What have you done to your MSP today?

[SCMP3]

my left sideskirt has come undone a bit...looks like its held by a couple of clips in the middle?

Mine has recently did this too. The clips are like $5 a piece through Mazda ....

Thanks but not really looking for a stock replacement if I do replace it.... nothing wrong with the one that I have other then thecap is fubar.

Figured I'd throw it out there, plus I just changed my avatar and it makes me laugh everytime i see it.

 

[lizardman743]

Avatars are for sissys.

Discovered the previous owner of my car forced a MTX rad cap on a ATX rad... I dont get it... Whoever it was chunked out some cash for high end name brnd crap yet is to cheap to spend 8 bucks on a correct rad cap....

Figured I'd throw it out there, plus I just changed my avatar and it makes me laugh everytime i see it.

lol well whatever floats your boat!

Someone shoot me.. first teh rad cap.. get that figured out and running good. Then the stupid break/clutch cap thing cracks open.. lol almost ran over a kid because A) he was stupid adn rode his bike behind me and b) couldnt get the car out of reverse... Looks like its a dealer only item.. any idea on the cost of that?

Edit: For those that don't know what that means... its means no clutch yippie. lol Thankfully I have a second car.

Put it up for sale officially, craigslist as well as this forum =] i can smell the leather seats of my future rx8 already!!

And you thought the MSP was a maintenance nightmare......

And you thought the MSP was a maintenance nightmare......

NEVER SAID THAT!! i know the rx8 is going to need oil, but that should be the only main difference, other then the fact that im obligated to WOT at least once every two days =] no complaints there. But i go to school (college) and barely drive (live on campus), i only drive to and from school mainly, or just across the highway to walmart etc. and i work ON campus so i figured might as well go with something nicer and more luxurious

Hood thing to cause gas mileage on them sucks from what I've heard.

 

[shane02pro5]

You realize how slow they are right??

go ahead and buy all of them instead of just ones to replace the broken ones.
When you take the side skirt off your almost guaranteed to break them lol
I broke 3 just putting on the new fenders. the design on the clips is straight retarded

 

[SCMP3]

Can you get them anywhere other than mazda?

 

[SpeedAdiction20]

ya my friend has one that he has put a good number of basic mods on them, and I poo poo on him lol, should just take the CAT out and shoot flames all the time, I guess that is the only good thing I really like about them, other than them looking cool, but you could do that with the msp too, but rotary sounds pretty sweet as well

the design on the clips is straight retarded

along with a list of other things on this car... lol.

 

[SCMP3]

I've shot flames out of my exhaust on the msp.....atleast that's what I was told by 2 different people on 2 different occasions...

if i was going for speed i would just throw my gt28rs on my car like i originally plannd and have it run at 20-22psi and call it a day, but i want luxary/sport now.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I get what youre saying. I love my MSP but sometimes it feels a little "boy racer"

Being 19 is SUCH a great excuse to have one.

 

[StealthWyvern]

Did nothing today but will order a new brake cap at the dealership when I get off work.. pricey little bugger.. 28 bucks and I hve to wait tell they receive it.

i just turned 20, lol. it just feels like a shopping cart to me now, i want something that has mass to it (for example, i dont want doors that can be closed by the wind, heavy doors feel so much nicer) and feels like it was made nicer, hence why i wont buy an rx8 unless it has ALL the amenities (except gps, i dont give a s*** about gps) but i want leather seats and the bose. plus my girl digs the rx8 almost as much as i do since she finally saw one in person the other day.

edit:
Not bashing on the MSP, its a great car, ive just grown out of it, id rather have a low RWD luxirious ride then have my head slammed back into my seat from the torque. Which makes sense because the RX8 has a ridiculously smooooooth power band

 

[lizardman743]

I actually rather like how simple and spartan it is. Feel very connected to road and car. It's noisy and stiff and I rather like it. (Shrugs)
