    Should I flash if planning to sell?

    I'm going into the dealer today for a quick service and was wondering if I should have my '03.5 MSP flashed as I don't think it ever was (not completely sure, but I have some "heavy acceleration" issues and couldn't find the sticker). Or would a buyer be more interested in an un-flashed if they...

    MP3 player (aux) in Kenwood deck (MP919)

    Has anyone resolved this? I was about to order the aux. adapter ( http://www.crutchfield.com/S-P6oTjK54eh5/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?s=0&cc=01&i=113CAC1AX&g=50900 ), and the y-splitter ( http://www.crutchfield.com/S-P6oTjK54eh5/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?s=0&cc=01&i=043183190&o=&a= ) so I can attach my...

    Does your Mazdaspeed do this too

    I just had this happen the first time the other day. 300 miles on the car, obviously completely stock. I was sitting at a light, car in neutral, foot off the clutch, and it did it TWICE (long light, 2 1/2 minutes, I timed it). It felt like it really stalled, but then it kicked back up. WTF?

    California & No Front Plates...

    What exactly is the deal with front licencse plates in California? I don't want to drill holes in the front of my MSP. DMV's website says this: "5200. When two license plates are issued by the department for a vehicle, they shall be attached to the vehicle for which they were issued, one in...

    Best Rally Videos EVER!

    Man, the end of that 2nd one (Rallymasters) is unbeliveable. Probably a good thing they cut it right there, but I'm kinda curious to see how it played out.

    Msp Gone.....

    Kinda like what happened with my GTI a couple months ago. Someone cut me off going way under the speed limit on the highway, I swerved to avoid, and ended up hitting the cement barrier in the middle a ways down the road. Of course they didn't stop, nor anyone else. I managed to get one guy to...

    Older woman in a evo8

    Never seen older people in evos, I've actually only seen maybe 3-4. There's some old guy (I'd say late 60s, early 70s) that lives around here, who drives a "riced out" Miata though. I couldn't stop laughing the first time I saw it, figured it was his grandkid's car. But I've seen him about 4-5...

    I bought it.

    2003.5 MSP, Silver. Last one they had, except yellow. It's great, gonna take some getting used to though. That first gear is a b****. By the way, the reviews which say the stereo is too complicated are right. I never thought I'd say that a car stereo was too difficult to work. Took me 15...

    Any silver MSP onwers? Not titanium!

    The MSP I've been looking to buy has what've got to be the 2003 wheels, not 2003.5. I swear they're silver, not the dark color of the newer ones. I asked the salesperson, and he said how that couldn't be possible, that' they'd have to put a sticker on the car if that was the case, so that's not...

    MSP's for under 17k

    I went back to the dealer yesterday. They gave me some B.S. about how they're a non-haggle dealer, or something. They wont drop the price one cent. While I was there, I was looking at some of the deals they have on the 6. If you take one of the 2003 6i still in stock, they'll give you $5,100...

    MSP's for under 17k

    At Edmunds, I found a second rebate, for $500. However: "Available only to graduate students currently enrolled in a Maters or Doctorate program or students that have recently graduated with a Bachelor's, 4-year Nursing Degree, Doctorate and Masters degree." ^^^ Not me. Oh well. I can still...

    MSP's for under 17k

    Would you know where I could find out about this non-advertised $1,000 cash back? I have a feeling they'll pretend they don't know about it, if I don't show them something. Also, what is TTL? Tax, license & something?

    MSP's for under 17k

    I've been trying to purchase one here in San Diego, CA. Through work I get a rebate (drops it to 19,999) with no "haggling." Then the end of year $2000 rebate takes it to $17,999. However, the dealer will not budge from this price. Am I right in beleiving the dealer isn't really "losing" the...
