Well. That certainly shut me up...

You do not live up here. You do not understand the language sensitivities up here. Watching a half-hour Pierre Trudeau documentary on A&E does not make make you an expert on French-English relations in Canada. Yes, we are north of the USA. Yes, the colder ambient temperatures up here may...

Funny, but very ignorant. I don't know why the mods allow this...

Oh. I thought you meant a new one. I had heard rumblings that they were going to make a Rally Focus, but I guess I didn't look hard enough at your post to see the Escort part. My bad...

Hehe, we're all friends here, A'PEXistud. Anonymous debate is difficult to keep from spinning into a flame-war. That being said, this thread is going nowhere fast...

I didn't think they had confirmed that yet?

Re: What are the tranny problems? Basically you've got an AWD system with a high-torque turbo. When some numb-nutz decides to drop the clutch at 6000 rpm, you're gonna have tranny troubles. Evidently Subaru didn't do that good a job re-inforcing the differentials. Either that or they didn't...

Regarding your post from the Protegeclub forum thread: chill dude. I'm bored at work, just having some fun. All previous joking aside, big_ben, you're right about the M3. I guess I'm biased because I have a 2001 M3. Only thing is, it kills my bank account. My payments are about $1200 / month...

Re: I told you so! You mean act exactly the same way you're acting? Man, you crack me up...

Re: I wish I would have waited What you said. WRX is a nice ride, but many tranny problems have surfaced. Better to wait a year to iron out problems.

Yes, you are right, I am completely stupid and brain dead. Or else I must be to allow myself to be sucked into replying to your post. You don't want me here, fine, get the mods to ban me. You want me to shut up? Post something intelligent to retort my comments. If you can understand that P5...

Don't worry about it too much. Bottom line, you never authorized Mazda to do any repairs to your car other than those that would be covered by your insurance company. You have your car; that is good. You also haven't paid any money out of your own pocket; that is also good. It's up to the...

There are lighting standards that must be adhered. The car manufacturers design the headlamp shape and bulb arrangement a certain way to meet these standards. Changing it means that you have changed the functionality and maybe the safety of your vehicle.

Check with the QTM (Quebec Ministry of Transportation). They are the only ones who have laws covering automobiles. The eyelids should be fine during the day, but at night they can make you take them off. As far as the banner, check with the QTM.

It'd be fun til you actually cause an accident because of it...

Man, you'd figure people with SUVs should be the last people who would want to lead foot it... he probably burned $10 in gas racing you...

Oh my gawd! Are you all brainwashed ricers? Do you realize that the MP3 and the P5 share the exact same chassis?!?! Do you also realize that swaybars add more to the way a car feels, more than outright performance gains? Look, put some Z-rated rubber on your P5 and go chase your buddy's MP3...

I believe you. That is, I believe that your P5 gets pulled on by your friend's MP3. As far as the P5 being nearly 2 seconds (!) slower than an MP3 0-60, that is ridiculous unless the P5 is a slushbox. As far as I'm concerned, P5, ProES and MP3 are all within spitting distance of each other in...

Come on now, the weight difference between a P5 and an MP3? That can be made up for by dieting the driver... Seriously, do you really believe that a P5 could not keep up with your much ballyhooed MP3? By the way, 10hp at the crank = approx. 8hp at the wheels, that number is less than...

I agree that the G-Tech isn't the most accurate measuring stick, but it is highly repeatable. It's a good measuring stick for faster/slower, but not in absolute terms. Anyways, all I was trying to get at was that the MP3 is no faster than the P5 or ES, in my experiences. Your personal mileage...
