Hello! New Mk2 MPS owner here.. bought one last night. I'm pleased with my buy..

I have to admit I joined the site on Wed Jan 12, 2011 and lurked on and off ever since.. :chin:

The seller had not had the car for too long, but to be fair to him, it was in decent condition. The previous keeper to him was traced on here :-)- the car is in this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=35&t=16727&p=266550#p266550

Sent him a quick message.. appears the Eibach springs are still on the car, and possibly a short shifter.. The seller I bought the car from was unaware. Car has also had a cat / resonator removed..a tad loud on start up- could do with addressing the noise ( in due course)

I'm no stranger to hatches / quickish cars

Previous cars:

Clio 1.8 16v
Clio Williams 3
VX220
Audi TT
1.9CDTI Astra
2010 Seat Leon Cupra stage 2.

been a member of many forums associated to the cars above.

MPS is currently in standard tune, and feels tame compared to my Cupra, which is to be expected. Plans- nothing major.. I'll settle for 320 bhp, and leave it at that. Will spend some time reading up on pathways to achieve 320bhp..

Finally, I have to admit that I'm impressed with the spec of the car, particularly the interior etc love the ambient blue glow, the stereo plus other standard MK2 3 MPS features.
