    Has anyone contacted Callaway?

    Hey, just wondering if anyone has contacted Callaway about the possibility of enhancements for our cars? This seems logical although I am 99% sure they would tell us nothing.

    Greg, I'm cool. My friend and I were out yesterday in his new yellow Evo VIII. he is suffering through the break in period (600) miles. The car is nice but it still has the same mitsubishi flaws. The radio is horrible and the quality is not there. The best or shall I say worst thin is he...

    2nd gear issues

    Hello all, Ok so I have 1100 miles on her and I was wondering if everyone agrees that the 1st to 2nd gear shift is a little rough. I hope this works out over time.

    turbo questio at 5,000rpms and higher

    Hey all, So the 1,000 mile break in period is over and I decided to take her through the range. I have owned 3 turbo cars and have never heard anything like this. The normal intake/turbo spool sound to about 5,000 rpm's. After that the sound is very audible and it is very high pitch. It...

    Getting Turbo XS bypass valve on Thursday!!!

    I don't know about ours leaking boost but I woud have to say that the Mitsubishi BOV installed on our cars is very nice and very good quality. I was running 16 to 19 psi on my 2nd gen eclipse with this same 1st gen BOV (ours) installed and it never leaked even at the top end. The 2nd gen...

    Mazdaspeed vs Lexus IS 300

    Been there, done that. I have owned both. Lexus is giving the IS300 away. You can deal hardcore. I read 2.9% Lexus needs to get into the game with a new, upgraded engine that can compete. Just look at the new ES330. Now the IS300 is the least powerful in the lineup. Of course I would never...

    Steering Wheel Replacement

    I thought the Viper ACR came with 5 point harnesses. I know we are not comparing apples to apples and I thought the ACR was supposed to be driven on the track but also on the street

    Steering Wheel Replacement

    Hey, Just wondering if this would work on our cars. I don't see why not. How much is it really worth? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2404953768&category=33704

    Mazdaspeed vs Lexus IS 300

    A couple of comments. The IS300 is not available with the Mark Levinson sound system and I have found out to my dismay the IS300 has bad resale value. The word "bad" is always objectionable as I believe a BMW or Mercedes would always sell at a premium over the IS300. You really need to pick...

    Mazdaspeed vs Lexus IS 300

    Well, I have owned both and the MSP is way more fun. Go back and test drive the car with the Traction control off and you may be surprised. The lexus has it's perks. The service is the best in the automotive industry but the costs are amazing and vary. They cover everything under warranty...

    Electrical Issue?

    Hi all, I would like to know if this is normal or not with our cars. When I have the lights, stereo, and air (No AC) on it sounds like the alternator is cycling and every once in a while my instrument panel dims slightly and then goes back to normal. It sounds like the fan comes on a drains...

    Snow, Hills, and Burning.

    Thanks all, Nah, If I was moving I think I would have been ok but I was parked and I tried to go. On the subject of tires, what is the offset of our rims? Thanks, John

    Crack in the front window.

    Hey, I had the same problem. Took it to the dealer and the fixed under warranty. It was a stress crack from the to above the steering wheel. It started at the top edge. How many miles on your car? I had 60 miles on the car when it started.

    Snow, Hills, and Burning.

    Ok so I am a dumba$$. I parked on a hill last night, 60 degree incline. Snowed 3 inches. I needed to get out so I started the car and the wheels spun, tach went to 5,000 and I stopped. No luck. I smelled something burning. It smelled like tires burning. I have never experienced this in a...

    Oh Yeah, I would rate the MSP protege at the show as one of the top three attractions outside of the Hummer and Porsche's.

    Maryland Auto Show

    Just went, VERY disapointing. No EVO VIII, No 2003.5 MSP. They did have a spicy orange 2003. Made me want to cry seeing all the young kids get in and "dry shift" that car. If you are waiting for a Spicy Orange in Baltimore you may want to ask if it was at the show. I would be a little...
