Hello everyone, My name is Steve, I'm in Glasgow, and have bought recently an MPS Mk2 from Mazda Edinburgh. I'm from a Subaru background - Imprezas, Outbacks , Legacys .. you name it I've probably had it  My last Legacy was getting long in the tooth and wanted back into something turbo'd so was looking at Saab 9-3 Aeros, Subarus of every sort , and just about everything else when this MPS popped up in Scotland . I went to see it on a whim and somehow managed to buy it!  This is my 1st diversion from Subaru that I've always had ... OMG no 4WD! lol I love it , it feels so tight and light compared with heavy old estates Great kit in it too. Just wish it hadn't been white as the neighbours already talk about me washing my car too much! Anyway , the modding urge is strong despite me swearing I wouldn't.. but will keep reading up on exhausts etc as if I had to complain it is a tad quiet. If I could get it a bit throatier all the time like when the AC is on and idling then I'd be happier. Here she is..    Cheers, Steve

Thanks again everyone .. might come along to a meet at some point.
I will 2nd decat atvsome point, tho' it's under warranty with Mazda at the mo so don't want to tempt fate lol..plus insurance is "non-modded" at the moment and don't want to add or start changing things. Good to know it can be done as only seen diagrams and it mentioned for the Mk1 .
I'm enjoying the MPS , my only grumble is lack of traction , especially in 2nd and 3rd gear. New Goodyears thrown on the front just after I bought it so that cannot be blamed . What's the best PSI to set the tyres at? Set them to 34 and still wheelspinning in 2nd and 3rd if I plant it!
PS Anyone in Glasgow ( or near) recommend a place to 2nd decat it? I am very warey of some places and only want to give my car to someone who knows what they are doing and have done an MPS Mk2 before
Steve
