i live in northern california and live like 3 hours from the rubicon, also i live like 3 hrs from hollister, and 1.5 hrs from a nice place in sacramento to crawl. I had a jeep too and sold it when i had my daughter and miss it now. My dream set up would be to have a evo or sti, jeep, and a...

you gotta start them off young. - Begin with a turbo fwd - advance to a rwd silvia - then to a rally car - possibly a baja truck - finally the ultimate. JEEP CRAWLER!!!!!!!!!!

thats our friends srt-4. Ill either get another mazda if i can find one cheap enough to build up or ill just buy an sti or evo. I would love to buy an MP5 for cheap and i already found a mazdaspeed 3 motor for cheap i can use. Its just the head aches and money into fabbing that im kinda scared of.

you go it all wrong with the colors. The more "powered by ____" stickers and NOS stickers you put on your car the faster it goes. ALways remember the bigger the wing the faster the car goes.

thats crazy, yeah hers is white and the one i might be getting is the laser blue one. The bra did come on it when we bought it. My brother has a MP5 and just bought a bra for his which i need to install. It involveds some drilling but nothing too major. I was never a fan of bras but it looks...

I let my girl drive this one Ill probably be picking up another MP5 or MSP for myself here pretty soon since we both feel in love with our mazda.

awesome you guys have been a great help. Thank you for your help. I def think ill pick up the motor since its a great deal and just build up the other motor.

i know its the same motor. Some companies like to change the compression when they add turbos and i wasnt sure. The motor is 1026 with a turbo and the turbo set up for my motor is like 3800. This has been probably the rudest forum ive ever been in. If you dont like the post just back out of...

i found the MPS motor for 1026 with tranny. I think ill just go that route since its cheaper than turbo'ing my car. Also is the compression different in the MSP than the MP5's FSDE motor?

So first off my girl has a MP5 and we were thinking of either swapping a MPS motor which i found for $2650 with 75k miles, or would it be better to put a hiboost turbo kit for $3800? my motor only has like 20k miles on it though. Second question. This refers to the original question. I found an...

So i decided trying to do anyother swap into my 02 mp5 wouldnt work. Ive been looking for a MPS motor in california but cant seem to find anything. Anyone know of any good places or sites that may have them. Also has anyone on here done the swap and could give any advice (i tried searching).

i think ill just stick with an sti. Seems like one really big head ache. Thank guys.

thanks everyone for assuming. I have a number of friends who are mechanics, a friend who owns a fabrication shop, and all the tools needed. I've built a number of mini trucks bagged and body dropped but im knot keen on swaps. I was trying to get some helps but instead got a number of ppl who...

Anyone know if its possible to drop a mazda speed 6 drive train into a mp5 including the motor, awd train, and possibly the suspension and axles? Instead of spending 26, 000 on a STI i figured i could try to convert my MP5 into a 300hp turbo'd awd beast.

what do you mean by EVO? the only evo i know of is the evolution from mitsubishi.

im sure it will be expensive. My thing is that i live in cali and i want my car to pass smog. A MPS motor would be nice but id have to pump it way up to get 300hp smog legal, which would be hard to do. The MS3 motor is already like 276 stock, a couple smog friendly mods and ill be at 300hp...

ive been feeling that the mp5 2.0 is a little sluggish. I dont want to spend 4k on a built motor, then another 4k on a turbo set up. I figured if i put a mazdaspeed3 motor in ill still be smog legal in cali and still have close to 300hp. Best of all since its technically stock motor i can count...
