Hi all,

Chris from Aberdeen here. Just picked up my velocity red mk2 3 mps yesterday and loving it so far. My last couple of cars have been a Octy mk1 vrs and a modded impreza sti. Decided a bit of change would be good so the scooby is up for sale :)

Quick question, ive got a set of team dynamics pro race's with 235 40 18 tyres on my scoob, would these be ok to fit to the mps? They are the perfect offset and pcd, just not sure on the tire width

Cheers all. It's a wee bit different to the scoob :) handling wise the scoob was better but that was on bilstein coilies and whiteline goodies. I'll probably go for the bilstein struts and eibach springs on the mps though. Power wise it's staying standard :blush: fell down that trap with the scooby

I'll try the td's on later on. It's come with hedge hunters on the front wheels, fortunately I've got 4 new 235 40 18 michelin ps2s living in my flat so hence the question

Also, definitely the fastest colour ;-)

Nope it's staying standard power :help: I said that with the scooby and ended up with 400bhp and 440ftlbs. Am planning a track car so the mazda is staying standard.... power wise anyway :D
