I agree with you the numbers are a lil low for the turbo and intercooler but mabe i'm not smart either. To me it seams like there are some restrictions on it cause of US standards mabe with a new BOV or some other stuff might help it get the Ponies up a lil. But if your gonna mod it why buy it hooked up. I guess mabe buy a stripped reg. Protege and turbo it what do you guys think. Might not save that much money but you'll have a jucy lil protege done the right way pushing out like 200 horsies. :smirk:

I could be wrong though.

More importantly, the MSP will get a limited slip diff and 2mm-wider output shafts...we'll have to see how it affects the steering quickness... CONTROL!

well, spoke with the wife last night. she agreed to getting one. only deal is, i cant teach her how to drive stick cause ill just get irratated with her, so my brother or friend has to teach her. mazda dealer here in los angeles said they expect to get them early december. around the same time they will be getting the mazda 6. i also asked about a waiting list and he said he was looking over a memo today and it said the car will be in full production so there is no need for a list. and it will come out in different colors one day. So I guess im trading in the malibu for a good ole mazda

prolly early january. the dealership called me last night and said they are getting 4 in this december but all for are orange, so i guess im gonna have to wait. plus if i get the second batch, all the kinks and other stuff will be worked out a little better. the reason they dont have em in stock right now is because of our port issues. so they are still at sea, waiting to get off the boat. the salesman also said 2600 produced and 1200 are gonna be orange for sales in US and Canada

I would suspect the new Mazda 6 is in the same port, they should have been in dealers by now.
