Buying a msp

:
2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege
I am going to be buying a msp in the next week or so provided things work out. My question, is there anything thing I need to do to this thing first? Beside basic mantience stuff. Any major problems with these that I need to upgrade or replace before it goes bad. I hear that the manifold should be replace due to stock mani crams easy? If so what turbo mani should I buy? Just need basic stuff guys. Not looking to up the horsepower right now. Just making it good to drive. Lol

Thanks in advance
 
I would change the front engine mount if it hasn't been. Also check if the LSD was ever changed.
 
Speaking of motor mounts what's the deal with the corksport motor mount inserts? What's the point? Why do you have to have them when buying corksport exhaust? And most of all are the functional?

Need to start a new thread in the 2.0 area I suppose. :)

But yes, full tune up and all fluids changed the day I buy it! I have heard if people using the 1.8 coil packs in the 2.0 does that apply for msp as well?
