    P5 vs. MSP

    MSP vs PR5 I'd go for the MSP over the PR5, actually I already did back in January when I bought my MSP! My wife and I checked out both cars, and although the PR5 was a great car, I liked the MSP better. The PR5 handles fine... but it doesn't handle like an MSP. Mazda played with the MSP...

    Anybody raced their MSP yet?

    Greetings yall... anybody taken their MSP out to a serious track event yet? What kind of problems are you encountering? Any warnings or advice? I'm thinking about heading up to Summit Point in a couple of weeks... just not wanting to burn out my turbo or blow my engine because of some oil...

    Beer + Vicodin

    Vicodin is a narcotic/opiate. As such, it is a respiratory depressant. That is not a big deal if you take it as prescribed, it usually isn't a big deal. If you mix it with alcohol, which is also a Central Nervous System depressant, you combine the two effects. This is a bad thing. What can...

    Anyone see the Mixed Marital Arts matches on Satalite?

    I've trained in a variety of styles, but haven't stuck with one for too long (I keep having to move)... Muay Thai, Shotokhan, the obligatory TKD, and now Ishin-Ryu...

    What instruments can you play?

    Merely complimenting, that's all! Hey now! "Hitting on" is such a strong term... I'm merely being complimentary, that's all! (blah) Regardless: I've got a hot senorita who drives my MSP already! Redirecting to post subject: And she sings, plays guitar and banjo! How was that for a subtle...

    Best tires

    I had Bridgestones when I first got the car (I think they were the same kind). They were fine on the street, but I wore them out auto-x'ing. I tried the Dunlops after a friend suggested them, and I thought they gripped a lot better.

    Best tires

    I've got an extra set of wheels with Kumhos on 'em now... nobody's even mentioned the Dunlops as their street tire. Is that like ancient history? Are the Toyo's better or just cheaper?

    What instruments can you play?

    Laracroft, you look way better than Shakira! And are much cooler, obviously (you drive an MSP and are from NC!)! I've got an electric and an acoustic guitar, and pretend the sounds coming out of them are music...

    OK...Who else thinks religion is total Bullsh!t?

    Wow, what a LONG freakin' post! I think (as all await with baited breath) that a good point is being made. Separating out "religion" from "religious people". The point has been made over and over again (and will be made over and over again) that religious people do bad things. True. No one...

    Does your Woman or Man hate you car?

    My wife is bipolar about it -- she loves it when she's cruising around town or when she's merging on the highway-- but when she goes to work (at an assisted living facility) she hates the Spicy Orange because all the old farts (living there and working there) have to make a comment about it...

    MSP owners have a bad name

    Hall Mazda in Virginia Beach is fantastic... GREAT service department too... don't know how far that is from you. I bought bought my MSP from them (1st one in Hampton Roads!) in January and they never gave me a single reason to complain...

    radio replacement About replacing your radio: The stock one in the MSP has lots of "bling" factor (or so I'm told, I heard that used once) -- but I've had problems with it eating CD's and not giving them back AND not playing them... so that there is a CD just stuck in it permantantly. Based...

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

    I got mine flashed yesterday AND got my radio replaced (for the second time). Mazda of Knoxville did it in one day AND got my wife a loaner car. I haven't driven it yet but am tingling with anticipation (or something like that)... I hate that a lot of you guys have had probs with your dealers...

    2006 Mazda Miata / MX5 ??

    Geez, I hope that's not the new miata... the whole point of the miata was to be the ultimate incarnation of what the old "british sports cars" were. Which that articles's description certainly does not match. You don't buy a miata because it's "roomy", you buy it because it's reliable and a...

    Who here races their Miata.

    I auto-cross my '91 miata in E stock although it's been about a year (I did one event in my MSP last year) -- I'm trying to do a couple of events this year in TN/NC... I was also wanting to put together a spec miata. My brother is a bit of a honda expert, though, and we might put together a...
