    Proud New Owner!!!

    While I absolutely love my MSP and have learned more from it then I would have ever known about cars, it has come time part... tons of sweat, wrench time, and stress was poured into the MSP, which is only one of the reasons I love her. The MSP was the most fun car I have ever driven, it...

    Msp and high mileage

    i agree with Rush, I bought mine as the 4th owner I believe, with 59,000 miles, and without properly educating myself on the car. Once I started learning and working on the MSP, it was obvious that previous owners tried to modify it and I spent the last year trying to rectify previous owners...

    Should I be weary to buy rx-8?

    well again guys, I appreciate everything, but all my plans were shattered today, as something came up (it always does) and I will have to halt my pursuit for an RX-8...I did throw a 15k cash offer at a guy who was asking 17.5 OBO and was denied, but i guess it was a blessing in disguise, as...

    What have you done to your MSP today?

    haha, and by the time you get halfway down that list 3 more things will have been added to the bottom! oh the MSP, which by the way I finally got running today after a 2 1/2 week hardpark, minus its seeing a tow truck for the third time in the year I have owned it! Rather then get fully into...

    Should I be weary to buy rx-8?

    as much as I would looove a G35, its just not in my cards yet... i have the opportunity to buy the rx-8 outright in full, then I plan to sell the msp and pay off a credit card bill. I'll keep the loan on the msp since its a fixed rate and a low one at that. I found out today that the rx im...

    Should I be weary to buy rx-8?

    ^^sweet, that's what I figured, just a little worried about the engine being broken in properly, but I'm sure it should be just fine. All I need to wait for is the warranty info. But here's a question, if the warranty is still in place and transferable should I bother paying a mazda guy to...

    Should I be weary to buy rx-8?

So I have decided to go full force into buying an RX-8, and while I still lay eyes on my msp and the work i put in, seeing it on top of a tow truck for the...

    Should I be weary to buy rx-8?

    i appreciate all the input everybody, and I am most def. gonna continue to research all of my contenders with open-mind, be patient, and go with the one that best fits my interests and needs. Its kinda hard being patient after I just found out about an 07 rx-8 that was just traded in at a local...

    Should I be weary to buy rx-8?

    haha, im def. aware the 8 will lose, but the money thing is an obvious issue, but those are the 3 cars i am centering my search around for now. I drove a 09 speed 3 too, which was tons of fun, but not really my style lookswise. Plus, coming from the MSP, I might as well venture into RWD if I...

    Should I be weary to buy rx-8?

    I think he might have been talking about me adding oil to my MSP, but I went to the dealer last night and tested a 40th anniversary rx-8 and was quite pleased. The aesthetics speak for themselves inside and out and it was definitely a fun car to drive. I don’t see the torque issue being too...

    Should I be weary to buy rx-8?

    Ive decided to get rid of the MSP and start the search for a new car and the rx-8 is a serious likelihood. I am fully aware of the pros of the rx-8 but was hoping you guys could help ease my hesitation, for Ive read of a lot of faults and recalls (maybe just the first few years I suppose) as...

    Trading in my MSP

    Well some luck hit and I have come across the opportunity to wash my hands clean of the msp and more importantly the remainder of my loan on it once I trade it in. So the search begins and I'm looking mostly for an 08 or 09 rx8, or a used g35 or 350z with low mileage. Hope I find something!
