Fast guy who auto crosses locally swears by the giant oil accumulator he added. Might be worth reading about. Cool car, I really like them.

Yeah, my understanding is the ZZ motors can oil starve under hard lateral Gs; the 1ZZ oil pan has better baffling than the 2ZZ pan for some reason (I think the 2ZZ has crank scrapers that the baffle interferes with).
nice car! i've always had a soft spot for those and it's one i've been considering for my next car payment'd car.... though i just took a looksy again and i cant get over how much people want for them still
Wow very very nice!
Theyre cheaper than a same year miata here. 
DD to replace my '96 Bronco
AAAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKK
Anything to replace a bronco as a DD unless its 4wd and your day job is a forest ranger on the side of a snowy mountain.
MRS is way better than most other options!!
Hey Rev Dex....
might you want a spare 1ZZ, or 2ZZ... or even BOTH
send me an email... Loynings is getting rid of some attic inventory, and I'm giving them a hand doing it 
Congratulations on the purchase. They are wonderful drivers.
With an '03, you shouldn't have to worry much about the precats disintegrating. There are a few reports of failures, but nothing like in the pre-'03 cars.

Urm... mebbe. How long is this deal valid for? I need to decide what I'm doing with my foxbody.
Didnt someone else on here just buy one with a bad motor?
I had to do some digging but I just knew I'd seen the MR-S featured recently in a mag. Yep GRM November 2012 issue. Lots of good info.

Awesome, thank you! I remembered one recently, but I scanned the spines on my back issues and didn't see it.
Congrats, Rev! I love the way those cars handle, not at all tail happy like the 2nd gen was. Last time I drove one, I told the owner that it was the best handling stock car I'd ever driven.

They are clearing their attic... it'll be there till someone buys....
I'll check again... but I'm pretty sure a complete head, or complete block is $300 ish (need to verify), and buying a "whole" engine might be a little less.
Small update:
Dear god this car is fun to drive. It's been a while since I've had something that has me anticipating my commute and finding long ways home.
Just wish Koni made more than just yellows for these things. I'd like to get some decent struts that didn't cost $700.
[enabling voice]Just think of it as an excuse to buy the yellows and not cheap out.[/enabling voice]
