    What have you done to your MSP today?

    So THAT's what a stock airbox looks like! ;) Get rid of that exhaust manifold heat shield -- or paint it! That thing really does make or break the appearance of the engine bay. Hopefully you can keep the bay in that condition. But since your MSP came from Texas, where they don't have snow --...

    Max Boost???

    I have always been a firm believer that the majority of MSPs are incapable of holding boost over 10psi on stock internals, without an excellent tune and supporting mods. Shoving the boost up to 15psi is openly inviting trouble. However, there are those few 'factory freaks' out there that seem...

    My MSP in Modified Mag?

    You should send them an email with a photo of your current setup, and be like -- ohaaay, this is a shot of my car NOW, so put that in next month's, cause you owe me for taking so long, kthx! :D

    My MSP in Modified Mag?

    Sweeeeeeeet! How's that happen, though? Do they just surf the web and snag pictures that they think are nice, or do you have to submit a photo to the magazine and it can be used whenever, or what?

    can a oem hood fit in the trunk of my msp??

    ^^ Before you go, familiarize yourself with what you're going to have to do. Find the bolts for the upper sections of the rear seats and make sure you can pull everything out without any problems. Hell, go through the whole process of taking off your hood and putting it through your trunk/rear...

    can a oem hood fit in the trunk of my msp??

    A stock hood will fit into your trunk .. .. IF you remove the 'fold down' portion of the rear seats, so that the hood winds up mostly in the trunk, and partially across the rear seats. The guy that just bought my CF hood installed it while at my house, and fit his stock hood in his MSP's trunk...

    MSP Production Numbers

    I was told the wrong number by Mazda the first time, too. The woman I spoke with didn't seem to have a clue what I was even asking for -- she probably just made up a number to get me off the phone. I'd go by the list.

    IAH no longer owns a Mazda :-(

    Congrats! I tend to like the older body style better, but still, definitely a fun car. :D Toyota is anything but a crappy brand. They're one of the best, especially considering today's circumstances with the economy and concerns over gas mileage. .. And, of course, let's not forget the Supra. ;)

    "C" clip for actuator fell off.

    ^^ Too true. Like the time I had the 'outer casing' of a sideview mirror shattered. Couldn't buy just the casing. Would've had to buy a whole new sideview mirror. Just another way to rip you off. Go check out hardware stores and start test fitting some c-clips!

    :p For some reason, my brain processed your post as asking how many posts you'd need if each nomination used 1 photo. So my brain went -- okay, 10 photos total, 2 posts of 5 photos each, done!

    Best Looking MSPs (For Real) *Brainstorming Session*

    I honestly dunno what the max amount of photos is per post .. but seeing as HighwayUFO's post isn't right, I can delete that one and then you'll have the first two posts. And five photos per post should fit! :D

    Best Looking MSPs (For Real) *Brainstorming Session*

    Another thought. This one's about the actual Competition thread (which maybe we should rename the Nomination thread?) .. I think it'd be alright to allow for comments and discussions of the nominated MSPs in that thread -- but that means that us MSPs Mods and special--k will have to work...
