well im thinking of making the leap from V. hot hatchback to hot saloon so im looking at the 6 mps.. im currently running a 250hp starlet glanza V and what a hoot it is to drive, not to mention the fun embarrassing many a scooby and evo owner ;), but my littlelun is coming up to one now its its getting bit of a pain getting him in and out when i want to take my car when we go out as a family, not to mention not being able to fit a pram in!!! i've been thinking about scoobys, evos, A4's etc but i keep finding myself looking at the 6 mps all the time. its only a second car for us so its more of a toy for me but i want something i can 'play' with  ... thought i'd sign up here and chuck a few noob questions out there; oh there will be amny more as well lol is there a decent buying guide about? are the 6 mps' available in white? (really fancying a white car next) is the an engine tuning guide? think thats it for now leeroy heres a pic thats floating my boat atm.... even though totally impractical

Hello and  Not available in white - only in the states and oz... Check out Rogwicks white mps, it's amazing  viewtopic.php?f=86&t=3769&hilit=Pearl+whiteDo a bit more research regarding buying advice, also regarding engine - what power figures were you thinking of? You can reach 300ish 'easily' enough but for more you need to spend a few ££'s

You have come to the right place for general advice. It is just a question of reading up on the various threads about buying and tuning.
