I am sorry that you have had so much trouble with your car. Perhaps you should try and contact an atorney regarding the lemon laws in TN. The msp came out when alot of other car companies were selling sport compact cars. Mazda saw a way to make money and hence took an economy car and added some...

I have owned multiple Mazdas in my lifetime. Not a single one has blown. If you are going to make blanket statements like this you need to back up what you say with some true personal experiences.

I say if you maintain the car properly and continue shutting it down the way you are it should be good for 120k to 150k. IMO

That's interesting. What do you attribute this to? Thanks! d.

Um sounds complicated. Hey Sam. I am still around, have not bought the Porsche I was telling you about as yet. I am considering the Unichip on the 'speed once again as I may be waiting on the Porsche (just bought a house). Can you tell me anything about the bronze oil bushings? I love how...

Yes you can and yes it will make a difference. I got the Custommsp side intercooler and it made a good difference by itself, however when I put a Vibrant exhaust on the car it really woke it up, different car.

Yeah, have to say I am curious about how the bronzeoil bushings might work. Have you used them at all? By the way how much for the Sportster ya selling? D.

Love the MSP hate the notchy trans. Got an upgraded clutch, synthetic tranny fluid and a short shifter. Still is notchy as hell and makes the car far less fun to drive. Already know about the bronze oil bushings and the kartboy, anything else will make this thing smoother or is it a lost cause...

Get a Toshiba SD 5000 upconverting player at ABT Electronics for $80 with free shipping. Hook up with a cheap HDMI cable as the signal is pure digital, no need for upgraded cable. Enjoy!

Upgraded SMIC and larger exhaust will make a huge difference. Really opened up my car and made it alot more fun for cheap. Personally I do not want to up the boost from stock in my car so I think the only other thing to get would be the DSM-afc. With those the car will be reliable, fairly fast...

Turn it over to your insurance company. Have them investigate the accident. Did your gf apologize for the incident or only tried to shift blame? She needs to take responsibility for her actions and so do her parents if her car is registered in their name. Good luck.

Naw not till I get the Porsche this winter!

I'm 47 ya young punks!!!!(dance)

Go to the hardware store and get some exhaust heat tape. It is silver with tape on one side. Wrap your cold and hot pipes and use zip ties to make sure the tape stays on really tight. Total cost about $9 with plenty left over if you want to wrap the intake. Works just fine. Before I did this...

Umm zoom zoom boom. Not necessarily in that order.
