Pm'd. What else do you have for sale?

hmmm....have been experiencing the same problem. Got fuel cut at 4k when the weather started to cool down. Then threw a Left bank lean code. Blew into the wastegate line and some air is getting through. boooooo...that looks not fun to replace.

Looking to get into it...bmwcca is teaching a course at devins in Ayer that I might go to in June. So if anyone is into autocross, I would definitely like to meet up at the next event and learn a bit about it.

Whats up guys. Been on mazdas247 for a little while now but never checked out the local chapter. Someone told me to check out this section while I was workin at my bar. I drive a black MSP. Fun little car. Not really fast, but fun to whip around Worcester in. Anybody go to local shows...

i noticed that it is rather jerky and i can visibly watch the stick sink when i hit the gas and rise when i let off so i imagine the motor mounts are going. I'll give that a shot and hopefully it will fix it. thanks!

My MSP has the most rediculous wheel hop. I live in a city and sometimes I need to accelarate moderately hard. The roads are rather crappy here which may contribute to it, but i find my wheel hop to be absurd, and i'm pretty sure thats why my differential went a few weeks after buying my car...

Well I've been driving my msp for 3 weeks now and the clutch blew out going around a turn in 2nd. Didn't slip, showed no signs of going, just made an awful noise and I lost all gears. Towed to dealership and they said i need a new clutch and flywheel. Dealership I bought it from is telling me...

yea...thats the turbo. 170 gerbil power.

took my egr off today...was a little tougher than i thought it would be...those bolts are kind of a b**** to get at when you can't see them! also, wtf were they thinking with the aluminum phillips screws??? they stripped instantly even with the best matched driver and lots of pressure. vice...

just turn it sideways (2thumbs)

i also noticed when if i sit down hard it makes a loud squeak from the back. i assume this is the struts...is this something that should have been replaced when i bought the car?

Kind of coming over from the domestic world. I drove a trans am when I was a teen...i used to be into cars a lot. College came and I was hit with the practicality stick and went from a taurus to an infiniti g20. Just about out of school now and decided to take on payments. Spent a day...
