    MSM or sc/TC NB...?

    Cool. Yeah, we didn't get down to negotiating, but they are a GMC dealer and they want it out of there. Like I said, it has been there like 2 months. I may go back tomorrow and see what we can do. I haven't been on the site in a while. You used to own a Protege right? MP3 or MSP or something...

    MSM or sc/TC NB...?

    This is very true. My problem would be keeping myself from going over the entire flyin miata catalog though, and that is hard on the warranty... I think my biggest problem is I have never driven a supercharged NB, and I would love to know how the continous power feels...

    MSM or sc/TC NB...?

    I'm so confused. So the wife finally said "Why don't you go buy your car?" I am trying to decide between a F/I NB (like a 10AE or an 01 or newer 6 speed with a SC or TC) or a MSM. I drove two MSM's today and I like them a lot, but I am not sure if I would be better off buying something that is...

    How To: Racing Beat rear Sway bar on P5/ES

    -endlinks.... I don't know. I would assume they are the same, but I am not sure... -bushings... AWR doesn't make a 20mm (Or they didn't when I did mine). They make a 19mm and a 21.5mm. I bought the 19mm and opened them up slightly with a dremel. If you put them on without boring the opening...

    Another spring question?

    I had the Eibachs on for 35k miles on stock shocks. For regular driving, they felt pretty much the same a stock. But when pushed, they got a lot stiffer...

    Used P5 asking prices seem skyhigh

    I worked at a dealer until last week and we paid in the region of 12,000 to 12,500 for p5's with average miles and in good condition. Then they were sold for around 14,000. Considering that a dealer has to recondition, pay commission, and everything else assosiated with running a business...

    Used P5 asking prices seem skyhigh

    The values of P5's did go back up though. They took a huge hit when the 3 came out, but they have gone back up as the dealers cleared them out. Same thing happened with the MSP. About this time last year, mine was worth about 10,700 according to Edmunds and KBB. Now the price is back in the...
