Best and Worst moments with your MSP?

[Butternuts]

Thought this might be fun and i need a little fun tonight

WORST: The moment i heard that damn turkey!!! I didnt even know a car could make that sound and i was so excited to hear the fshhhhoooo of the sucking and the psshhhhhh of the blow off... little did i know.

BEST: When, after 3 hours of removing my stock exhaust, I heard my vibrant for the first time... i was giddy... like a school girl. That exhaust was a b**** to get off too... had to cut the muffler off cause the bolts were rusted together ><

Lets hear your best and worst moments!!

[ForceFed]

Worst....Blowing the First motor Ever in an MSP...@ 3300 miles as well.

Best...Selling that b**** off after 3 painful years fighting with it!

 

[BlueWolfCry]

WORST: When I think of all the problems with my car - rattles, rust in areas, bad paint, dirty interior, miles on it, etc

BEST: When I arrived at the airport and saw it in the parking lot for the first time!

 

[greasemonkey524]

WORST: This must have been when we put the clutch/flywheel in the car last fall and the trans. fell off the trans. jack. Must have been about 4ft. off the ground when it fell. Got the trans back in the car and realized the only gears it would shift in was 1st, 3rd, and 5th. Wouldn't budge trying to get it 2nd, 4th, or reverse. When it fell it landed on the shifter arm/linkage.

BEST: Pretty much everytime I take the car out! Nothing too specific that I can recall.

 

[BOOSTR]

Worst: Day 3 of ownership when I experienced the hesitation for the first time and then having the dealer tell me that Mazda was aware of the problem but had no fix.

Best: The day I installed CustomMSP's smic and said goodbye to that euro truck intercooler.

 

[Knox Joe]

Worst: When I brought it back to stock to sell it, only to have it sit for 6 months.

Best: Getting all my mods back on and realizing how much I love this car, and deciding to just accept the car for what it is, and work with it.

Hopefully I have postponed my inevitable blown engine with my mods, but we'll see. I'll probably have to come update this with an engine blown for the worst.

 

[2.0t03speed]

Worst: When my valve seals we so ****** that i went thru 4 qt of oil in a week.

Best: When my car only put down 180 on the dyno but i went out after that and started beating on cars that i have seen put down 195+

Soon my best moment will be when i start up my new built motor and start breaking it in with the gt28rs

 

[Rush]

BEST: Getting my MSP running after it took 16 hours to put on my MAM FMIC kit with my GReddy RS BOV .. along with cutting some of the hardpipes to relocate the MAF .. and cutting the SRI piping to make it fit right .. and plugging the holes for the BPV that wasn't used .. and .. and .. and ..

WORST: When Kooldino's sprinkler system came on at 5am as I was lying under my MSP in his driveway, fastening the last of the splash guard stuff back on, after that 16 hour FMIC install. Nothing like finishing off an install like that with an unexpected shower.

 

[StreetStyleJPTI]

Best: When I thought it was totalled...

Worst: From the moment I purchased this POS...

 

[RacerXGirl]

Worst: finding that someone had backed into my rear quarter panel and didn't leave a note (and at a church too!)

Best: whenever I'm walking out to my car in a parking lot and catch myself thinking "that's such a pretty car...oh wait, that's MY car!"

 

[Jboost]

best: about two weeks after i got my MSP i went to the grocery store and parked next to a 06' mustang with nice rims, exauhst and a nice drop. asked the guy about the drop and he was a prick i said nice car and he ignored me, finally his like 12 year old kid turns to me and says he is mad cause i said your car looked nicer than his when you pulled in I loled the whole time i was shopping.

Worst: having to tell everyone that it isn't as fast as it looks.

 

[mazdaspeedwerx]

best: knowing that it will be sold hopefully soon

worst: its not sold yet

 

[fr0st]

worst: got pwned by a beat up 92 civic hatch (with a B18C) only had a SMIC.. today it wouldn't be the same result

best : the way people look at it when i make the turkey blow

 

[laracroft]

Worst moment: The last 4 years since I started modding after I took it out the show room

Best Moment: The last dyno after 4+ years of trying to make good hp & boost


P.S.
If you stick with it... there IS a light at the end of the money pit... I mean tunnel...

 

[JarHeadSpeed]

WORST: Exactly one week after I bought my MSP it was broken into and they stole the CD player and the amp

BEST: After installing my 'twiggy' sticks and removing my cats and then turing her on for the first time. It reminded me of the Cadillac commercial "when you turn your car on does it return the favor?"

 

[yashooa]

Worst moment: The last 4 years since I started modding after I took it out the show room

Best Moment: The last dyno after 4+ years of trying to make good hp & boost

Man I am still in that pit.
I love the car and the engine is rock solid badass but I want some KW coilovers (to replace my current set), 1200 worth of new gauges, new Head unit, some Sparco seats, all the GT SPEC stuff, some 13'' inch 4 piston brakes, and I will probably want some other stuff once I see on someone's car
Yeah I am a sick man.
Oh yeah some super light forged wheels that don't look like balls. I haven't found any yet.
Of course I will need to build the tranny even though I have a welded diff because I cant hook up without risking the tranny.
Good thing I plan on keeping the car forever. I will get another car next year but the MSP will be around for a long while.

Worst time: Diff breaking 80 miles from home, in the 106 degree heat and a 245.00 tow home with my teenage daughter who I was taking to ACON
Best time: walking sideways in the first three gears after getting my mods done WOOHOO FUCKERS! It was great.

 

[Outlawstar98]

worst: stalling on me, thats the extent on it for me lol.

best: when i got it up to 130... lol

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

Worst: 1: trying to figure out the wga was bad after removing the turbo.
2: LSD breaking

BEST: every morning when i get in my msp to drive to school!!!

 

[mazda03maniac]

worst: when i got rear ended by a big old truck and didn't have my car for 2 months

best: the first time i sat behind the wheel

 

[terbow]

worst: the first time i ever dialed the number for mental addiction

best: when beau finally stopped talking to me.
