    They tried to steal My MSP - AGAIN!

    The brand name of my killswitch is Enforcer. Sorry, but I don't know the specific model # etc. What's even more important than the killswitch itself, is the guy that installed it, a super true professional who took the time to do the job right. He's what probably saved my car. (I won't get into...

    They tried to steal My MSP - AGAIN!

    I had a titanium 03.5 that was stolen about 1.5 yrs ago. So I went ahead and got another one. Now, last night some a$$hole broke into it and tried to make off with my 2nd MSP. Luckily though, the fancy killswitch I had installed did it's job and worked exactly as advertised! They didn't go...

    I've just replaced my stolen Speed with......

    Really! That's interesting. I noticed you're also from Montreal. And whereabouts in the Montreal area would that be? Just asking so I know if I should start getting paranoid! I'm from Laval and we've had a rash of MSP thefts over here recently. I know of two others, in addition to mine, that...

    I've just replaced my stolen Speed with......

    He said he had the dealer change the wheel alignment settings to make the front wheels point outwards slightly (toe out?) and changed a part on the struts that allows for greater camber or caster (not sure which) adjustment. He did warn me that this might tend to wear the front tires...

    I've just replaced my stolen Speed with......

    About a month and half ago, my beloved Titanium MSP was stolen from the parking lot of a bar I had gone to on a Friday night.(pissed) Worse than the actual shock of the loss was the thought that I might not be able to get another one, as I so loved that car dearly!:'( So I started shopping...

    Test drove the SRT-4...thorougly NOT IMPRESSED

    Yeah, so after my Speed got stolen over the weekend, I figured I need to start shopping for another car. I would still like to get another Speed - if I can find one - but I also take this as an oportunity to check out some other hot cars on the market right now. So I head over to my local Dodge...

    My Speed got stolen last night........

    Thanks for all your support and encouragement guys! It's really appreciated! However, to add insult to injury, I called my insurance company and, among other things, arranged for a temporary rental vehicle. The only thing their rental place had available to give me at the time was a white...

    My Speed got stolen last night........

    Well I always feared this might happen to my beloved speed someday....It's just too much of a nice car not to attract the attention of sh!theads out there. I was always dilligent with parking it in clear, high-traffic, well-lit areas. I always put my double pronged steering wheel club on it...

    MSP > Old Supras

    Yeah, I used to own an old 88 N/A Supra that I bought used. It was my first car. Although it felt fast at the time, I think my MSP would eat it alive in both speed and handling. I agree that for what was basically a 2+2 GT, the car was a freakin heavy boat. It would have performed MUCH better...

    Ever have someone hunt you down to talk/ask you about your speed?

    NAAAAAHHH!!! Man! Porsche Boxsters are boring IMHO. In downtown Montreal, I must see like minimum 4 -5 of them a day, honestly! I think the Speed is actually rarer!

    Ever have someone hunt you down to talk/ask you about your speed?

    So I went over to one of my favorite local eateries last night for the usual Friday night get-together with my friends. I park my car right out in front, and proceed to join my crew who were already inside. So there we were, just chillin when about ten minutes later some dude walks in and...

    Flash in montreal

    I seem to notice a hint of lag sometimes when accelerating hard around 4K RPM or so. It goes away pretty quick once the turbo kicks in though. Hasn't realy bothered me too much. As for mileage.... Yeah, I noticed that when you get on it hard, the car starts sucking down the gas like a mofo...

    Got rear ended today - luckily no damage!

    This morning I got to learn first-hand just how strong the MSP's brakes and rear bumper are! I was on my way to work in heavy stop & go rush hour traffic. During a break in the traffic, I manage to get it up to maybe 50 kmh, (25mph) I take my eyes off the road for about 2 seconds to skip to...

    Absolutely essential MSP accessory omitted by Mazda!!!!!

    Hi all! They other day I was thinking that my MSP could really use a handy piece of equipment which unfortunately Mazda did not deem it necessary to fit our cars with. Sure, others have complained about the lack of cruise control, a boost gauge, sunroof, etc.... But what I find most...
