    Rear bumper extension coming off (again)!!!

    Yeah, mine fell off, too. I left my car at the dealership for 3 days so they could fix that and do the flash. (which, by the way, did not help the hesitation). It started on mine just above the exhaust also. I guess I can look forward to it falling off again, huh.

    do u dislike ur mazdaspeed?

    I had never seen an MSP until the day before I bought mine. I was driving home one day and a little grey car slowly rolled by me in the left lane. I noticed how the rims matched the paint and I've always been a fan of grey or silver cars. The kit got my attention, etc. Then I made sure to...

    How Too - Installing an HKS Turbo Timer

    Thanks for a highly detailed thread!(thumb) I got my turbo timer a couple of weeks ago and kept putting off the install because of the wiring questions I had. But your post has got me ready to start. Although I have the Apexi tt, it should be pretty much the same with only few variables...

    i need a how to: boost gauge install please

    Every other forum I've ever been a member of had it's share of what you are complaining about. I'm just saying that people are noticeably more rude about it here than any of the other sites. And you would think that Lexus owners would be more dicks about anything. lol But I can't find...

    i need a how to: boost gauge install please

    You have a valid point. But every time I'm on the site, all I see is someone bitching because "this shouldn't be in this section," or "this isn't a MSP topic," or "just do a search dumbass." I call that anal. For the most part, no one is ever wanting to help the other person out. No big...

    Compartment Removal

    The compartment under the headunit, that is. I did a search and some people said it just snapped into place, but it doesn't want to come out so easily. I'm thinking I might have to take the whole trim piece off to access some screws or something. Can anyone tell me the safest way to remove...

    Type of oil to use?

    I've only had the oil changed once-@ 3k miles. The dealer did it and they used Castrol 5w30.

    Type of oil to use?

    When I start me MSP, it is noisy. It is definitely dry-starting, which I know isn't good for the motor. I have 4k miles on it now. Anyway, I'm thinking I should go to a synthetic type of oil to reduce or stop the dry-starting. What does everyone recommend?

    All this flashing s*** has me ****** up..

    When the tech rode with me to show him the hesitation prior to flashing me (my car that is), he told me to turn the boost up to 12psi.

    Quality Of your MSP?

    I hate mine because of the hesitation. It's cool looking and has a lot of nice features, but that doesn't make up for it running like an old car that needs a tune up. I had the Flash done and it still does the same crap! I thought the slogan was "zoom zoom zoom", but it's more like...

    Kicked the s*** out of a 97 Integra Type-R

    Amen to that! I wouldn't say ignorant, but more narrow-minded and biased. Note to self: Never mention a different make of car on this site because a MSP is the best thing on the road. Even the other Protege owners on this site hate MSP owners for the same reason....and it's still just a...

    Short shifter???

    That's great news man. The only question left then is: Does the MSP Sparco knob from the 03's have the same threads and size as that of the 03.5 MSP. The 03.5 doesn't have a Sparco knob, it's labeled Mazdaspeed. Do you have a link where I can price or purchase the part when the time comes...

    Short shifter???

    Thanks guys for all the info so far. I noticed the threaded section of the shaft, say on the TWM, is much longer than the rest. Will the stock shift boot still meet the bottom of the knob, or will there be a gap. That shifter just looks like it will be taller inside the car. BTW, I have an...

    Short shifter???

    Ok, so I searched for threads on here for info on a better shifter for the MSP since I know how everyone on here is about that crap. I found that there are several short shifters made for the MSP, but by experience or majority vote, what is the best shifter available. I also want the stock...
