Hey all, my names Noel, joined a few weeks ago after deciding to sell my Seat Leon and buy a Mazda 3 MPS. Im from Northern Ireland and there arent too many MPS's over here never mind any for sale. I decided i preferred the Mk2 over the Mk1 so i found the one i wanted and made the trip to Edinburgh last week to collect it! I only have one pic so far but there will be plenty more to come!



Its a 2010 3 MPS with only 16k miles on the clock with all the toys:
Sat Nav
Parking sensors
Heated Seats
Bose audio
Auto xenon headlights
Auto Wipers etc

I have some plans for it, none of which will begin until the new year when i have some cash saved but most likely some of the following:
Coilover suspension
Change of alloys (staying with 18's)
Forge/HKS induction kit
Forge BOV
Turbo back exhaust system
Re-map

C&C all welcome and looking forward to updating you with the progress!

Noel

Cheers guys, still getting used to the more frequent trips to the petrol station but loving every minute of it!

Stay away from 95 !
Any questions and pretty much all will be answered the same day, that's why I love it here.

The MPS will be getting a well deserved clean on saturday! including clayed, de-tarred, polished, sealed, glazed and waxed! Cant wait to get stuck in and get the black looking like it should!

Also decided on my first few mods which will hopefully begin come pay day next week!
Gutted downpipe (member on local forum RMS selling)
Corsksport SRI & TIP
Forge recirc valve
Jetex cat back exhaust

Im also dying to get it lower and ideally would love coilovers but the prices are just so high. Anyone reccommend any decent cheapish coilovers? Failing that im most likely going to go for a set of Eibach sportlines or possibly a shortened shock/spring setup, anyone done this?

The BC coil overs are considered the best I think on here, but are around the £1,000 mark I believe.

Yes anywhere i have looked the BC's seem to be best but thats £1000 id rather not spend on suspension alone if i could help it lol! German ebay seem to have quite a wide variety of cheaper coilover kits, anyone bought anything of there before?

Tried to remove my front number plate at the weekend but it seems the holder is rivetted to the front bumper! Anyone reccommend te best and safest way to take this off?

Welcome mate

I've only got an intake and turbosmart bpv on my mk2 so far but it sounds the dogs danglies
