I've owned one.....There's no reason why mazdaspeed owners would have to go anywhere.....that doesn't make any sense.

The MSP is not it's own vehicle...it's just a different model of 3rd gen...as is the P5, MP3, ES, LX, DX.....The differences you find in the MSP and the ES are the same ones you'll find in every other model of 3rd gen....

As a MSP (former) and P5 owner I find this site very easy to navigate and find model specific info....as long as the titles of the threads are specific there should be no problems with anything.

This forum doesn't have the traffic/clutter that other forums have.

as long as us few mods do our jobs and keep the forum clean and easy to use (user friendly) and us vendors provide good deals for people we'll build the forum back up!

It always takes more time to correct problems than it does to do it right the first time!

Rod didn't say that they're one and the same... he said they all spawned from the same basic car, as did the Buick Regals. I'm sure it kills you to think your MSP is just an ES with a few mods, but IT IS!

What a half-loaded argumentaive response.....

My comment about the MSP being a different model of 3rd gen protege is accurate. Your comment about buick regals is stupid because you're talking about a span of varying models and drivetrains. I'm not. 99-03 Proteges are all basically the same with minor powertrain and suspension differences.

Sheesh, sometimes I think people just want to be argumenative.

Prime> I don't know what your beef with the other site is, but honestly it seems to be getting a little desperate. This sites fortunately got a pretty big history for searches, and I've actualy been trying to contribute lately instead fo telling ppl to jump ship, but in all honestly it's quite dismal around here anymore. Let's face it, there's just really not much of a group of regulars over here. Seems all of the knowledgeable guys just sorta seem to drop in every other week if they even remember to mostly just 'cause there's not much happening.

Is there a legitimate thing that the rest of us should know about or is it all personal politics? If it's something important, etc. I'll do my best to start pulling ppl over. Perhaps you can PM me if it's kinda on the D-low or something but I know there's a couple of us who are more than curious.

my personal beef with protege5.com has absolutely NOTHING to do with how I moderate this forum. It doesn't affect my ability to do my "job" and do it well.

Also, this is WAY OT. You should read every post I make and tell me how many times I've insulted / put down / made fun of other forums. I bet it's less than 2.

"MSP is just an ES with a few mods, but IT IS!"


Way more than just a few. To me a few is 3 or more changes. If that were the case it would take 10 minutes to make an ES into an MSP.....no friggin way.

Oh, I know it's OT, just finally hit me enough to post on it. Dislike me all you want, Hell delete this all if you wish, I'm just stating what everyone else is wondering and isn't asking. And plain and simple what's on my mind. It's like the little roddimus prime realm over here, seems everything's just at your discretion. not saying it's necessarily bad, just seems odd.

I'm HONESTLY not trying to attack, just curious and seeking info. If there's good reason to stay away from the other site, I'd like to know so I can do likewise. I don't particualrly have any allegiances, but perhaps I jsut don't know any better, this is why I ask.
