what made u go from a porsche to a p5? porsche any year > p5 or mazda

Maintenance costs. I had a 89 944s2-208 hp, koni shocks, boxter wheels. I also had a coule of 914's that I time trialed. But again, maintenance costs. They were reliable, race ready, and could be driven hard, but those cars will nickle and dime you to death with stupid repairs. Bottom line.

Good point-potholes. They destroyed my ability to have an aftermarket sway bar. It would make sense that they would throw off my alignment as well. Hope I am not threadjacking.

Sounds like RX-7's

thanks for all the advice. all the tires are filled at 32 psi. the car fax was clean on the car but when i purchased it, the front right tire was in terrible shape, im assuming because of the bad alignment it had, maybe due to a run in with a curb. i dont know for sure. at the 2nd alignment they showed me the computer read out to prove that everything was as it should be. suspension is stock.

im tempted to take it to a mazda dealership for them to look at, but i really dont like or trust dealership mechanics.

i live in Orange County, CA. Any suggestions on a place to take it? would love to find a trustworthy and smart mechanic. thanks again for the info.

You said the right front tire was in terrible shape, so did you change out the tires? Maybe there is some uneven tread wear? FWD cars eat tires for breakfast, and if the previous owner never bothered to maintain alignment, one of the fronts could have very uneven wear.

I was originally going to suggest tire pressure, as my P5's left front has a slow leak and every month or so it starts to lose couple psi and starts drifting left.
