  Fog lamps needed, let me know if you have an extra set.

 

"Just a question I would like to pose to you all. When was the last time you took a drive to  nowhere, driving just for the hell of it. Well it may have something do to with the fact that gas is almost four dollars a gallon. But shouldn't it be like other things we make time for? Other than motorcyclist, which I know a few of, the rest of us who are actually human look at driving as more of a chore, not a privilege. One morning get in your car and drive through the country, with its curvy roads and tight corners it should wake you up. Driving used to be a time to think, to put things in perspective. No cell phones, no passengers, Just you, the car and the road. When the roads are empty and the street lights are just going off would be the perfect time. Just cruse man.
Peace."

This is my first car that I'm proud of. In the future I'm going to trick it out, starting with the cold air intake I ordered. Let me know what you think, it would be cool if this were a car built by the community.

By the way, check out www.mazdas247.com, hell, even if you don't drive a Mazda its still a place to hang out if you like cars.

THe MSP does look like a Evo/STi beast haha. but im keeping the rims untill i can afford a new set, like you said, it aint broke why fix it hah. the only reason i want new rims is Bigger, and lighter. haha. but the time will come one day. Good luck with future mods on your car. if you need hard pipes contact me again cause ill be getting rid of mine for a FMIC next mounth.

Gotta love the MSP! Good luck with evolving it! If you are looking for a 3" Vibrant Exhaust for your MSP, I know of one, new in the box, for $680 + shipping.

Check out my MSP. I may give you some ideas.

Nice buy! I friggin love mine. The fogs are not stock they are G3 inserts that have a Pilot fog light kit. I've been using the Pilot kit for over 2 years now and really like it, but the G3 inserts are hard to find. Go to mazdas247.com for anything you could ever want to know about your car, mods, and trouble shooting is very helpful, also the for sale section has pretty good buys on mods. Good luck with your car.
