Yes, I think it is worth the $100. It did a very good job of getting rid of the hesitation for my MSP.

Sorry to be so late in responding! I didn't know you had replied. I had the JIC's for about 7+ years. I think the very bad, pot-holed streets of san francisco must have shorted the lives of my two front coilovers. The model I had was the FLT - A2. billinsf

Thanks very much for letting me know, Bill

I wish I had known you were selling a turbo earlier. I bought one and we just put the new CHRA in, replacing the old one. Many thanks for your help, though and best of luck in getting a good price for your turbo, Bill billinsf

Hey Guys, I need to replace my MSP's turbo. I contacted ATP Turbo and they assured and reassured me that their GT2554R turbo would be identical to my MSP's stock turbo. My mechanic buddy tells me it is NOT the same turbo and so he can't put do the replacement. I want to avoid paying the...

Hi Guys, My MSP's turbo needs to replaced. I contacted ATP Turbo and they assured and reassured me that their GT2554R would be the same turbo as the stock turbo that broke. Unfortunately, my mechanic buddy tells it is NOT the same and won't fit. I don't want to go to the dealership and fork...

Hi Guys, I am considering buying some Tein SS Coilovers for my MSP because my JIC Magic coilovers are leaking. One of the things that I've liked about the JICs has been the ability to adjust the stiffness/softness of the suspension by twisting knobs at the bottom of each coilover. Does anyone...

Hey guys, Thanks for your responses. The mechanics replaced the air temperature sensor and the car passed its smog test. But later in the day, the CEL came on the scanner code was P2006 which indicated "Intake manifold--runner control stuck closed bank 1". The mechanic turned CEL off and...

Hi guys, I had an Injen CAI installed a few years ago on my '03 MSP and I noticed that when I go across the foggy Golden Gate Bridge, sometimes the "Check Engine" light goes on and stays on for a few weeks and then goes off. Today, my MSP failed a smog test and upon further inspection, the...

Hi Guys, I drive a 2003 MSP whose Check Engine Light has come on 3 times in the last couple of months and then goes out after about 7 or 8 days. Today I took my car to a local garage and they found that the error codes indicated two problems: 1) intake air was cold; 2)intake maniford seemed to...

Thanks for your help,Drake! bill

Hey Guys, I just had a 30K service at a local Mazda dealer in Burlingame,Ca. They didn't change the plugs and told me that only at 60K do they change platinum plugs. This seems to differ from the small manual that I got when I bought the MSP four years ago; the manual recommends change of...

I got mine flashed yesterday at Putnam Mazda in Burlingame,Ca. Very big improvement in torque and power and smoothness. Putnam Mazda is well known in Northern Calif for good service. I love driving it so much I haven't even thought of resetting the audio system. billinsf

Hey boostisgood, Thanks so much for your great work! You've made a lot of MSP owners VERY happy. bill

My experience is very similar to many of yours: obvious hesitation between about 3000 and 4000 rpm. It's pretty frustrating. Sometimes I'm exiting a turn, hitting the gas and getting virtually no response. The car's handling is indeed exceptional--even better than I expected after reading...

Unfortunately, Dad passed away; so I need to get mechanical help. If you know of a good shop, please let me know. thanks again, Bill

Hi fellow Mazda owners, I am a new MSP owner who is also new to Sport Compact cars and modifications. I want to get some mods done, starting with a CAI and a BOV and probably more mods down the road. Unfortunately, I didn't inherit my dad's mechanical aptitude, so. . . Does anyone know of...
