    Stock Subwoofer

    How does the stock sub sound with some good old rock and roll? I've heard some systems that make anything not rap sound like ass. While I like my beats, I usually roll with rock and roll. I think a lot depends on the enclosure (trunk). My buddy had a system in his Envoy and even at the...

    Who can work on an MSP (MS dealers only?)

    ZOOMZOOM-Yea, I understand what you are saying but if it is something like fixing a coolant leak or replacing the bushings, I would feel fine with a non-MSP dealer doing it....

    Who can work on an MSP (MS dealers only?)

    Yea, I'm in the area, but right now I'm in Gainesville. I had heard (from a Mazda dealer in Melbourne) that reg. dealers can't. Sounds stupid to me, that is why I wanted to check with you guys. Longwood would be too far to drive for regular work (or to get towed). If my local people could...

    Who can work on an MSP (MS dealers only?)

    Can a regular, non-MS dealer service a MSP? I heard from a non-MS dealer that they can't work on them. Is this true? Thanks for the help...

    Cent. FLA guys...How much did you pay?

    That is exactly what I did last year when I got my ES from them. I talked to Felicia via email for a few months. I got this quote and that quote, and Cory Fairbanks beat everyone... As a matter of fact, I live in Gainesville and that is where my car was. BUT, Gainesville Mazda wouldn't match...

    Cent. FLA guys...How much did you pay?

    They only had a few on the lot? Crap. Their website says they have like 10 or so on the lot. I guess they don't update that though... I'm working on price right now so I'll keep you posted!!

    Cent. FLA guys...How much did you pay?

    Dude, WTF??? Hell, I put in one request for a quote online and got a price of $16,947.... I plan on getting it cheaper, too...I go through Felicia Moye and she is good. I went through her last time and everything was smooth and it was the price I wanted. Basically, if you tell them one place...

    Is the new clutch really worth it for $500?

    PAULMP3- Opps....When I decide to get up on it, I'll shift before redline. I'd say at most I'll "get up on it" about 50-60 % of the time I drive, if that. I was just looking more for the internals of the car which could possibly make the 03.5 a better, stronger, more reliable car. I probably...

    Is the new clutch really worth it for $500?

    So I tried looking up the difference between an 03 and an 03.5 MSP. All I could find was an upgraded clutch from the 03. The dealer I'll go to has a $500 difference in price from the 03 to the 03.5. Should I pay for the upgraded clutch? I'm not going to mod the car and I don't usually drive...

    Cent. FLA guys...How much did you pay?

    I'm looking to buy a MSP this week. I was wondering what you guys have paid for yours... I'm going to use Cory Fairbanks most likely. They have quoted me just under $17K with rebates... Thanks!

    Gainesville anyone?

    PATES03-If you happen to see this, wanna take me for a short ride in you MSP? I got nailed in my Protege ES on 20th a few weeks ago and need a new ride...I should be getting one this week (I hope)...Either another ES or an MSP. I'll have to NOT get the orange since you already have it...I'll...

    Stock Boost Question

    I believe I read somewhere on here that some stock cars are NOT making the claimed 6.5 lbs of boost...I take it you can find out the boost level with a boost gauge but what can you do if you find you are not running the factory boost? I know you can change the boost yourself, but I want to...

    Now My Videos Are Working

    buying a mazdaspeed

    I'm in the same boat, looking to pick up a MSP this week. Cory Fairbanks in Longwood, FLA is where I'd get it. From their inventory, they have close to 7 or so MSP's on the lot, so I figure they will want to negotiate. I've already been offered a price of $16947 ($500 under invoice and then...

    Reliability of Stock MSP

    I was just thinking about this. How much more UNRELIABLE can it be than a standard Protege? The only difference that I have read is that it has a turbo set-up (engine wise...I thought I read that non-MSP's had clunk too...I know for a fact that the clutch was worthless when it was cold). The...

    Reliability of Stock MSP

    First off, yes I did a search on reliability of the Mazda Speed... I know there have been problems with clunk and FLASHED vs. NON-FLASHED cars and a few coolant leaks, but what about general reliability of a STOCK car... I could see problems coming up with moding the car but other than the...

    possible warranty issues

    It sounds like a good investment would be to buy one of those electonic diagnostic tools... If you see a a/f light come on, you take your intake off before you go to the dealer because you know they're going to take one look at the intake and tell you to piss off... So is it even safe to...

    Newbie MSP Performance Questions

    LITTLE BEAVIS-Actually in terms of bikes, some slip-on exhausts will get you about the same as a full system, amazingly....The biggest reason to get a full exhaust (other than sound and it breaths a tad better than a slip-on) is for weight reduction if you race or go to the track...For the...
