Hey folks. Cleaning out the basement along with planning to sell the car. Car thread here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123831406-GI-Black-Mica-493-137k-miles Sorry about the kinda crappy pics, I know the sign is washed out in a lot of them. If needed, I can try again...

SOLD TO DEALERSHIP, FEEL FREE TO DELETE THREAD ADMINS Anyone at all interested in purchasing my MSP from 21061? KBB is about $3,500, which I would say is fair. Sorry about the kinda crappy pics, sign washed out on the phone camera. Planning on looking around dealer lots for an MS3 soon...

So I head into the city tonight, and a few blocks from my destination, I feel the rear driver brake caliper is dragging. I tried to work the E-brake a few times to see if that would help release, but it offered little if any effect. Have fun for the night, and when I'm pulling out of the...

My car threw a CEL reporting VTCS stuck closed. I've got a port and polished intake mani waiting to go on the car with VTCS deleted. Would the easy fix for this be to just install my new mani? Is the car safe to drive still I get around to it? Thanks.

The ole' MSP doesn't seem to be making boost like she used to. I replaced a blown stock wastegate with the ATP, but it doesn't seem to be building boost like it used to. Less power at RPM than I remember, and when I mash on the gas, it doesn't take off. I put the heatshield on the opposite...

Hey guys, I was surfing around a few months ago and came across a thread that I foolishly did not bookmark. It had a link to a shop manual with timing belt change instructions. I bought the kit and was going to attempt to change the belt this weekend, but could really use those instructions...

Hey, I was running up a merge ramp onto the highway at about 4500 rpm in fourth and all of a sudden, the blow off valve popped, I lost all power, and pulled over to the side of the road. By that time, the engine had died. CEL, oil, and battery lights are all on. I took a look, and there's no...

Hey, I really want to get a Desert Eagle shift knob from TWM, but I don't want to spend $125 doing it. I know they run sales all the time and post on the forum, does anyone know if there's one running?

Hey guys, I'm in town tonight and tomrrow night, anybody want to get together and get a beer?

I've got an issue over the last couple days with the belts squealing when I start the car up, and for a few minutes thereafter. Seems to go away after the car warms up some. Should I tighten them or, since I've got about 87k miles on the car, just change the belts to be safe? How hard is that...

Hey guys, I've been thinking about my modding plans lately, and I realize that mostly its just for improving daily driving, and I don't run it up to 5500rpm for daily driving. So I'm wondering, what have you guys thrown in that get good gains in the 2000-4000 rpm range on an MSP?

Hey, I just got an HKS BOV and the purple fin just doesn't sound right. Too high pitched squee to my tastes. I know there were other fins available, anyone have some extras?

Ok, I just got the MSP a couple months ago, and a couple weeks ago started modding, got hardpipes with an HKS to kill compressor surge. Its a daily driver, and intends to stay that way, though maybe I'll go have some fun with autocross. I'm trying to keep the budget reasonable and the mod...

So I thought I could live with it, but its bugging the s*** out of me. My passenger side mirror doesn't auto snap into the proper position, it folds too close to the body. Obscures the blind spot mirrors I put in, and doesn't go as far out to the side as I'd like. I popped the covers off, but...

So who's got the Blue MSP in the Columbia/Jessup area? I've passed you twice this week already on rt1 at about 5:05-5:10 on my way home.

Hey guys, got one for you. When I drive the car like a grandma, trying to save a little gas, I don't smell anything. However, when I run her like she's meant for it, after parking I notice a smell like a coolant leak. Didn't have a light last night, so I couldn't get a good look, but it...

Hey gents, not sure how often this area gets checked and whatnot. I'm new to the MSP and just looking to meet/greet a few other owners in the area. I know I've spotted at least two other MSPs (and plenty of other pretty mazda's) in the Columbia area. Anyway, I'd be intrested in hanging around...
