Just thought i'd join up and say hello. I'm a 33yr old guy from central scotland and currantly drive an Evo 8 fq280 with a load of mods. Its running 350bhp with 366lbft at the moment so its pretty quick. I'm now on the look out for a nice mazda 3 MPS so anyone up for a swap or wanting to buy mine so I can get one give me a shout lol. Anyways that it for now. Take it easy. Alex

Another member from Scotland!  Out of interest, why the change from an Evo to a 3MPS?

Are you the same big eck that is on type-r-scotland by any chance.
If so does your mate still have his mps and is he a member on here.
And welcome.

Xorro - I always fancied one and was lookin 2 years ago but they were a bit to pricey back then and I bought a mapped LCR which I loved. There very well priced now and imo a bit of a bargin and nows the time to get one. Dont get me wrong the Evo is an animal out on the road and not a lot of cars can touch it but the running costs are sooooo high with the servicing and parts if something goes wrong. I imagine the MPS is about the same petrol consumption wise but if I can save a fair bit everywhere else then thats a plus.
MPSchris - I am that very guy, yea he still has his, he very rarely uses it actually. I'm not sure if hes a member mate.
