Ok, guys. I just heard back from my Mazda service rep. The AC issue *is* normal. It takes a while to work its way up, but does blow cold... after a while. :) They couldn't confirm difficulty shifting or the smell from the engine bay. They also said the rubbing sound from the shift knob was...

All right, guys. Thanks for your advice/suggestions. I took the car in this morning, with a typed-up list of the above problems, descriptions and some of your advice. :) They are going to have it all day today, and possibly into tomorrow. We'll see what happens, and I'll be sure to let you all...

Ok, everyone. First the good news: I talked my manager into giving me a promotion, so I'm getting more hours and a pay raise. That means I can keep my MSP! :D Yay for me! Now, the bad news: I've got a service appointment scheduled for tomorrow morning, and there's more than a few things I need...

JRoof: Well, it basically comes down to the economy. I was making more than enough money to pay my bills and have some left over. Recently however, the company I work at has been crunching hours in attempts to decrease the budget. Due to that, my hours have been to approx. half of what they...

Ok, this is looking to be more and more like a reality, unfortunately. If anyone is interested, please let me know. I'm only asking what I need to pay off the bank... I currently owe $19,700 (approx.) So if anyone is seriously intersested in purchasing a VERY nice car from someone in need to...

Well, crap. I'm trying my best not to, as I love this car, but due to my current financial situation I may have to sell my car. :'( I'm trying to figure out what to do, and seeing what I can do to get more money, but it's not looking to well so far. Is anyone out there interested in picking...

Here's a thought, although it may or may not work: The manuals for an MR2 are really expensive as well, if you go through a dealer or otherwise "normal" channel. However a few people, myself included, thought ahead: what if you skip the middle man? We found out who the printing/supplying...

I used to play a few years back; I owned a custom MiniMag. I'm also looking to sell my gun, if anyone's interested. I also have a Tippman Pro-Lite as well. I'm actually thinking about getting into Airsoft in the near future... ;) - John

Got another San Diego here. - John

I used to have one on my first 1993 MR2. When my clutch blew, I figured I'd do it at the same time, since my friend got me a deal on it... Wow, did that make a difference! I recommend them to everyone now. :) My car did idle a bit lower than before, but it never stalled or had problems, FYI...

Steph, You need some help, let me know. I've been known to be destructive and mean, plus creative. ;) That ass deserves what he gets. I mean, really... :wtf: - John

Hey, when you get a chance, do a background with that other pic of yours, too. :) I liked that one a bit more. heh - John

The Finishing Touch, according to multiple dealers I've spoken to, is not Teflon. (Oddly enough, one of the dealers was Irvine, as you know. :)) It's a mixture of carnuba and a few other sealants to protect the exterior from acid rain, bird poop and other stuff. They also seal the inside with...

Great pics, man! Have any larger-res versions of either? The first one would make a GREAT Wallpaper or ad for the Protege club/board. - John

Looks great, man! When did you get the boost gauge in, yesterday? When driving, how much of the tach is obscured? I gotta come down and check it out, or you gotta come up here. :) - John

.. edit .. D'oh.. Noticed Krillin's thread after I made this post. Pls. disregard me. :) - John

heh... I typically come out serious in pics; the most you'll usually get out of my is a lop-sided smirk. ;) - John

Here's my attempt at dead-thread resucitation. :) Well, I've finally been able to take some pics of my car, and me along with it. Here goes: - John

I wasn't planning on it, but it sounds like a great idea for the next SoCal meet! And it's not too far north for people, like myself in San Diego, and others in LA or OC to drive to. The 22nd is a Saturday, so I already have the day off. If we can get at least 4 more people, I'll go. Anyone...
