    Would you buy a MAZDASPEED2?

    I'd love to see a MS2, but from a standpoint of performance, to me my MSP is somewhat of a joke. I mean if i want true power I need 8 cylinders. Not to say it wouldn't be fun to drive and handle amazingly. That's what i do like about my MSP, but that's about it. I say go for it mazda...

    without car for almost year...

    i forgot the guys name. but it's been a good car until it starting making a rattling noise...i should have gotten it looked at. I drove it around for about 10 months like that. my own fault i suppose. the car is being repaired just waiting for the head to be rebuilt and machined. I should...

    without car for almost year...

    Well, first off I'd like to say hello to my fellows MSP drivers. It's been quite a while since i've been on the forums. My engine blew back in March 09 and I basically sat on the repairs for a while, but finally paid off an engine and had it installed. I finally was able to pay off the...

    msp vs a gsr...

    <--this guy's 2 cents..... If i would have known what i know now...no offense...but i would NOT own another MSP. I love the way this car handles, how nimble it is on the street....blast to drive...but knowing now that their internals are basically the same as that of a riding lawnmower...and...

    regular protege motor

    yeah, it's wavy....and one side of it is all beat up. Probably due to the fact that i drove the car for about 9-10 months with it knocking....but I was told by several mechanics it was a valve making the noise. it only made noise when i was at a cruising / steady RPM...if I let off the gas...
