Hi all.

Have just purchased a Sunlight silver Aero 3 MPS.
Car is a 2 owner car (78000 miles) with full Mazda service history, & seems a really nice straight car (will get some pictures up when i figure out how to on here)

The car was completely stock when i brought it.. over the weekend i have had fitted light privacy glass all round & a Turbosmart recurc valve..

I have had quite a few performance jap cars now RX7, Subaru STI, Evo IX etc

With my partner now due to give birth to our first child i have decided to by the MPS as my toy to play around with.

I have brought the Versatune software today & also orderd a 3" decat downpipe (removes both cats)

& plan to get a Autotech fuel pump, intake & TIP ordered.


I have read quite alot about the versatune software on here.. but im still a tad worried about using it.

Can anyone recommend anyone to help me out if i get stuck?


Many thanks & look forward to posting my progress with the MPS on here.

Sam.

I think there must have been something in the water in the midlands nine months ago.
Your the second newbie in a week from there, due a baby soon. :thumbs:

Welcome, you chose the best (and fastest) colour ;)

Have a read around to learn, and remember HPFP and then Downpipe :P.

Versatuner is awesome, Justin is brilliant at what he does as well and generally a very nice guy! :)

Mine is true red with black wheels mate, can't miss it! :thumbs:

Fancy coming to the Thurrock meet in June? I'll be driving down so we can get a little convoy going! :horns:

Welcome mate.
Really is something in the water around here. I'm the other newbie with a newborn baby.
I'm just off the A45, the Coventry side of Birmingham, by B'ham airport with a red 6 with black wheels. We should get a Midlands meet arranged.
