Finally got my hands on my MPS3!

It has been a very slow 2+ months of 4X4's, Eco-boxes and the shoe-lace-express, but after 10 minutes of driving it I could tell the wait would be worth it (will do a little WRX vs MPS3 Comparision after its run-in) and that the MPS was the right choice for me

Pictures will be uploaded Sunday after clean/detailing.

Day 1; Project Memo "Keep it stock" was doomed from the beginning it has already started. Less then 3 hours of owner ship - insert K&N panel filter, Ayrton Senna and Colin McRae Decals... So I am off to a good start.

Other parts on my work station include; H&R Progressive Sport Springs, Front Lip Kit and TKO will work their magic on Tuesday.

Inital Impression; Torque... lots of it! Even though its only 150KM old and I haven't even scratched the surface of the potential it has it is obvious it's going to be a hoot to drive off the line

In ANY gear, at 2700RPM, touch the accelerator and it just pulls making it a very easy car to drive, its just so effortless to drive. Not to mention I was averaging 7.9/100KM from Melville to Maida Vale.

Also I was very surprise by the amount of attention I received when driving it home. People were rubber-necking to get looks at it! I was intending to fly under the radar in this car, but the big front scoop, 18" wheels and spoiler probs don't help.

Day 2; Took the MPS3 for a quick test along Mundaring Wier RD, 5th/6th most the way, droping to 3rd/4th for the tighter sections, not needing to take it over 3500RPM or drop to 2nd the whole trip.

I went through a few corners more spirited then others and it handled like a dream, no hints of understeer or lift-off oversteer on the fast corners or slow hairpins. It will be interesting to see how it drives through the same corners after it is run-in and I can put more power down

To be continued; Detail/Clean, Install Springs, Install Font Lip and Send to TKO Tinting.

Daniel.
