it's getting to me

I say get a grip. Its just a vehicle. I have other hobbies though, so I guess thats why I don't take my cars that much too heart. But I do love my mazdaspeed. A type r isn't that much more of a car if better at all. Go out and get one. I'll be looking for you on the honda boards talking about the frankenstein hatch people keep ragging on my hype R. There's always something bigger and badder out there. Just enjoy your speed and be an individual bro. Your speed looks great btw!
 
Iv'e notcied that most people who criticize my car are still way slower than me. I have many friends that give me s***....but they still will admit that they are jealous once in a while...plus it is still faster than their cars. Seriously...I take WRX's ALL DAY. Through this one S-curve section that I tend to always race, the only car that beat me through it was this nasty ass VR6 my friend had with a uber-bad-ass suspension. Oh and not a single honda has beaten me yet....even when I was stock. What cars are your friends driving, dude? Do they have room to talk? Jealous people say stupid mean s*** man....
 
I went up to a mini meet last night in town, and there were alot of people i didnt know up there, but a few i did, well as soon as i got out and popped the hood i had to whole crowd of 15-20 people standing around checking my car out telling me how nice it was.
**** the haters, you bought the car because it appealed to you, not to anyone else.
I know peoples opinion's matter to you, and in that case, i think you should make them hate your car more.
Then when you see them on the street, tell them to **** off.
Dont race em, just make em look like a clown for being a dickhead when they peel out and rear-end soccer mom.

Unfortunately most of the world is gonna hate on what you do, and in that case, you find the people who appreciate your car, and you chill with them, and ignore the rest.
 
supman, who cares. I can tell you alot of people love the speed. I get completments and attract attention all the time. Your friends dont really sound like friends to me. Screw them.

Wait till prefwork get the AEM standalone to work...then lets see them talk smack.

I've actually been in Vancouver numerous times and I can tell you Hondas and WRXs are big up there...who care! Tell your buddy he dives a honda. The only Honda I give respect to is the S2000 and Type R. I guess it is diffrent up in Canada...

Man Vancouver need to get there act together. If anyone drives a Honda down here they get laughed off the face of the earth (excluding S2000 and NSX). Your car looks sick. I would have definately taken the speed over a Civic. The Type R is repectable but then again its not turboed. You need to move! All you have to do is rev up your engine and let them hear that turbo...that will shut them up. You could own a WRX, Civic or ITR but then you'll join the millions out there and not turn any heads
 
geez i dont even know if this post is worth my response but hell i aint got nothing else to do...

it seems to me like youve definately got some issues... it has absolutely nothing to do with the car u drive, and your driving a pretty damn nice car. what kind of friends are these that bash your car? i do it with my really close friends and its all in good fun but hell whats wrong with this picture? theyre telling you that the type r is better? last time i checked the msp took top honors over the type r in handling and overall fun... and you have 4 doors and a trunk to boot! not only that but type r's arent even available nemore... how can u get one unless u settle for a beat up POS? not to forget that the type r cost over $4K CDN more than the msrp on the msp... and the mazdas are going for $6K under msrp brand new now! these retards are obviously spoiled, disillusioned babies who dont understand the value of a dollar or what real performance is... they just see the most common thing on the road and assume its good just because the next idiot magazine racer says so

all this begs me to ask the question what the hell do these "friends" of yours drive? im gettin the impression that these kids are confused lil delinquents who enjoy hanging out at tim hortons on the weekends thinking that theyre kewl becasue theyre around the most common friggin hondas with rice cans, neons and stickers. i only wish i could see these kids for myself id put them in their place real quick... i just dont understand why you dont do it yourself, your honestly giving me the impression that your some 16 year old crybaby... grow some balls and plant your feet

sorry if all this seems harsh but honestly if your gonna start by being molded by what others say then your in for a rough ride my friend
 
Hey I have people telling me that my car is slow all day long especially from gti owners. I was kind of wondering if I made a mistake to buy my car. But I know that I didnt because those same gti owners that crack im beating left and right. No matter what people are gonna talk s***, thats just the way they are. But once you start taking them down and start showing them whats up they will have a new respect for your car. Oh yeah and by the way type Rs and wrx's are not that fast with a few mods you will be able to take them without any problems
 
lol i walk type R's and SIr's.
lol if its performance that you think the msp is lacking all i can say to you is start modding....im not the fastest but im sure as hell not close to the slowest import car on the street. 14.4 at 105 is easily a mid 13 sec car and this is daily driven...the potential is there.
 
do you think the first of the modded import guys who got scoffed at and made fun of by the mustang and camaro crowd decided to sell thier four banger and go buy a gas guzzling domestic? hell no.

you yourself said that your car is awesome. dare to be different. subaru and honda didn't always have the huge aftermarket support they now have. with people bucking the trend and buying into it, maybe mazda will get a bigger piece of that pie. that said, who even cares as long as you enjoy the car?
 
How do you live your life if your so worried about what people think about you... you should be proud of your car, just like all of us are..yeah my car is slow as ****, but it doesnt matter I still love it...sorry to say but, if you can't enjoy your car because others don't then sell it..give it to someone who appriciates the car...who will value the car....should of thought about since the beginning...you bought a protege because you wanted to...not because of other people..and if this is how, you want to live your life so be it....
 
alright thanx guys, i understand now. This pushes me harder to mod my car and go faster, engine work is endless. My appearence though... i don't think i can do much more, any suggestions? i want to leave the a-spec side skirts and rear lip as it is (unless Autoexe makes new ones to match the lip), i think all i can do now is save up for g/m work emotions.
 
The way I see it....our cars already come with all they need for looks. MSPs are gorgeous...don't slap on any ugly ricer cosmetic s***...I say it doesn't need anything but those racing harts and the body kit it comes with!!!

Think outside of the box. Just because we have like three kit available doesn't mean you can't get creative. If you want something bad enough, you'll make it happen.

Just go do it. Be unique. Be yourself.

If you live in Vancouver and if you drive a Civic, you are hated by all the Cops no matter who you are..
And I do mean ALL the cops! Everyone single one of them.
They pull over Civics more than any other car.

Your car looks perfect on the outside.
Spend your extra money for performance mod.

Let all people under estimate you, and they will feel more sorry when they got beat up by your "wolf in a sheep's skin" MSP.
 
It has to be said!

If you are at the point that you don't want your msp anymore, please sell me some of the parts (after t3ease has picked over them cuz he called dibs). Then go out there and get the same ride everyone else has and look like everyone else on the block.

I personally have started to REALLY like that no one in my little town in the desert has a car quite like mine. There's a lot of hondas out there and a lot of subarus, and VERY FEW mazdas. I see them on the streets and when I ride around in my car, I'm the one getting all the appreciative looks and I have NO mods on my car except the dark 5% tint on the windows... of course I'm a chick too and that could be why they're staring.

But seriously, I think our pros have a very stylish non-ricy kind of look to them and they are rated among the top of their type of car, if not at the top. If you're feelin the shame for driving a pro, then perhaps its time to quit the protege club and go join the integra club with everyone else on the block. I say, "screw em" I like being the only one on my block with a pro. (laugh)
