Hi guys! I've been a member here now for a couple of months just searching through and stealing the odd bit of information! I am proud to say I can finally be a proper member as in I now own my very own mazda 6 mps! It's a 55 plate in grey and has around 60k on the clock! It's in good enough nick although there is a spot of rust on the arches and the odd carpark trolley mark or so! But all will be taking care of over time! The previous owner has done the vvt actuator and all that goes with it! He bought the parts from total mps so I am assuming all will be well with that from now on? It has a Remus cat back exhaust and an aem CAI Machine polisher was ordered and posted today so once that's here and used I shall get the pictures up! There is a slight occasional knocking but I'll make another thread for that in the appropriate section Worst issue with the car is I got it on Saturday and have been away to college in Manchester since! But will be back in the deen Friday to use up all my hard earned money on petrol! Martin

But when I started looking for my next car I said to myself. At least 200hp and rear wheel drive....if not rear then 4wd. Then that took me to test drive a 6 and that was it lol
