Hi All, I've been chatting to 07MPS6 a bit on the OzMPSClub.com forum in...Oz and thought I join up here and drool at all the white MPS3's on the forum, by far the second best colour I've had my MPS3 GENII (MkII) for almost a year now. Love it! Done a few mods. Best performance mod so far is a new Turbo Dump Pipe and 100 cel Cat. Add's a nice tone to the otherwise stock exhaust. The dyno says it added about 12kw's or...16.02HP or 16.32PS...Not sure what you guys use over here. Other stuff: *Speedy Lite Fin II 18x7.5 Alloys on Sumitomo 235/18/40 *Hollandia 700 Sunroof *Factory Airbox mod with factory filter (a big hole in the side  ) *SMD LED's in Parker and FOG lights (I'm obsessed with lights) *Visual Garage Shark Fin Antenna *Duco Scratch Clear Protection Film *Removed front license plate holder (ok, very minor mod, but it stuck out SOO far! Had to go) Future mods (in the post soon!) *Redline Tuning Quicklift Hood Damper http://www.redlinetuning.com/qt/Redline ... Mazda3.MOVOther than that no more plans yet, although I'd like to lower it a little, but I'm already nervous as it is approaching steep driveways. Also an SRI would be great (more for the sound). Next Monday we're testing a mod (large hole) in the side of the factory airbox on a dyno. They tell me there's another 10kw's. Finger crossed. So that's that. Great to see the MPS is going strong in the UK. Some pics of my ride. Brand New (plus the 67 deluxe in the background)    Dyno Day - 163kwtw@182KPH  Visual Garage Shark Fin Antenna  Lakeside Raceway - Track Day   Speed Lite Fin II 18x7.5 Alloys   LED Parkers and Fog's (sorry not that great as a photo!)

Welcome. Lovely motor especially your new wheels.
Interested in your "whole in the side" dyno result and the change in sound.

See, I knew there were white ones here...In Oz they swap the Crystal White for Celestial Blue. Not my preference. And Black is way too hot in Brisbane, although I admit Black Mica looks great. http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak ... 2834_n.jpg

I can't believe they don't have white in Oz of all places, strange decision from Mazda
