Yep... That's the trip. Didn't run the speed test till 10,000 miles. Got 17,000 on her now.

Fun stopped by rev limiter about 2 MPH later. http://www.haydu.com/msplimit.jpg My old HondaSi still won the top speed trophy but that was only because no rev limiter. That car would run right to 8200rpm in 5th gear! Nuts. http://www.haydu.com/speedo.jpg

You've got a PM! :)

Thanks Guys! I heard lots of good stuff about the MXs so figured I'd give them a try. 1st choice was the Azenis that I ran on my Honda for 2 years. Great tire but no size for the MSP until the spring when the Generation2 Azenis hit the market. One of my friends is sponsored by Falken and is...

And the rental car is....... A LOVELY WHITE MAZDA 626!! I must have got the upgrade package cause I have leather, fake chrome around the transmission lever, and the vents that automatically swing side-to-side! Would have proabably been a nice car if it were not abused for 6300 miles. Badly...

Guys, I have a brand new set of Kumho MX's in my garage to replace the bald stock 040's. Question is: In my Autox next weekend, what do you think would be the better performer? The bald 040's or the fresh MX's? Thanks! Chris

Warranties are good but since I'm driving 35k per year.... It won't be around long. Then what??? Don;t want to buy a new car every 1.5 years. That speaker rattle (on the front passenger side) is really confusing. Certain songs yes. But then the same song, same volume on the next day.... no...

3rd?????? Oh great.... SEMA is at the LV Convention Center right off the strip. 2 or 3 blocks from the Stratosphere. I think it is in the 1st week of Nov this year.

Great to see some Vegas MSP's! Maybe I'll actually run into you guys at SEMA this year. :) Too bad my car does not fit in my "carry-on luggage."

Yeah... Can't use the key to lock the door from the outside either since that will flash the lights. Have to either use the power lock button on the inside or manually push the lock down. Fun fun fun..

One thing that i did not notice until last night is that the red light on the dash is on ALL OF THE TIME now. Just illuminates much dimmer (why I only noticed it while driving around last night). That now stays on whether the car is on or off. Maybe the makers of the alarm had no idea about...

Wow! Seems to be a widespread problem. Just wonderful. Like I really want a POS rental for the weekend. Dealer said that they'll take it in the AM tomorrow but won't touch it till Monday. YEAH RIGHT!! I'm going to leave my car in their parking lot all weekend??? Don't think so. Going to...

16,200 miles and the steering wheel is still tilted to the left a little. Were we all aligned by the same person?? :) I keep meaning to bring it into the dealer but unfortunately with the Mazdaspeed license requirements, the closest Speed shop is 1.5 hours away even though I have a "regular"...

Hey Guys, The weirdest thing happened to me this morning. I used the remote to unlock the doors of my car this morning. When I opened the door, the consistent chime was sounding (the same one you would hear if you left your lights on after pulling the key out) I sat down and checked the...

I hear ya brotha.... Thanks

Supposedly, they are going to try and blend it to make it match. So the whole fender will get paint, then a little hood and door blend. This should be interesting if nothing else. Shop guarentees and warrenties all of their work so if it is no good I'll make them do it again.

Scratches do not "appear" too bad but there are places where there is no paint. So I guess it needs it. Thanks for the confidence.... How about this one? (Man, I want to kick this woman's a__.) After the company found out how much this was going to cost to fix, they took my assigned parking...

Thanks Matt... I'll try and get some before and after pics posted for next Friday. Ugghhh... 3 days without my MSP. Guess it's good I didn't sell my 99CivicSi yet. BTW, anyone want one? $9500

I actually asked the repair people about the different shades of orange on the car. The appraiser woman (with a voice deeper then Barry White) had some sort of technical term for that. Metalic Inversion??? Or something like that... Supposedly, that is what happens when you try and use a...

I was having quite a good day yesterday when some ditz from upstairs in my building comes into my office and tells me that she hit my car. Wonderful. She was trying to back a company van between my car and another car and somehow ended up running into me. After pulling her limbs off then...
