    Mazdaspeed name and insurance

    I am 33, no points, no accidents, bone stock. I doubted the prohibited vechicle list too, but I was only going by what this potential agent was telling me. Thanks for the input everybody and I will check out the links some of you offered.

    Mazdaspeed name and insurance

    I have recently been looking around for different insurance companies. I have no points (Michigan no-fault) or accidents. However my agent, who does the shopping for me, informed me that quite a few agencies wouldn't bother insuring my car due to the Mazdaspeed name, they wouldn't even...

    Need some Help Removing Upholstery - Water damage

    Me too, I have the exact same problem. This seems to be a problem with the 2003 body style cars. I already narrowed it down to the same corner area, either the water evac clogged or water getting passed the intake cowl. It has been 6 months now since this post has been opened up. For those...

    MSP maintenance

    Read the owners manual more closely, it clearly provides the criteria for the different maintenance schedules based on climate,roads, and driving style. So a highway driven car in Texas should follow a different maintenance schedule than a car driving on the salt road winters of Minnesnowta...

    Sheet Metal intake manifold MAGNUS

    I don't know the story or do I care, every shop has people who talk s*** about them, that's a fact, even the best shops, you should hear the s*** people say about Buschur and Paisley. Magnus has a solid reputation, a bad exhaust story is a retarded reason not to go to them. Magnus is one of...

    Sheet Metal intake manifold MAGNUS

    Cry me a river, damn there are some whiny people here about Magnus, jealousy perhaps. Why concentrate on the small market MSP market when there are bigger fish in the sea? Marco's are accomplishments are deep, few are as comprehensively knowledgeble as he is at all aspects of a cars...

    Evolution Intercooler

    An exaggeration, Evo owners upgrade these once they reach 360-380whp, tube and fin= high pressure drop. Respectable for a stock unit. Still it wouldn't be a bad option for an MSP if somebody has some decent fabrication skills.

    DIY Copper Intercooler Pipes

    The entire idea of using copper based on heat dissipation all sounds good, but the truth is the air moving inside the intercooler pipes is too fast for it to have any significant effect. Also think about what an intercooler is for and factor in its surface area to volume ratio, basically the...

    performance gains from larger mid pipe?

    Bhasman: You've got to be kidding me, you start with the back first, look at any at the performance "stages" that Supras and DSM's have traditionally used and you will see the same trend. YOu start with the back first. Think of the extreme opposite then, a set of performance cams would be...

    performance gains from larger mid pipe?

    When you start to modify your exhaust start with the back then work towards the turbo, therefore getting a downpipe before a catback is absolutely pointless.

    Pipe and coupler clamps

    Try a little RTV on the inside. The MAF isn't necessary since there is no pressure.

    My 2003.5 titanium silver

    As far as insurance I recently payed $550/6 months for a 1993 eclipse full coverage. My MSP is $670/6 months, which is the same for me to drive any econobox of my choice. I also checked out SRT-4 rates, outrageous, $975 and WRX's are roughly the same. So not bad considerin it's a relatively...

    My 2003.5 titanium silver

    I am new here and I I just bought it last week. I really am not new to racing since I have been into DSM's for the last 6 years which I have become very familiar with. Even though my best time is a 12.4, it really is misleading since I have helped considerably with my brother's AWD Talon which...
