Heres my 2003.5 Mazdaspeed. I really had no intention on picking up a mazdaspeed until my cousin, thepope540 told me to go take a look at this one on craigslist. It has a few issues but for the price I couldnt refuse. For the most part it is stock, other than gauges and corksport's smaller version exhaust, and a welded differential.

Not sure how crazy Ill get with the mods. Itll most likely see a full 3" exhaust downpipe included, some sort of engine management <-- havent decided, fmic w bov, and some motor mounts.

I used to be into miatas pretty heavily. My car became so hardcore that I really couldnt drive it as often as I wanted to. Im currently parting it out. (unamused)

Does that car run? I talked to that guy and he said it didnt run and wasnt sure what was wrong with it. did you get the spare motor with it and everything?

 

[slutz5]

He sold it to me the assumption it didnt run. Basically, he was driving it one day and it started breaking up real bad. I dont think he tried driving it afterwards, he just took it home to park it. I put an all new ignition setup on it, which will hopefully fix the issue. I drove the car around after I got it and it ran perfectly fine, then after about 15 mins the check engine light started flashing and the engine was breaking up again. The car also needs a wheel bearing installed, which Im doing this weekend, and part of the reason I havent drove it again to check out how it runs now.

Yeah it came with the spare engine that has wisecos and k1 rods.

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

Yeah, nice buy man. too bad the block is fubar!!!

 

[slutz5]

hahah yeah. It blows. Still came with a cleaned head. I may rebuild an engine to put in the car with the pistons/rods.

My goal is to have the car run till next fall on stock boost then rebuild the engine. In the mean time Im gonna do exhaust/fmic/ecu. I really dont know what engine management I want though. I see alot of conflicting arguments back and forth between all the products.
