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 ![]() 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.

White doesn't do it justice, Red makes it look boy racer and black it black and it just a pain to live with. ![]() This is the same as mine, but this picture doesn't do the car justice. In all the pictures they look higher and less aggressive then in the flesh. Quote:
![]() Thats the general direction, maybe less low and more usable, and I don't mind the new wheels Mazda have put on the MPS so may stick the stock rims for now too.

A mate of mine has a dark silver/gunmetal coloured one. They're nice, but lack of launch grip dampens the drive for me.

Looks nice, and not overly common so that's a plus.
Front end looks like it's on acid with the giant smile |

3rd gear torque for rollons will surprise an awful lot of cars

Slammed on wheels looks fairly good.
The smile... it would slowly drive me insane though.
