(humpleg) Man i am totally pumped on getting it now, i even quite like the yellow

and also other wicked news, is my friends uncle owns a paint shop out in chilliwack, he said i could get the whole thing done in any colour i want for like $600, and he does a really good job, i saw my friends car re-painted black, looked excellent until it got t-boned :(


but yeah, new paint job.... shnoogins


Yeah - I LOVE the handling -boost is fun

I have the Blazing Yellow- -

I really wanted the blue but I got what I could. The Yellow is actually a very nice color- it looks great all cleaned up and sparkley - dont repaint it - you will ruin it!
 
yeah i am rethinking the whole paint job, the yellow does look real nice, there is one at a nissan dealership but it is covered in pollen and the yellow still comes through but it looks dull, i can't wait to take some polish to that bad boy ;)

What makes your 2nd gen a "speed" besides the spoiler? Not flaming or anything, just curious what you have done to it?
 
Best car for the money. Fun to drive. I get more looks and questions than someone with a 40 g sports car just because there is not many speeds out there. I can't stand not to be original, and that's why i would never be caught dead in a honda or a newer mustang. It does have a few quirks, but that just me an excuse to go get some sick aftermarket replacements. The only thing that I hate is the klunk, but it's easy to fix. Buy it and DONT paint it.
 
i'm hear ya jurgs, i just wish they weren't so strict on the warantee, all i hear is if you do anything i'll void the warantee, blah blah blah

and also... what is this clunk you speak of?? (smoke)

Okay. I will chime in. And; Good morning, everyone! My 'Speed sits in the garage as I type this. It has been a rainy weekend. I finished up the Meguiar's 3 Step System on Friday (substituting Gold Class for Step 3 Carnauba), took it out once, and back to the garage where it glows. I have about 21,000 miles on it now, and it's just been great. Yes; I have upped the boost to about 9.5psi, but that's about it, other than the K&N Panel Filter. 'Had the K&N Cone, and sold it.

For me; it's a fun car with incredible handling & road feel, with a really nice stock stereo. It's rare, to be sure, and that is also nice. I said it a year ago, and, I say it again. For my $20,500, I couldn't have gotten a better car for my money. (thumb)

Yes! Boys and Girls:
I LOVE MY MAZDASPEED!!!

Rarity!!!! I have #2009, i have seen 2 in 3 months one on the road the other at a meet. Thats it!!!!
Color - Deep pearl paint Silver!!!
Handling - my roomy has a 2001 civic and has put 1200 in suspension work and still barely keeps up with the Speed.
Turbo - 2 grand extra to make it perfect instead of 8 grand to add one.

4 doors, priceless to me since i have never owned a 4 door till now. So practical.

Stereo - best stock radio i have ever seen. Play with the radio a bit and you can have it sounding like a 10" in no time!!!

So 2 grand to make the turbo perfect? care to expand upon that? what do you do with the 2 grand to make the turbo better, and what kind of performance increase? thanks
 
I love everything about my speed. soo hot soo quick. Plus I like the fact that it came with sexy wheels instead of me having to spend some serious coin to gets some aftermarket ones. Plus I think there are maybe 2 other speeds in my town... I think its more like 1.... I never see the others.
 
I love that the fact that it's the ONLY one in town. I have one of the only turbo'd cars in my town (small town). I love how everytime I go to the gas station someone asks me about it. I love how big the eyes of people who know cars get, when I tell them what kind of car I have. I love everything about my car man! The interior and stock stereo freakin' rock, the handling is amazing and passing ricer civics and watching them struggle in your rear-view mirror to catch up is priceless. I especially loved the time I was slowly creeping up to a red light one night and there was a RICED-out civic in the next lane already stopped. I was in 2nd going about 15 or so and the light turned green, I shifted in to first and gunned it right nect to his windows and my tires lost traction and got all gnarly for a second and I was gone. I was going about 60 or so when I decided to slow down to 45. When I did the dude came flying past me ( by that time it was a one-way road) and he flew into the other lane across double yellow lines, all I did was down shift into 3rd and he was in my rear-view mirror once again. It was great! I love this car!!!
 
2 grand = FMIC kit and downpipe/catback 2.5" or 3". So if you go custom it will be cheaper and could be about 2 grand all in all.
 
I like the fact that it is limited, easy to upgrade, and it makes the gals drop their pants. Oh wait, that last one's my Kia.
 
the fact that its the best bang for the buck under 30K... and i got it for WAY under 30K. looks the best too while still being practical... oh and did i mention its built in japan?! (band2)
 
i luv "THE CLUNK"...the smooth jolt of pain i recieve in my ass followed by the horrible sound sense chills down my back...and the horrible bass i recieve from my blown subwoofer is music to my ears....the nice windshield crack just adds to the edgy stylin of my msp......but i still luv my s*** :)
