    Mazda bought my MSP back

    Mazda bought my MSP back

    you won't want to go back to your MSP if you get a ride in the R32. have you heard the exhaust note on that thing? addictive to say the least. that and having 250 hp to all the wheels is very enticing as well. no wheel spin in corners

    The dealership has been very good to me so i've really got no gripe about them. matter of fact one of the Salesmanagers used to be on some Mazda factory race team racing 3rd gen 7's. He had one of his own that he sold about 2 years ago. He's also talked to me about how the cars are basically kit...

    HIDs, single or dual beam, which brand

    i've got a set of CATZ 4500K dual beams for sale. the high beam feature is even better than the low (obviously) which i thought would be hard to beat. i'm missing having them in the car already. check out my lights. http://www.msprotege.com/vbb230/showthread.php?t=55288

    HID kits and prices

    i think enough people have had bad luck with the McCulloch so i'm betting he can say that and back it up. i had a Catz 4500k Rising White dual beam kit in my car. car's going bye bye so the kit came out and is for sale now. check the For Sale section incase you're interested

    I traded my MSP and got ______ $$

    i really didn't get the impression he was looking to mod the car. you tend to not care about s*** like that when you lose a job
