Umm, every single MS3 and MS6 we had while I worked at Mazda with a blown motor, had a Cobb accessport. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
So no, I am glad my motor is still intact and VERY glad there is not a tuner for the MSP that pops the motor. Most likely it is the owners putting on too aggressive of a tune on a stock car but it is what it is.

Only got this pic but this is like half of them:
One black one had CF wheels and trim, the other one had a Boost Logic IM, dual Tial BOVs and 'upgraded turbos' according to the owner. The white ones were stock and brand new, out of frame was a black ZR1 vette
MS3 owners going too aggressive in the pursuit of higher HP numbers? Surely you jest...
yes, they are the same minus the diff

Dude, I'm on my 3rd transmission, about to install my 4th.
The transmissions are the same, save LSD.
First Transmission- 178k, LSD came apart.
Second Transmission- Cracked the case at the rear mount
Third Transmission- Grenaded 3rd gear.
Fourth Transmission- Installing this week.
I do all my own work. The only things I don't do are tires and paint & body.

Finally replaced old valve cover gasket and replaced spark plugs. I have had the same ones since it came out of the factory in 2003. Car has about 36.5k miles on it.
Driving at the higher RPMs while in 5th, seems to have a lot less vibration now! Overall happy with maintenance upgrades for my msp. My msp is bone stock, and I plan to keep it that way

recirc bov
just got back from getting the wifes protege es home lol. waterpump died spewing coolant everywhere. the timing belt was just changed on this car recently. can i change JUST th ewater pump or do i have to take all the timing belt business out too?
nm. had a look at the how to thread and im well underway. got everything off that needs to just about to pull the belt and water pump.
not a bad job actually.
edit:
got the timing belt and water pump out but now im faced with scraping off all the old gasket that is cooked to the block. when i put it back together should i use the gasket that came with the waterpump or just use rtv? or a compbination of both? I have the RED high temp rtv ive been using for pretty much everything that needs to be sealed lately.
car is getting new water pump at 260km and i ever have to do it again, id like to avoid the scraping and cleaning.
