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

    Yup. Unfortunately, I don't have the time nor the money to fix the car or have it fixed. I'll be looking for another MSP in the near future. I only had that car for 3 days before the Turbo blew, and I still loved the car LOL. Might pick up a 1G Miata for the mean time though, so I'm not leaving...

    Found out what the problem was. The first cylinder was missfiring and the Turbo was blown to s***, so I brought the car back to the guy I bought it from. He took $500 from me to fix the turbo because apparently it was my fault for racing, yet I kept the car parking in my driveway for the two...

    Pistons and Rods were forged less than 1k miles ago. I plan on replacing the turbo first. a 143k turbo probably won't last much longer, and I don't think I'd like to rebuild it. Any suggestions on what turbo I should go with?
