I'm at 225whp right now. Stock MSMs are around 145-150 whp.

EDIT: To give you an idea, here's a dyno chart from Flyin Miata comparing stock to the package that I have.

okay, wheel hp...

Was looking up some specs for the 04 MSM. A little heavier car than the 2008 NC Touring and smaller in all dimensions. Not huge differences but surprising.

yes, they difently have more room inside now....it's like driving in a go kart...i'm not sure how anyone much bigger than me fits in there comfortably?

It snowed for nearly an hour today... Got the ground wet. I tried to get pictures with my phone but it won't focus on just the snow but I got a picture of the snow stuck to the window!! Winter is coming waaaaaaay too soon.

Ya gotta become travel size... Hahaha.

an 8 hour drive in that car isn't the most comfortable thing in the world, but you'll have a huge smile the whole time.

Got a call from Mazda, have to keep the loaner overnight because they are overnighting an EGR valve for my check engine light.. Just glad I don't have to drop it off again to get it replaced.

Never really had a problem with the car, just thought I would bring it in for a light clunk over bumps. But glad its all getting done before I have to pay for it.

so I should probably pass?

 

[THE Phen]

^ I think I'd probably pay to see you attempt to drive one.

Yes, I found out that I can fit in a NA and NC, not a NB.

 

[THE Phen]

Yeah... NB's are kinda weird like that.

Harley killed off Buell.. I was hoping that since Buell announced the death of the Blast (was a bike HD wanted built for entry level) and that they were truly happy about the death of it, they said they were going to return to its roots, that they would really bounce back and offer an amazing bike.

Not sure if you're refering to my post or not but I'm going to add that I'm still in Austria so I wasn't talking about snow in New England yet... Headed back to that side of the big blue tomorrow morning. When I asked for a 3am wake up call at the front desk I got "Are you sure?" and I responded yes, I'm sure "Are you sure?????" Hahahaha. YES DAMNIT! Taxi at 4am, flight at 5:45. It's going to be a realllllly long day.

HAHAHA I saw the Buell site... You roll over the Blast and it shows it crushed up in a cube and offers it as a side table and some other things. Hilarious.

I can't believe they completely killed it off though! It must have been bringing Harley farther down the tubes than they're already going themselves?

My friends Buell was kick ass. He won first place at the WPI meet couple years back. He's the one with full beard and cap. He sold it for a Moto bike.

i have you all beat...I've had my winters on since before last halloween!

I have a couple better tires for the rear at least...gonna get an alignment again and the fronts should last me a couple more seasons...yay blizzaks!

need to get 4 17" tires for the summer wheels though, which some of you haven't even seen.

 

[Astral]

I just ordered the snows for the P5... broke down and got 15" alloys...

 

[IBCoupe]

I'm trying to decide whether or not to pick up snow tires. There's still life left in the all-seasons that are on there now, and after driving to and from Hartford this evening (55 miles to at 4PMish and 55 miles back at 9PMish), I think I'll be okay for this weekend. Will probably get new tires before the first weekend of November, when I drive down to LI, then up to northern MA, then back to LI, then back to Groton.
