Hahaha, balls. What did you go with? I had my eyes set on a pair of work wheels before I came to the realization that it was more lucrative to buy better DJ gear than gawk at my beautiful wheels every day or cause other people to get mangled in horrific traffic incidents staring because...

Bump for you and a +1 to that. I've been looking for someone to donate (psh) or sell their stock rx-8 wheels. You never see rx-8's with the stockers on so come on! Lets see some support people! Not trying to steal any potential offers so don't get the wrong idea. But it would probably be...

So the title really covers it. I know most of you ditch the stock wheels, but truth be told, they look brilliant on a mazdaspeed protege. Besides, a bump from 17" to 18", and the wider tires, yeah. All things I want. I don't expect to get them for free or anything, but I know that some of...

Whats up with the crosses on the back? Boosting for Jesus? What would Jesus do? Smite the dumb bastard who blew all that money on a sh*tbox focus when they could have ramped it off a cliff and put that money to much better use - like strip clubs. Those young and talented women need tuition...

I guess I'll have to look. SCCA sanctioned, I hope. I used to live not too far from ripken stadium, and they had several auto x events, then for some reason just up and stopped

I just replaced my engine a few months ago. The previous owner drove the piss out of it, and left me with all the problems. She's running like a champ now, and it was thanks to a friend of a friend who helped me out a lot. I picked up a regular 03' protege engine at Mt. Airy Salvage for 700...

Just moved to Dover from Baltimore a few weeks ago, so +1 I'm a little late, but Delaware has autocross events? Details, sir.

+1 Black MSP. I just moved to Dover (well, Magnolia) from Baltimore MD a few weeks ago, and I don't know anyone here. It's pretty beat, but the beach factor makes it tolerable. Apparently race week is coming up, not looking forward to that

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll pass it his way and see what he thinks. Also, can anyone link me to any engine build topics? I've found a few, but combing through them I'm finding nothing really related. Maybe I'm worried about nothing, but I always expect the worst when it comes to repairs...

bump

Problems have been pretty much solved, however I want to keep this up during the build in case I run into any more problems during the swap. Fingers crossed!

Damn, all these bad stories. I never thought I'd say this, but I guess Im lucky my apartment complex is well lit and full of kids and cops. I bought my MSP with a long not-so-bad-but-aggrivating key mark on the trunk. Its not that deep, but you can definitley feel it. My point being, what...

Oh, and nice wheels. :)

I'm interested in the msp heat sheild, and especially the motor mounts. I haven't fished through this thread but they don't have sold next to them, so I'm assuming fair game. I've got a few questions about the parts, get back to me as soon as you can!

First off, congratulations on ROTM! The MS6 wheels are hotness. I'll be getting RX-8 wheels on my msp sometime this year :D
