    Definitely not! Suspension is why I bought this car. All I read about was how wonderful it handled on forums and car reviews. Gotta love Mazda's. I flex that RacingBeat every time I go on a drive. As far as a FMIC goes, I've often thought about enjoying a better inter-cooler (reducing heat soak...

    Runnin a little rich....

    Thanks guys, very knowledgeable help. And I feel ya on the Alldata info-finding Preferio, that's what us tech's in training use at my college. That and Mitchell. I've found Mitchell is better for transmission related things. I'll look into the SSAFC and see how that goes. Thanks again for the...

    Runnin a little rich....

    Hey guys, Ive been having a little bit of an issue with my MSP lately, or so I think. I dont think my gas mileage is as good as it should be, and Ive read on here before that our cars are known for running rich. Though I havent hooked my car up to an EGA in my class yet, I do notice a...

    i figured these would be good for the bushings http://www.corksport.com/corksport-bronze-oil-shifter-bushings.html and would this suffice for the engine mount issue? http://www.corksport.com/corksport-motor-mount-insert-set-for-protege.html

    so tranny mounts and shifter bushings? sounds like that would make the whole drive-ability factor a lot more enjoyable! exactly the kind of things i wanted to hear about. and no go on the turbo timer? that doesn't mean that i still shouldn't let it sit after a hard run though, right? i tend to...

    lol i've thought about that, but i don't think it'd work in the long run. i could spend more, it depends on what the upgrade is and what the benefit is. i already think i want to get a turbo-timer. sitting in my car and letting it cool down for at least a half a minute every time i arrive...

    i bought my msp all stock, but unfortunately the amplifier in it is missing... i know it's the KAC-529S (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-2LiDOND2DnQ/p_113KAC529S/Kenwood-KAC-529S.html) but it looks as though it's rather discontinued from everywhere i look. i was wondering where i might be able to...

    up to $100. i read something on here before about someone raising the shifter up a little by disassembling the case, and then use a rubber mallet to bump the base of the shifter up. i guess the 03 msp has a higher one, but for the 03.5 (to make it a "short" shifter) mazda just took the same...

    what's up mazdas247! i've been reading the forums on here for a while now and just decided to join up today. i've been pondering lately things i could be doing with my msp (all stock) that is relatively inexpensive, and would make me enjoy my car a little more. i'm still in college (1st year of...
