    Couldn't pull the trigger tonight on the MSP

    lol, I go to one of the best dealerships in the country, fully mazdaspeed certified, and found that I already knew more about the car than they did. They don't sell that many MSP's, it doesn't pay to know much, because the people who want to buy one already know. No worries, get your speed...

    Mark - you're lude's in great shape! (and tastefully modded) That generation of prelude was the only one I liked, and alas, they just don't make cars like that anymore. I wish those integras didn't have such high resale value, if I coulda made one work financially I'd have bought one. Ahh...

    Evo owner and MS Protege

    I'm surprised you like the lude more, why do you like it more than the speed? Speed seems to have it in every category, though I know the honda will prolly hold together longer... I have a civic now, and I love the Integra GSR, but it's getting a bit old now, and the MSP has all the things I...

    Wow, the MSP is more comfortable? That must be one stiff car! I've ridden in an STi, but it was only a couple blocks, and I was more worried about whether the driver was going to kill me than whether the ride was forgiving. =]

    MSP weight questions...

    The civic's kinda porky these days, heavier than the MSP! I own a 95 civic hatch, and I love how light (2200lbs) and responsive it is, but the new civic si just blows, no fun at all.

    Minneapolis! So, how DOES your MSP handle in the snow? (I tested in rain, and seemed real good then, but dunno about snow...) I'm planning on picking one up from Morries in the next week or two, how much did you end up paying? I'm hoping to get them to cut a deal on a sunroof & maintenance...

    ---> *EVERYTHING* ECU fix/comments/thoughts

    Uhhh, you'll excuse my ignorance, but when do you guys normally shift??? I drive my honda civic at redline damn near every day, just becasue that's the only place it has any power, but when I finally get my MSP some day, should I be taking it a bit easier? I know mazda doesn't make engines...

    Coilover / Lowering Springs

    sorry, wasn't meant as a flame at all, I'm just really opinionated. =] (doesn't mean I'm not wrong!)

    Coilover / Lowering Springs

    seems silly to me, why in god's name would you want to risk ******* up one of the best suspensions on the market? If you wanna slam something, pick up an Integra, or even a focus! (nice stiff frame, crappy suspension)

    n00b MSP questions

    I guess it's a question of form vs function. The Audi is certainly classier and more refined than the MSP, evo, or STi, but the latter three are a lot more fun!

    n00b MSP questions

    Over an evo or an STi??? I dunno if I'd pick an S4 over a MSP, muchless a world-class rally car! (though I certainly wouldn't decline the test drive) The Z3 and the Miata were both fun, but two seaters aren't particularly practical, and the miata needs more guts. Mazda would do well to give...

    n00b MSP questions

    Oh yeah, tried the GTI, pretty lame, doesn't make use of its power nearly as well as the MSP. A friend has the 337, which I like more than the 20th ann, but even that isn't stiff enough. Did you mean the S4? aka a souped up jetta? If I had that kinda money I'd much prefer an evo or STi!

    n00b MSP questions

    03.75??? Heh, is it identical to the 03.5 mechanically, or did they tweak a few things? Also, I've heard references to the "Clunk", what's this? How pliable has it been for you on our rough midwestern streets? I can't wait to get into something that can really move, the civic's time has...

    n00b MSP questions

    Heh, maybe I should qualift that a bit. I'm a VERY picky buyer. my civic is light and zippy and I really like that, only want a new car because mine's getting old, is too slow/soft, and doesn't have power anything. Nothing I've found new comes close to the quick, light feeling that the civic...

    R.I.P. My Baby.........Good Times

    I once took out a deer's head with the side view mirror on my civic at about 90mph. Sheared the mirror clean off my car, and sent the deer on a full 360 spin. My god I'm glad I didn't hit him full on!

    n00b MSP questions

    Hey guys, I'm new to the board and new to the idea of buying a mazda. (I drive a 95 civic hatch) I have a bundle of questions, I apologize if many are repeats, but I did do a fair bit of browsing first. 1) I'm interested in picking up a MSP for my 25th bday in march, but it sounds like they...
