Hello, Well here I am, new to Mazda but not new to the car scene. I have just got my hands on a black Mazda 3 MPS with 55k on the clock and I love it!! Savage power delivery and great road stance. Not looking at doing much to it, just ordered a Forge Motorsport Recirc Valve in black. Might get a cold air intake as well, will see how things go. A little bit about me, I have been into cars for well over 13yrs, modding them for the last 7 or so. Been with a car forum called BritishMods and FocusOwners under the same name as here. Been driving Fords for wayyyyy tooo long and now moved over to Mazda and very happy with the MPS. I'm in the Armed Forces and have been for 15yrs, for the last 10yrs I have been involved with UAVs(all you gaming geeks out there will know what they are) When I get the time I jump on the xBox and play Battlefield, but with a 15week old boy that's not as often as I would like and normally late at night. I'm also old(ish) and the ripe old age of 36. Based in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Pictures to follow as it needs a paint correction detail as the last owner/s thought it would be cleaver to just go through a car wash!!! Well that's me for now. :-) Jim

Thanks all for welcomes. I have no plans on spending 2k on the car, at most £500 for a BOV and cold air intake. It's savage for me as I have been use to a NA 190 bhp and 4x4 WRX. LoL
As for my intro, nothing worse than rocking up and saying Hi with no back ground!
