Yeah, maybe a better way of saying it is a preliminary period. Just making sure it holds together haha, still rather not beat it with a stick until I get a few more KM on it.

It was actually kinda creeping me out......

Will let you know tomorrow morning if I have nightmares about the MPS coming to get me in my sleep.
Will be awaiting late night bed wetting thread

Cost isn't too bad. It's just finding someone in WA who will get them. I am trying to find cat-backs at the moment and they are few-and-far between.

Mao does XForce but other then that there are very few places who deal with parts for them.

Beat the hell out of it. Best run in procedure out. You think race engine builders stay off boost for more than a couple of hundred k's?

plenty of mod parts available from the US, just need to check RHD compatibility of parts

eg: 2010-2013 Mazdaspeed 3 Performance

Enjoy!

Yeah MPS Garage over east deals with lots of US companies. Also found out Racing Performance Works get some MPS parts too so it's starting to look good.

Buy not too worried about power mods just yet, more interested in handling and cosmetic mods first.

Day 5/6; 543KM by the end of day 5, so another week and hopefully I will have smashed out the first 1000KM.

Tint is finally on the car, big thanks to TKO for a great job... how people live without tint I cannot understand!

Also due to the wet weather we are experiancing the front wheels are getting a little excited even under partial throttle! Other than that I am just waiting on my Lakin Plate Bracket and trying to find time to install my springs.

Also trying to justify buying a cat-back (XForce) exhaust for it, but may have to wait for my bank account to recover a bit first

But if that's all I can complain about then I must be doing alright
