I like the wing better than the '03. But, I would defiantly have to have fogs.

Thank Ford for the 170 hp limit. Since Ford released the Focus SVT, and it only puts out 170 hp NA, they are damn sure not going to let a car manufactuer that they own sell a car that is only $1500 more, with at least 50 more hp! Supposedly, Callaway had the MSP over 200 hp when the first set it...

BTW, did I mention Jeff Haas in Houston just got their second Speed in? An orange one. They floored the black one they had, because they didn't want it being abused by techs, salesman, or customers. So it just sits all pretty like in the front lobby.

I had thought of PC'ing the stock wheels also. But, only for a couple of minutes. The stock wheels are worth more, as they sit, than if you were to get them coated. I'm just going to keep the stock ones as they are, and get some black, or anthracite wheels. I am defiantly thinking that black...

No, any intake designed for a regular Protege, or an MP3 will not bolt right up to the MSP. Regardless if you move the resevoir or not, the intake piping is not the same. On a MP3, the CAI runs from the hole by the fender, across, and to the TB. On an MSP it would be about half the distance...

Anyways, getting back to the topic... maztech, that i know of, there aren't any other Speeds running around Houston. Jeff Haas had the first one for sale in Htown(Black), but i think it's still sitting at the dealership. I'm going to get mine through Jeff Haas. But, that won't be until March or...

dealer mark up. i was told they wouldn't mark the car that high(@Jeff Haas). dom, did you talk to a salesman? who was it? if you go back, talk to Mark Watts. thats who i have been dealing with, and thats who i will end up buying my MSP from. they are having a hard time moving cars. and the bad...

Hehe, if I told ya, I'de have to kill ya. Mark has told me what he thinks it may be. But, I wouldn't feel right posting that here. He wasn't sure what the exact mark up was going to be. He said they still have to discuss it. But, as an example, he said they only marked up the MP3's about...

Mark@Jeff Haas emailed me today, as soon as the car rolled off the transporter. The first MSP of their allotment is finally here! Yes, you can test drive this one! Possibly you can own it! You need to get a hold of Mark for any exact details on the car. All I know is, that it's here, and will...

The MPS that Jeff Haas has now, is just a "show" car. One that is being loaned out so people can at least see the car in person. They have actually been invoiced for a black MSP, slated for delivery in the 3rd week of December, which someone will be able to buy, as soon as they want. In the...

go here... clicky also, once again it has been spoken that because of Callaway, Speed's are being held up at the ports. The cars are here, it's just that they are not being "fixed" fast enough.

slug, 821 miles on the car. I talked to Mark some more today. He's not sure how long the MSP will be at their dealership, it belongs to another dealer somewhere else in TX. So, if anyone wants to check out an MSP in the flesh, GO NOW!!! hahahaha Anyways, the car looks sooooo much better in...

I think all the MSP's driving around are manufactuer promo's. My local Mazda dealer told me again tonight, that they don't know when they will start receiving cars to sell. They did just get a "show off" MSP today though. One of the look, but you can't drive type things.

Yep, Jeff Haas Mazda has "loaner" from Mazda. I just got the e-mail today, and I went by to look at it tonight. Spicy Orange = yummy!!! I can't wait to see it in daylight though. The bad part is though, you can't test drive it. Because it is on loan from Mazda, the dealer is not allowed to put...
