Default I need a pic of the blue MP3 at VIR

I had so much fun that I forgot that I had a story to write about the MP3 I was beating on. Does any have a pic or know of anyone that does. I am gonna try the track guy, anyone else?

I'm downloading to my Imagestation account as we speak. I took two of you in the paddock.

Ah so that was you in the MP3. I was curious, how did it handle out there? What kind of speed could you carry through the esses? What were problem corners for you?

I was in the red Integra in the novice group btw. I had problems on the exit of turn one, and in the other big braking zones, mostly because my pedal felt like mashed potatoes. I'm interested to see how the MP3 handled because I was thinking about buying one instead of the Integra but dealer markups turned me off.

Thanks,
Gerald

I know I am on a Honda board but that MP3 is the best FWD STOCK car I have ever driven. From 5 to 10 I was full throttle, had to lift just a bit for 10. I guess 13 was bad corner for me. I think it was 13, the right at the top of Roller Coaster. The back end would step out just a bit under braking. I caught it every time but it was a bit scary.
I am buying on of thesae cars. The one I had was a press car.

Hey Gerald - it's Mike (blue Civic Si in your group).

Was the brakes mushy after our brake fluid change? I hoped that it helped you on Sunday

Glad to meet you too

Better than the ITR? You know I was wondering about the ridiculously high slalom speed one of the magazines got with the MP3 but I'm beginning to think they were accurate. Has Mazda told you anything about a more powerful MP3 in the near future? MPS maybe?
