On purchase in October 2012: 2005 MSM 37,100 miles, no rust - FM boost gauge - FM intake - FM full exhaust - FM sway bars - Hard Dog roll bar - 2 stage seat heaters (and boy do they work!) - hard wiring in place for the Passport radar detector I already have - added cruise control done cleanly...

Yesterday a 2004 MSM (Grey, 88,000 miles, 1 owner carfax, 2 minor accidents) showed up for sale for $11k at a local dealer. Considering I could trade in my troubled 99 Miata for it and keep roughly the same payment (which is really low anyway) while removing the problems on hand, lower mileage...

I have our 2006 Mazda5 Touring for sale for $9,400 OBO, 77,000 miles, Phantom Blue, Automatic I am the original owner, self maintained like my RX-8 and Miata. Recently replaced the brake pads, rear shocks, key fobs + transmitters. Only negative is a few creases in the front bumper lip from tire...

So, yeah, I'm still around. I know I keep trying to leave New England, but no success yet. In the interim however, my plans to sell the Miata got blocked by a spun bearing. Something happened with the oil pickup or delivery from my only guess at this point. Let off at ~7,000 rpm from a 2nd gear...

1999, Emerald Green, 105,000 miles, original Sport package. Owned by a true driver, goes to Tail of the Dragon several times per year. He took excellent care of it, mechanicals are all smooth and responsive, owner even handed over all maintenance records :) The paint has some scratches and a...

I think I found the Miata I want to purchase, but it's in Miami, and I'm in Rhode Island. Just want to see if someone, a knowledgeable unbiased 3rd party, is willing to check it out for me as a base gut check. It's located literally across the street south of Miami International. If someone...

So I'm leaving in about 34 hours for Sevenstock 13, after which I will be taking the opportunity to drive up the Pacific Coast Highway to Portland, then down southeast through the Rockies to Colorado Springs, and then returning back home to Providence RI. So those of you in any of the cities or...

So helping a friend find a cheap car to replace her POS 2000 Ford Contour that breaks down almost every week... I wasn't looking for anything specific, but then I found this: 1999 Mazda 626 V6 $1,950, 197,000 miles, says it's clean, 1 owner, clean carfax. No pictures yet, but I think I am...

Per request from Bob, posting this up here. It was a great track for 8s, very much a high speed track compared to what I am used to. Alot of spins throughout the day, especially on the high powered cars. The Mazdas, Miata's and RX-8s especially, just looks so composed through the course...

So this is just a heads up. Over the next month or two I am looking for a good Miata. My wife wants to get rid of her van, so we are going to trade it in for a Mazda2 once they hit show room floors, but she wants something before that, something small, light, Mazda, and not van/hatchback...

I know I am largely absent from these boards, and I hate to come back asking a favor, but I really need one. Just pinpointed my cat as my power loss problem and I have a 10hr trip to SW of Akron OH on Saturday, back on Wednesday, and shouldn't do it with a failing cat. Dealers are closed until...

Was trying to share it with NEPOC, not the world, but someone moved my thread to the Photos/Video thread. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123747218 I guess it is more appropriate, but irritating. I know you guys, I don't know them.

So last weekend I got back from a business trip to Harrisonburg Virginia, and had some pics/video to share. They were taken on Skyline Drive that runs along the top of the Blueridge mountains that make of the eastern edge of the Shenandoah valley. I got to the rt 33 entrance there sometime...

So apparently the only available cure for this condition I caught on Wednesday is medicinal 'track therapy', and the therapy often requires a helmet. I realize I could just get one from ebay or something, but I want to do this right, and make sure that I get a quality helmet that fits well and...

17x7, 5x114.3 (for my RX8) Posted this over at RX8Club.com, but figured this is a bit more locally focused, and not many people with 8s have 17s laying around. Several of the other Mazda models use 17s, so I am hoping. :) I am in need of a replacement rim for my winter wheels, I bought a set...

I replaced the accessory belts 2 weeks ago when the alternator/water pump belt threw, jumping the AC/Compressor belt almost the whole way off, damaging it enough that it had to be replaced too. Had a b@&% of a time getting the Alternator/Pump belt off, as apparently when the belt threw and got...

I am highly suspicious of criminal vandalism as the cause of this but: One of my two belts completely shredded, almost completely knocking the other one off, and I am obviously going to have to get it fixed, and can't/won't be able to spend the money to have a shop do it. How easy is this to...

I recently bought my wife a P5, and due to other issues, have been driving it alot. In general, I love the car, especially the way it handles at low to mid speeds, the balance of the car, and the higher speed stability. One issue I have been finding though seems to be the steering response, or...

Again, did some searching around the forums for an answer, but no one mentioned anything about the issue I am having. I bought a 2002 P5 last week, not sure if it is a 2002 or 2005.5 though (not sure how to find out either). It does NOT have the clear marker lights above and behind the...

I did multiple searches, through Yahoo! and this site, looking for DIY or a kit with both DRL and Auto-On. I can find either, but not both. Would this be a 2-kit setup? Or does anyone know of a kit that includes both? One hitch in it, is that I don't want to have the DRLs set up for my...
