    NC Acceleration issue

    Hey all. I have an 08 PRHT. Here lately it's been stuttering under acceleration, like it's only firing on 3 cylinders. It will smoke white a little, mostly when trying to crank it after the issue starts. It usually happens after a short bit of driving. It doesn't have any power when it happens...

    EX-MSP'er now a Miata Guy

    Hello all! As some of you may know, I once owned #1660 Spicy Orange MSP. That's not today. Today is the day my life changes. I've been told many times that a person needs to own at least one MX-5 in their lifetime. Any generation. I've been told they're a blast to drive. The best sports car...

    2004 MSM with 5k on the clock

    Hey all! Been quite a LONG time since I've mosied on over to this neck of the woods (by that I mean the M247.com forums). It's been almost 8 months since I've even owned a Mazda (sold the Mazda5 and I'm sure my signature is out of date by now). However, I'm trying for a new job which will offer...

    GTA V Thread

    I was surprised there wasn't a specific thread for GTA V yet. Anyhow, I'll start it off right with a glitch I found after completing The Big One (last heist). I was driving to Lester's and found this glitch. So far as I can tell, no one's found this one yet (at least it's not been published...

    Heir to All My Worldly Automotive Possessions

    So I've been in the hospital from Friday at 7 pm until about noon today. I'd like to introduce you to my brand new, first ever child. I've been praying for him by name for 3 years now. He'll be handed down my Dodge Colt Vista when I become to old and feeble to care for her (if he even wants...

    I need custom springs

    Like the title says, my 87 Colt Vista doesn't have much aftermarket (if any that I can really find) support. I need a manufacturer that makes custom springs (preferably on the cheap) and if they are located in Georgia, that'd be a huge plus. I haven't tried Google yet but I do have a company...

    Lexus IS 250 F-Sport

    Anyone else think this things grille is just a little too much... like a vacuum cleaner? This was taken in N. Georgia. I just don't like the look of the thing. http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy28/DaleSkrobot/155743_4848686701134_1870747600_n_zps115e88e5.jpg I'd say it's worse than...

    Old School G.A.C.C. Style Meet

    I know most of us are older, have families (or in my case, coming soon), or just plain don't have time. However, the Colt Vista is slowly coming back to life and soon I'm gonna wanna take her for a spin. I contemplated taking her to The Varsity (which I may still do) but I thought it'd be nice...

    Mazda5 Sport: Aftermarket Fogs

    So I'm wanting to do some little changes to the 5. I had to opt for the Sport trim as it was the only one I could find with a 5MT for the 09 year (to my knowledge the Touring and GT didn't come in a manual option... could be wrong of course). So it has no fun goodies like sunroof (could care...

    Who Wants a Sick Job Near Fremont?

    So my sis-in-law works for a recruiting agency. Currently, there is a need for someone to drive the new Tesla Model S to shows and such. Obviously a very clean driving record is probably gonna be required. Your basic travel job where they pay your hotel, food, and such. Obviously, I'm not the...

    06-10 OEM Side Skirts

    So I've noticed that sometimes when I see a first gen US Mazda5, I see some that look a little lower and I realize it's sideskirts/side sills. Forgive my ignorance in this regard as I'm no MZ5 expert but did certain models come with this like GT only models and does anyone here have a clue as to...

    Ex-MSP'er Looking For More Room

    Hey guys. So I've been on these forums for a little while now. I've been away for a little over 6 months as I've had my X-Runner. I've been back a time or two just to pop in and see how things are. I'm actually in the market right now for finding a new ride. I'm here because I want to get a...

    The Wife's New Fuel Sipper!

    So last night, I got rid of my last Mazda. So, no more Flying M's in the driveway. It's a barely used, 2011 Chevy Cruze Eco 6 speed MT. The sales guy was actually the one who ordered it for his A to B car (as his other cars are an older Jag, a Corvette, and a Range Rover). He added some options...

    2005 Mazda6 Passenger seat won't recline.

    So my wife's Mazda6 (2005 s trim V6 AT) passenger seat just stopped reclining. It won't go forward either. It's stuck in this upright position (uncomfortable for a normal adult to sit). Normally this isn't a problem as we never usually take her car. However, it needs to be fixed. I am not sure...

    GTA:V Trailer... Thoughts?

    Epic... is about all I can say. If you haven't watched it sorry to spoil this for you but it's in (don't read further if you don't want to know)... San Andreas/Vinewood again! Seriously, that trailer did so much for hyping me up about the game but at the same time, I have so many questions. CJ...

    Spotted: Yellow MP3 on Cherry Ave., San Jose.

    I am right down the street for the next few days. I am in a rental though (2011 Chevy Cruze LTZ). Just coming down the street and saw it. I'm staying right off of Foxworthy.

    Lexus 9 Spoke Rims I got for FREE!

    So I acquired a set of 4 Lexus rims. They are 9 spoke and when I put it up against the stockers, they appeared to be 17's as they were just a hair smaller in size. I'm having a hard time establishing the specs on them like what vehicle they came from but to my knowledge, Toyota and Lexus use the...

So for now, I'm trying to sell my BDS Tactical Bailout Bag. I got it overseas while at Kandahar. I didn't actually use it overseas because...

    From MSP to What's Next For Me

    So I've determined that a lot of folks go from an MSP to something with tons more HP or just all around better. Sold your MSP lately? Wrecked it and moved on? Let us know what you decided was more reliable and that's why you left. I'll go first. Here's where I went. More utility, safer...

    Home for R&R Dec. 22nd-Jan8th

    Hey all. Just like the title says, I'll be home in a few days for R&R (rest and relaxation). The first day home, I'll be letting Big Orange go for my new ride. Still, I'd like to see some of my Mazda folk since I've got 2 weeks of not working at all. Naturally I've got family to visit and the...
