Hi all. Have just purchased a Sunlight silver Aero 3 MPS. Car is a 2 owner car (78000 miles) with full Mazda service history, & seems a really nice straight car (will get some pictures up when i figure out how to on here) The car was completely stock when i brought it.. over the weekend i have had fitted light privacy glass all round & a Turbosmart recurc valve.. I have had quite a few performance jap cars now RX7, Subaru STI, Evo IX etc With my partner now due to give birth to our first child i have decided to by the MPS as my toy to play around with. I have brought the Versatune software today & also orderd a 3" decat downpipe (removes both cats) & plan to get a Autotech fuel pump, intake & TIP ordered. I have read quite alot about the versatune software on here.. but im still a tad worried about using it. Can anyone recommend anyone to help me out if i get stuck? Many thanks & look forward to posting my progress with the MPS on here. Sam.

Welcome, you chose the best (and fastest) colour ;) Have a read around to learn, and remember HPFP and then Downpipe :P. Versatuner is awesome, Justin is brilliant at what he does as well and generally a very nice guy!

Welcome mate. Really is something in the water around here. I'm the other newbie with a newborn baby. I'm just off the A45, the Coventry side of Birmingham, by B'ham airport with a red 6 with black wheels. We should get a Midlands meet arranged.
