I feel bad for my smiley.

[Cheese]

on my map your smiley is the Mr. Green smiley... aka huge grin...

plus your on the last page of the map for me...

[Newf]

Jesus, i checked again and he's crying! wft is wrong with my smiley???

Shit, I forgot to feed em I guess, and I don't visit or call much, poor fella.

LOL

[Pmpkinhead]

OMG looks pretty f'n far away!!! And North. Do you guys ever hit 60 deg f (15.55555 deg c). You will have the fastest MSP with that COLD DENSE air (lol). I can see your turbo smilin':D

[Dexter]

i saw a titanium Mazdaspeed at PUGI in downers grove. SEXY!! dont mind a thing on it anymore (cept the seats, still like mine more)

[Newf]

our average summer day is usually about 25 C. Hot day being 30-35. We don't get a lot of 35 days though.

This is year is strangely cold. Usually much warmer by now.

Maybe that's why my smiley is sad...he's lonely, and cold :(

St. johns, our capitol, which is the place that everyone visits when they come to NF probably has the worse weather on the island, and people get the wrong impression. Very windy, rainy, and cold. I don't live there, and never plan on it.
