    Looking into buying a MS3, how much should I expect to spend?

    Just to chime in on price as well. I just picked up an 08 Black Mica sport w/ 36k for $16000 2wks ago. Probably could have got it a little lower but by the time I decided to buy it I just wanted it done.

I'll need a custom downpipe (still curiouse caue my friend says the downpipe connects directly to the manifold on his turbo). I need an 02 clamp with FMU such...

    Thinking about the dark side

    I'm not completely unknowledgable but I'm definitely a noob. One of the things I was thinking of was talking to the guys at the performance shop about their thoughts on it. I have a good basic understanding on what is needed and how it works but no experience on it. Was just kind of thinking...

    Rear sway bar bushing size on Protege MP3

    I just ordered mine from mazda. Around 13 bucks a bushing. no more clunk for the summer hopefully. Man I forgot how bad that clunk is. Best 26 bucks I spent on the car. Unfortunately I know it won't be the last time.

    Should I move to VA

    Yeah it's definitely sounding like a tempting option. Right now I work at National Semiconductor just a regular FAB rat. I'd be going for the same thing down there at infineon. That and the last winter was nuts up here. Way too much snow. I've got a few months to figure it out. Thanks for...

    Should I move to VA

    Pretty random thread I guess. But it looks like in a few months I might have an opportunity to move to Richmond. Living in Maine right now which I've been doing the past 7 years. This would still be dependant on a few things but my dad moved down there about 10months ago to work for infineon...

    Advice on what to do with MX-6

    yeah I think I'd probably be better holding off for a while and try to get it running first. If I were to sell it to my room mate right now I"d probably be getting like 450 for it which is about what it cost to get here from where we bought it.
