Hi all,

any MSP owners in Akron, OH? or maybe some mp3?
I saw a nice yellow mp3 parked near the Great Lakes brewery in cleveland (2 weekends ago)...pretty nice ride...

I'm from Akron. My Titanium MSP is stock right now (except the Blizzaks). Are you the one I saw in Montrose Saturday?
 
In front of mustard-seed market? yeap that's me!
1st time I ever saw another titanium speed in the area! when did you get it? I bought mine 2 months ago...

I stock too, besides the Dunlop Graspics and my tail-lights...
 
It was nice to see another one on the road. A guy I work with bought a blue one a couple weeks ago and he said got an email from you about your deal. I probably bought mine right before you. There were 2 at the time and one had the different lights. S-plan and rebates are wonderful things.
This is supposed to be my commuter car so I'm trying to resist spending money on it. I have a boost controller sitting at home and am hoping to get some gauges for christmas and eventually find a trunklid in a junkyard without a spoiler. I have some work to do on my 72 Chevelle before next summer and I want to build a spec miata a plan a wedding. I think I need about 4 more jobs....
 
Sweet!
We should get together sometime.
I`d like to install a turbo gauge (steering or pod, don't know yet) eventually, but I don't know much about the mechanic of a car...I`d like to see your gauge setup once it`s on there...(as well as the MBC).
Did you have your car flashed yet? Got any of the common hesitations and other issues? Got mine flashed last week at wooster and there is still some hesitations...maybe a CAI or K&N filter would help... I`m thinking of adding some mods this spring/summer!

On another note, how many cars do you have? What do you mean by spec miata?

I guess you want to go with the sleeper look for your `Speed?

s-plan + rebates = lots of fun for cheap!

My car was flashed before I picked it up. I had some hesitation, but since I put in the K&N drop in filter it has pretty much gone away.
I'm going to be putting my gauges in the spot right below the radio where they won't be too noticeable when the car is parked.
I'm not a fan of big spoilers at all in general, and I like the look of the protege from the side without it.
Spec Miata is a road race series for 90-97 Miatas. They all use stock engines, a specified suspension, gutted interiors, roll cage and specified tires. Very close racing with an emphasis on the driver. Its the cheapest way to get into road racing. I autocrossed a Trans Am this year.
Right now I just have my 72 Chevelle, the Mazda and an old beater Bronco 2. I plan on getting the Miata sometime around February/March. Here is a site with some of my recent cars Here is a site with some of my recent cars. Hasn't been updated for 6 months or so though.
 
Hey Orange...welcome!
We don't see lots of p5 here either...

sm76! you're gf's cute! :) cool site...

You know, I got my 'Speed at Wooster Mazda and the salesman told me it was flashed but then I called service and they told me it wasn't! You might want to check...
Got it flashed, but I still have a bit of hesitation...getting the K&N filter tomorrow!

For the gauge, I'd like to have it mounted on the steering (like in the WRX)...I'll see if the dealership can do it (they are willing to install gauges)...
 
I'm starting to feel like these things are all over. We now have 3 Mazdaspeeds in the parking lot here at work (2 titanium, 1 blue). There is a red P5 and a black MP3 clone out there too.
I hope to start updating that site sometime in the near future. I have so many pictures from travelling and I have to add the speed onto it.
I guess I can't really be sure if its flashed or not, but as long as I don't have hesitation I'm fine with it either way. When I start playing with the boost, I'll head over to Backstreet performance where I dynoed my WS6 and see what my air/fuel looks like.
Does the boost gauge on the column block the speedo or tach? That was the main reason I didn't like it. That and I need the three gauges so I can watch my oil too.
 
lol actually damaga if u are referring to me, I have had my car since March 2003... just hadn't joined yet
 
hey im close by....maybe we can all have a North Ohio MSP/MP3/P5 meet or something

i live like 30 minutes away form Canton
 
Let`s wait for spring (i.e. when I get to put my potenzas back on) and then we should definetly set up a meet!
