Hello everyone, New member here, I bought a Red Mazda 3 MPS MKII last weekend after doing a fair bit of research online. After being a die hard Honda fan it is an interesting change coming over from the high revving NA VTEC. That said I am loving the car so far, very fun to drive and loads of space inside! I'm going to give it a little while to get used to the car before I start looking at some understated mods focusing mainly on handling I think because while it is fun to put your foot down it sure likes to torque steer! Anyway looking forward to becoming part of the community and joining some meets soon.

Hi and welcome to The torque steer is a feature of most high power turbo hot hatches but a few choice mods (rear engine mount, better rubber etc) can help reduce it.
