    To buy a msp or not to buy a msp.. That is the question...

    I looked at that one but I kinda wanna stay away from it. Front end is misaligned like you pointed out and Im weary of anyone using a boost controller on these. Other then that it seems alright. I will wait until something good comes up I like the oem wheels alot actually so I will probably...

    To buy a msp or not to buy a msp.. That is the question...

    The p5 is so gutless and feels to "commuter car" for me. Thats the plan is to get a rust free one with little to no mods and buy it. I put a WTB on craigslist so we will see how it goes. If you find something on the island let me know I dont mind a trip down there.

    Ya id rather have the rarity of the msp. My gf has a p5 and I don't enjoy driving it much to be honest. Im aware of the lsd issues ive been researching these cars since ol05 and have test driven a bunch but never made a deal

    To buy a msp or not to buy a msp.. That is the question...

    I dont plan on driving it in the winter. I recently have been given a work vehicle so winter commuting can be done with that. As for the s14.. well I have kinda lost interest in that as well. Not sure what i am doing with that either. I just want a fun DD and im not looking for big power. If...

    Yea thats one of the leading causes for me to get a MSP too is the rarity. There definitely not many around and its nice to own a peice of automotive rarity. Who knows in a few years they may go up in cost

    Im in bc so rust isnt as big of a deal but I do know these cars rust easy.. my gf has a p5 and its in awesome shape but has rust in the wheel arches starting and bottom of doors. Mod wise im looking to do all reliabilty mods first. If the motor mounts are like her p5 those will be first. Really...

    To buy a msp or not to buy a msp.. That is the question...

    Yea I have test driven many. I know about the rear clunks, the hesitation under WOT, tranny issues, easily rusting paint etc.. Luckily where I live there is no salt really so the chassis are usually clean. As for yellow.. I hear you gabi, its not a ugly yellow thats for sure its really nice up...

    Bumping this from the dead as I am again getting the MSP itch that I just cant seem to scratch I drove 400km to look at 2 MSPs and BOTH bailed on me... I only had ONE other car that I considered a backup and that was a 05 GLI.. I ended up buying it as it drove nice and made some cool turbo...

    To buy a msp or not to buy a msp.. That is the question...

    Thanks for the replies. I went and saw the srt4 tonight and it was decent. It does however need a clutch and that is not cheap on a srt4 apparently, timing belt and waterpump have also not been done. So that leaves 2 mazdaspeeds that I will be going to see this weekend. If one of them has no...

    To buy a msp or not to buy a msp.. That is the question...

    I have been a lurker on this site for quite some time.. I have almost closed a deal on probably 3 mazdaspeeds in the past 5 years but it has never come to fruition. I have a major soft spot for spicy orange 03's and partially to the titanium 03.5's... MSPs are getting cheaper by the day and I am...

    Looking at buying a MSP and want advice? Post here!

    Alright, round 2 here of trying to get a MSP. Found a really nice Spicy locally.. 1 Owner.. decent km's. I test drove it and was wondering 2 things. 1. There is a hesitation when partial throttling it.. like it goes and stops kinda thing? Boost leak? 2. The car is slow? I drove two MSP's and...
