Redwood Road FTW! I've also done it with a BMW e39, RX-7 2nd gen, RX-7 racecar, and my gf's C6 Corvette -- but the MSP totally dominated; nothing has been more pleasant to drive Redwood Road!

These are spare rims for the blaze yellow MSP I sold here. The buyer didn't take them so they've been sitting in the corner of my studio since I took them off 13 years ago. $800 OBO 17 x 7, +55mm offset, 114.3x5 BP. One rim is a Mazda warranty replacement, very low miles, another is a...

Exit Good-bye MSP.....

Sold.

Selling my 2003.5 MSP with 73,000 miles. Very clean. Interior 10/10, Exterior 9.9/10. Completely stock except for: Eibach Lowering Springs (original RB springs will be provided, if desired). Mazdaspeed 6 Front Brake Calipers Production #1517 of the 2003.5 run. $7000 OBO New Turbo: factory...

I have one FS with 73000 miles. Blaze Yellow 2003.5, production #1517, very clean. New Dunlop Star Specs, new battery, new factory turbo. All maintenance done w/ receipts.

This car is entirely stock, except for the MS6 front calipers.

To answer the earlier comments: Tires have been changed twice since this started happening on the original Bridgestone Potenza RE92s. I've had Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1's and currently running Falken RT615's. I've had an alignment after every repair done to address the problem. Not just any ol'...

^ nice car. I don't particularly like the new wave of hatchbacks, but I do like the p5, or, in your case, a "mazdaspeed" p5.

^That does make sense. I wish it had solved my issue. Bearing, hub, and spindle have been replaced in the past. I have a new subframe, as of 1 month ago, installed with all new fasteners. Control arms are good, bushings were replaced about 3 years (15K miles) ago. Front struts removed and...

Anyone in the SF Bay have an MSP? I'm still struggling with the problem and I'd like to have the shop test drive / compare to another MSP.

Thanks for the suggestions. Ball joints are fine. Control arm bushings have been replaced. Not really looking for a technical solution here -- that's for Mazda to figure out. Just looking for another MSP in the Bay.

No -- this is different than any other MSP I have encountered, including those with modified suspension / ride height. I am used to the very active and direct steering in these cars. This is something that has developed over time, recently. I knew a guy in Hayward with the same car but double...

bump Bay Area MSP owners -- please help!

Wanted: Borrow / rent your Mazdaspeed Proteg My MSP seems to have a unique / intractable problem that has something to do with suspension / steering / alignment. To me, it feels like the car has "dynamic" toe that changes while I'm driving. Every minor perturbation in the road, especially...

My MSP has a persistent steering / alignment issue that has been difficult to diagnose. One of the tie-rod ends was loose and the steering rack was replaced, but some of the problem still remains. The car has been to two dealerships and they can't find anything wrong. I need someone to...

Nope Nope. None of the other MSPs showed up. I'm working now in Foster City -- that might be more convenient, if anyone wants to help. I would appreciate it.

Daly City it is..... I guess the Protege will be a bit overrepresented. ;)

I would say it has recently become too responsive/active. Every single imperfection in the road causes a noticeable tug on the steering wheel. When braking, the car feels like it wants to pull to one side or the other. As of this afternoon, the car has been to two dealerships, and they...
