Hi all, Been searching the forum for quite some time now and have found a lot of the threads useful. Have owned my MPS for around 3 months but thought it's still worth getting a newbie thread up! It's a 2008 True Red 3 MPS Aero with 47,000 miles on the clock. Was completely standard when I picked it up. Drove all the way from Warrington to Arbroath in Scotland to get it! Nearly a 10 hour round trip but it was the only standard, low mileage true red aero for sale at the time and so was worth it.  Previous cars have been a Honda Civic Ek3, Renault Clio 182, TD04 Toyota Glanza V and then an MX5 import for some drift fun. Going from an MX5 to the MPS was a massive difference and I'm loving the extra room and boost! Since owning the car, I have given it a full service including: Millers Fully Synthetic 5W40 oil. Oil filter. Magnetic sump plug. NGK Laser Platinum spark plugs. 4x Hankook V12 Evo 2 225/40/18 all round Mods to date include: Corksport REM. GFB Respons Recirc Valve. Standard wheels resprayed Ford Graphite grey. COBB weighted gear knob. Second cat delete. Resonator delete. Mods to be done by the end of this year include HPFP, JBR Stage 2 Intake, AP V3, Cobb ETune, Triple gauge pod with ProSport gauges, tints and polybushed front ARB bushes. Loads more to come next year. Hope I can make it to a few of the NW meets aswell! Thanks for looking, Ryan.

Only niggles I have had so far is that the front knocks, especially when changing gear and there is also a knocking coming from the year. Hopefully this will be fixed after I've swapped the wishbones to new ones with new bushes £50 each. Polybushed the front ARB and changed the rear drop links. Only other thing I think the rear knock could be, might be top mounts but I'll have a play and see what I find. Couple of pops and bangs just from having the second cat and resonator deleted
