What have you done to your MSP today?

I'd like to see the ratio of MSP's by mods/reliability to stock/reliability. Stock of course meaning non-performance mods exempt.
 
I have never had a problem out of my car that I did not cause. I think that most people just either abuse the s*** out of their car or they mod it and do not do a complete or thorough job installing the mods. And after they do that they blame the car....


BOTH of which I have witnessed first had in my local mazdaspeed community.
 
Honestly the only thing that broke on my car was the transmission and that was with way more HPs than a stock one.
 
Now that everything's apart there seems to be more damage than anticicpated, and I'm out of funds. :( Going to be parting out, will get everything with pics/signage this weekend. Sorry guys. I tried to ressurect it, but it just ain't happenin'. Sometimes you gotta know when to throw in the towel.

On the plus side I will have some choice parts with low miles on them for sale here soon. And I always price my stuff to move quickly.

What kind of damage?
 
Windage tray, cylinder head, and oil pump. I barely have the funds for fluids and gaskets, so I am done. I'm just not willing to put any more money into it.
 
Well don't be stranger on the forums and drop some knowledge on these new cats every once and awhile. What kind of ems where you running
 
Yeah.....haven't made the announcement yet, but my msp will not be making a come back. It's just been so stressful dealing with the guy doing the work....and his shady ways. Gave me a sour taste in my mouth. Didn't want the msp to become something I hate because of this guy, and decided to let her go as something I will remember as an awesome car. It wasn't an over night decision, and I def shed a few tears over it, but I feel like its time to move on......

Wow this suck. Why GOD! Whhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!! Hope it all works out well for you guys in the end.

yea everything is going to turn out ok for me. I'm going to look at another mazda for me this weekend. My brother needs a reliable car so i'm probably going to give him my miata.
 
By years end, how many of the "regular" MSP owners will have unloaded their MSP? Ryan, Mike, and now Joey... Not to mention quite a few I've seen sold recently... My car will be up for sale within a couple of months assuming I ever put it back together..
 
i know....this forum has slowed down alot over the past year, and its only going to slow down more. i remember 5 years ago when i couldn't keep up with what everyone was posting.

Yeah... for the MSP crowd, you guys have really lost a lot of folks. Just judging by what I've seen, I guess people are getting sick of spending a lot of money just to "catch up" to modern naturally aspirated cars in the same class. It's a shame that such a nice looking car gets discarded so easily.
