Posted this in the MSP section too, but then figured I needed to post it in the most likely place that could give me an answer.

I found a yellow MSP for sale locally. Went to look at it today and holy crap, it's built. Of course car dealer didn't know that it was so I didn't say much, but geez. It looks to have:

MAM turbo kit or maybe Hiboost with FMIC and the bullhorn type (at least it looks like it from the top kinda) exhaust manifold, GT30 (could be a T3/TO4E maybe as it has the same "look" to it as the one that is shown with the Hiboost kit) turbo, Tial wastegate (not attached to exhaust mani, on it's own pipe coming from downpipe), HKS bov, Weapon R cans, 565cc pink injectors, aftermarket exhaust, smaller racing type radiator on driver side. AEM wideband and a boost gauge on two-gauge pillar on driver side, black shift knob.

Exhaust manifold is wrapped with the heat wrap stuff, has a red strut bar, and looks to have the 1.8L coil packs, blue spark plug wires, smaller battery (since there isn't much room for anything else), radio inside the car was not stock, the front lip, rear bumper, and the hood were a darker shade of yellow than the rest of the car. It also had fog lights, the size of the ones you'd find on a P5.

Driving the car I noticed that the shifter is loose (wiggles around a lot), it will "drive itself" when you let up off the gas, the rpms stay the same and it keeps on going. Even at red lights the rpms stay around 2k. Took a little while for the guy to crank it up too, had to turn it over a few times before it finally decided to start up.

Also has STOCK Mazda 6 WHEELS, instead of MSP wheels.

In the glove box there is a cord with a dongle for connecting a laptop although I couldn't see the EMS anywhere (but I didn't go as far as following the cord, either). Carfax says the last owner was in FL. Production number is # 582 and I haven't been able to find anything out about who had this car last, but with this many mods I figured I'd ask here and see if anyone knew who may have had it and hoping to find out a little history on it. Thanks :)

Carfax info: shows it as being purchased new in Fort Lauderdale, FL then was sold and purchased by someone else in July of 2009 by someone in Pompano Beach, FL.

Where is the car now? I wanna go check it out

EDIT: As for the EMS, I'm gonna take a chance and say it does have one I don't think the car would run too great without one considering its mods.

It doesn't run too great, has some issues actually.. I just think it needs tuned a little more. The cord is black with a cream-colored dongle that has a little sticker on it that says PC.. just in case anyone knows what type of EMS that would go to. It drives, but as far as starting it up, it turned over a few times before it cranked and ran. It continues to rev at 2k rpms when you let off the gas, kinda drives itself so to speak, and even at red lights it's still at 2k rpms. If you stop and rev it a little it helps for a second but goes back to 2k. My other MSP did the same thing though, but mine would drive up hills by itself so this one isn't as bad. Shifter is loose, lots of freedom if you wiggle it, just several things that have to be done to get it finished so I was hoping to find out the history. I am trying like heck to find out what I can, kinda wondering why someone didn't part it out first before selling it. Also has a K1 Rods logo sticker on the underside of the hood, so yeah ;)

EDITED: YAY!!! Found the last owner's thread on here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/show...5k-miles.-CLEAN-Built-Motor-STANDALONE.-CHEAP

Haha nope.. I've been looking for a little while now, I was thrilled to see this one today but the price is at $10K so not too sure if I wanna go for it or not.. considering what it needs done to make it finished, but then I think about all that $$ I spent on my MSP and how it went to hell (and sat in the driveway more than I got to drive it because of constantly fixing/modding), and this one is built more than my car was and it does drive.. so I dunno. When I was test-driving it today and going nuts over the mods and the feeling of boost again, my husband looked over at me and said, "geez, you having an orgasm over there?" LOL.

nice. i looked and didn't find it. Couldn't shake that love of the MSP huh?

If the standalone is still in there, it was done by a friend of mine. just call Mack at emerald performance 954-682-7281 he is the only dealer in the states for that unit.

Still thinking on it.. they wouldn't come down on the price much and I had to consider the stuff that needed fixed on it too. May keep looking.
 
That car is not worth $10K or anything near it. Keep on looking and find one that is not priced 2-3 times above used car wholesale pricing.
 
Metallic if you are intersted in another MSP/Pro I may have about the BEST deal you could come by to put you back in a MSP/Pro...a built, boosted, Quiffe LSD, built gears Pro. Don't PM me as I have not been on regularly but email me @ avarela86@gmail.com.
