Any autocrossers out there? I'm considering a MS3 to replace my MSP, but I'm concerned about tires. Looks like I can get V700's in 225/40/18, but nothing in 215/45/18 or 215/40/18. Any idea if 225/40/18's will fit??? I have 225/45/17 V700's on my MSP now, and they rub the fenders in the back...

Just wanted to post that despite the consideration for a bump down to GS, I'm currently winning DS class Autocross in the Twin Cities. My only mods are the sunroof and Victoracers. I've been getting spanked for years by the Type-Rs in the class on R-compounds, so I finally stepped up to the...

well, I've hit 50,000 miles, and I think my shocks could use some updating. Any recommendations for shocks that would be stock-legal in autocross, and might perform a bit better? Thanks!

So, I did some test driving last night, and here's my review. I'd like to preface with a note that these are my opinions only, and I like a particular kind of car. I've driven a lot of very light wind-up-toy type cars, and I like them. I have a Mazdaspeed Protege that for the most part I love...

So, wondering what you guys might think... I have a problem getting my shifter into gear, maybe once or twice a week. It's not a biiiig deal, just can't get it in for a couple seconds, then I try again, and I'm good. But it's really annoying, and really embarrassing when I'm in the middle of an...

So here in MN we have some stations that carry E85 gas, which is 85% Ethanol. A friend of mine who might as well be a Subaru engineer, was telling me about how well this stuff performs, especially with turbo applications. He had all kinds of charts and documents and such that I won't remember...

ok, I'm looking for an explaination of how the turbo decides when to spool and how the clutch works... I find that when I launch with the clutch about half in it seems to let the other half spool the turbo much faster, and allow me MUCH faster launch after a second or so of doing this. I'm...

Have any of you noticed big differences between gas brands? When I had my honda I ALWAYS used Holiday gas, the engine just felt better. So I've continued with my msp, but with 93. Holiday is the only station around here that offers 93 octane, everyone else is 92, definitely no California...

Hi folks, I use my speed as my Daily Driver, and I want to keep it as reliable as possible. I'm getting sick of sitting in my car for 30 seconds before shutting off, so I want a Turbo Timer. Can anyone recommend a good, basic unit that'll be cheap, easy to install, and reliable? Thanks!

Well, yesterday I got my raise, so I went to Morrie's after work and bought my speed. They're installing the winter wheels/tires and the moonroof, and making sure the ecu/bushings are taken care of, and I should have it tuesday night or so. I can't wait!

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...
