big blue....why do you say that the mp3 is not as good handling wise as a porsche boxter it has better slalom speed, while the lateral grip may not be as good the mp3 can beat just about any car in the slalom

me too, oh big ben, I met Jesse today, we talked about all the awesome stuff he's done to his car, he won't be able to make it to the auto cross on the second though, I will though, can't wait, we need to start getting a meeting place worked out, and times and stuff

already typed about this a little in jags thread about his new, and very cool game (mp3 tag)...rock on Jesse...Anyway, back to the point, I was thinking about autocross, as I often do, and decided it would be extremely awesome to have a trail of mp3s cruise into the next autocross event in the...

yes they do have helmets available, and the time I went the were free loaner helmets, not the prettiest things, but they were free, and they were the kind specified by the scca goo roos. You should definetly take the mp3, there were tons of tricked out miatas, but I was the only one in a mp3! I...

here's what I know about HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlights.....they are really really bright, they don't have filaments, they have xenon in them, uh their really really bright, that's about it, my question is what is the difference between what people refer to as xenons and True HIDs...

I've heard rumors of a rotary miata, that would be a beast of a car, but everyone keeps saying how insanely expensive it would be, but I haven't heard how much the actual engine itself cost.

anyone have any clue how much the new renesis rotary engine will cost by itself, ordering it from japan that is, have this crazy idea about putting a rotary engine in my mp3, my idea of the perfect car. If anyone has a clue please respond, or just respond to tell me you think I'm a nut, whatever.

is it totally ludicrous to think about putting a new renesis rotary in a mp3? too expensive? if it's mechanically possible I think that would be the most bad ass car. Just wondering.

since we're talking proteges how does the stock protege handle? compared to other stock compact cars ie. accord, civic, focus, cavalier, matrix. anyone have a clue? I've read from owners of stock proteges, and p5s that their cars handle like they are on rails, just wondering if anyone has a...

this one's for those of you who have modified your mp3s, what in your opinion is the best mod for the least money, does cai really do that much, I want something not too expensive (<1000) that will give me the most significant hp gain. So any advice from anyone who has experience modding their...

hey my name is Jason Heartsfield I go to LD Bell highschool I'm seventeen, some of ya'll were asking about autocross. I don't know where you live but scca, sports car club of america, has autocrosses about every month, if you go to their website, forgot what it is, something like scca.com will...

yeah, I know it's not the most efficient way to turn, I was just trying to point out how much fun it is, when I autocrossed I didn't touch the e brake, that would have been kinda foolish, but just when I'm messing around in the wet it's hella fun.

me too, only when it's cold my suspension squeaks too, but only when it's cold outside, otherwise no complaints about squeaks or rattling

me too yeah my valve stem caps got stolen too, sucks, but what can you do, not like I have any clue who took them, cause If I did, oh man would I WHOOP some ass.

what's the fastest you've gotten you mp3/p5 up to, got mine to 120mph one night with my friend kyle in the car, and I drive a totally stock mp3, just curious what some of ya'll with the heavily modded mp3/p5 have achieved
