Negatives?

I heard no complaints

The limiter lets it go to 135mph? I had read somewhere that it was limited to 130mph. Nice! I had heard that stock the car should reach about 143mph.

So,,,,,,what are your thoughts on what I have mentioned about the effect the K&N has had regarding the stumbling (hiccuping) effect while accelerating? Interesting. I hope the stumbling stays away now, for good.

Yep I hit 135 and it just cut out, I'm almost certain it was a rev limiter and not a speed limiter. I was staring at the MPH and when i let off I just slowed down and didn't have a chance to see the RPM.

I think every car may have a different way it runs, yours seems to be running a bit better than others. Turn on your Defroster for the front window and see if the problem worsens. I noticed with the A/C on it is much worse.

when you hit 135mph on the speedo...you were probably only going 130mph. I believe that all car's speedo is incorrect after a certain high speed. I remember reading in my previous's car manual that it was limited to only 181km/h. But I onced hit 190km/h on the speedometer with no mods what so ever. But i'm sure the speedometer is incorrect.
anyway, this is just my thought, perhaps our MSP can really hit 135mph. great! (thumb)

Negatives:
1. non-stop rear clunk noise whenever the car sways from side to side on uneven pavement.
2. Stereo is awesome with more than enough bass and very clear, but depending on your background on stereo or if you're a true audiophilie, if you've ever had an aftermarket system installed, most are better.
3. Where's my three head rest i was suppose to get in the rear seats?
4. hiccup as AGR#7 mention when you back off the throttle suddenly when you're spooling.
5. I could use some luxury.....

My negatives:
1.Clunk
2.Seats Suck (where is the support?)
3.I dont like how the doors dont have armrests
4.This kinda goes with #2, but since there doors are flat, the window buttons are placed vertically on the door, which is a wierd position
5.Stereo kicks ass, but it turns off sometimes???
6.everyone wants to race and I dont want anymore tickets.

Armrests.....Dude go get a luxury car. You bought a sport compact with a turbo and a great suspension. Who gives a s*** about armrests.

 

[SpicyMSP]

yes I second that... How often will you be using arm rests anyway, if you are driving?

1. Stalled on two separate occassions. Idle low - need to take the Mazda Tech's advice and have it checked out.
2. Mileage varies. Could be becuz I've babied it until I hit 1K miles.

Otherwise, great car. Luxury? what were you expecting from a car that costs so little with so many performance mods as a production car? (Turbo, shocks, suspension, stereo system, LSD, heavy duty clutch plate, brake upgrade, tires, wheels, sparco stuff, etc.)
