Good evening. Thought id join up as i may be getting a 3 mps very shortly so wanted some info. Sold my hawkeye sti last year as our baby was due and bought a seat alrea fr, but im missing the jap scene and have been offered a straight swap from a dealer. Its an08 mps3 aero but has rx8 alloys fitted. Any thing i should look out for? Thanks in advance mike

Hi and welcome You are just looking for all the normal things when looking at these. Alloys tend to corrode (even the rx8 ones) so worth a check and then servicing etc. Good luck with the hunt
