    MSP Steering rack

    I bought this from a part out with ~30k on it over 10 years ago. I sold my P5 before installing it and have had it in climate controlled storage since I bought it. I'm trying to get ready to move and would be happy to see this go to somebody else. I'm guessing $300 shipped is a fair price, or...

    Can anybody else post here from the dealer?

    Just getting the car serviced now. They've redecorated, which includes a few computers that list some mazda forums as well. They have GT3 on a playstation too, which is pretty cool I guess.

    Everybody ready for the snow yet?

    I just put on new brakes, and snow tires. Just over 38k on the car, the front brakes didn't have much left, one of the rears was almost down to the metal, the other had a bit left on it. I still need to adjust the rear calipers a little bit for the parking brake. I put new brake fluid in as...

    UTL #4 at Milan is this Saturday

    It starts around 6:30 PM. You get 3 test n tune runs, then it's brackets the rest of the night. They have sport compact and domestic classes. The payouts are pretty decent too. I'm not sure if I'll be going as the DSM Shoutout is in Norwalk this weekend as well. This is a fun event, if...

    Drift event is next weekend

    Yeap, the one that was at Autocity Speedway last year is going to go on 7/11. I think there'll be another one later this year as well. I'll be going to watch. I have to replace some more parts on my car before I can run it, and I'm in no rush to get it running. It's $10 to spectate, and I'm...

    Dealer rip off add ons

    So I took my car in for regular service yesterday and waited for it to get worked on. They had a Mazda 3 in the showroom with some dealer installed crap, which included: A "body kit" for a mere $1200, that consisted of just side skirts, and a "Satin finish fuel door" for just $400. I can't...

    What's the going rate for used P5's in the area?

    I found a truck that I'd like to get instead as it could easlily tow my project car. The P5 is pretty stock, has ~31k on it, manual, cd and sunroof. I'm still playing with numbers right now to see if I can make this work or not. Thanks,

    Dealer Reviews

    I don't know where the last thread went. Anyways, I took my car in to Sterling for the oil change, as I always go there. They offered me a wheel for $75 to replace the steelie that I've been driving on for some time now. They even mounted the tire and had it on in the same time as the oil...

    How dirty does your rear window get after being lowered, or with different tires?

    When ever it rains on the stock wheels / tires, spray gets all over the back window. Out of boredom I tossed on a set of 17 x 7.5's with Yokohama A 520 225/40R17's, and now the back window doesn't get dirty at all while driving. This surprised me. I don't know if it's because the car is...

    Kart 2 Kart winter racing series

    This is the series that a lot of really good drivers run in. S3 is the magazine putting this on. The way it works is everybody gets 3 runs per event. There'll either be a practice, qualify, then race, or 2 qualifiers, then a race. The races are split up into 4 or so classes (depending on...

    Is your sunroof whistling when shut?

    Yep, at highway speeds (when closed of course), it would start whistling. It was only intermittent, but still annoying. The problem was a build up of dust along the seal. It just takes a wet rag and 30 seconds;) This isn't rocket science, but I'm sure somebody will have this happen and...

    Foogin Rocks

    I have already gotten 2 stone chips on my windsheild (3300k on the car). I don't drive on gravel roads either. I'm wondering if anybody has the same luck. The only other stone chip I've gotten is when some mullet had to spin his rears to turn into a restaruant and flung one right at my Talon...

    Any stock dyno graphs out there?

    I'm another newb. Just got mine on Tuesday, and am enjoying it. Its really going to just stay a daily driver for me. I'd like to see what the graphs are like on stock set ups. I have a 5spd, but don't know if the graphs would be that different. Thanks for the info.:p
