    Thinking about trading in for Type R

    I currently own both cars. Type R is overall a much more performance oriented car, it doesnt suffer from torque steer as badly. The suspension feels more solid. The engine is smooth as butter and its ultra consistent and predictable. The tranmission is bar none the best I have ever shifted...

    AEM dyno

    i still cant believe people on this board believe dyno results from the manufacturers, its the same thing as companies saying their dick pills make your dong bigger. Independent testing is the only way to see if products have any worth.

The car is not lugging at 2400-2600 rpm. This "boom" is a one time sound as soon as i let out the clutch in fourth gear. It...

    4th gear boom

    I am experiencing a strange issue with my MSP with 400 miles on it. When I shift in to 4th gear from 3rd gear below ~3000rpm, I always hear a very low pitched boom sound from the rear of the car, like a bass note. It does not happen from 1st -> 2nd, and its less pronounced from 4th -> 5th...

    H&R's

    They do not have springs that are specific to the MSP, thus when they say 25-30% stiffer than stock, they are talking about stock Protege spring rates. The part numbers for the mazdaspeed and base protege application are the same. We should know the stock protege rates before make any...
