I am looking forward to more posts dolf.  ......................... Me too, a mpsoc legend in the making lol You certainly know how to make somebody feel welcome...thanks guys... I was just filling in my profile and you won't be surprised to learn that after completing the box that said interests and pressing 'submit'...it then told me I'd written too much....booo!...so as not to waste the last 15 mins of my life I make no apologies for basically cut stick and glueing my interests below... Has anybody seen the Zeperfs website?...my favourite...soon to be pushed down into second favourite obviously...website...hmm. interests.... Films...top 20 of all time reads like this: 20) The Fugitive 19) John Carpenter's, The Thing 18) An American Werewolf in Londres 17) Shawshank Redemption 16) Predator 15) Weird Science 14) Pinocchio 13) James Bond - The Spy Who Loved Me 12) National Lampoon's American Vacation 11) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (original) 10) Groundhog Day 9) Star Wars Episode VI - A New Hope 8) Aliens 7) Jason and the Argonauts 6) Raiders of the Lost Ark 5) Robocop 4) Lord of The Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring 3) JAWS 2) Terminator 2 - Judgement Day 1) Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back I went for a lot of nostalgic films there and realise there are many others that would have made it if it were just based on critique alone. I enjoy football...not so much playing as I haven't played for a while...kind of lost the passion for it recently...was well gutted when we didn't get the World Cup in 2018 - especially as I'd done a bit of speculative purchasing of a registration which is W18 CUP...I know tell me about it!!...those old farts at FIFA are as bent as a shepherd's crook!...still if anyone is interested in the reg...get in touch...maybe you have Russian relatives...hmm...or perhaps your girlfriend is called Babushka.... I also parted with my hard earned money to acquire another reg WD10 CUP (a few months before the tournament kicked off in Sud Afrique)...figured if we won it then I'd be retiring to a condo in Clearwater smoking cuban cigars (that had been rolled on the thighs of a virgin) before my next birthday...so bad luck strikes again!!...I mean my Sunday league team from circa 1996 could have strung together more passes than our lads... I enjoy colder rather than warmer climes...had a really bad case of sunburn after spending a whole day at Typhoon Lagoon and couldn't lie down on my back-half for around 72 hours....water resistant sun cream my back passage!! Enjoy Italian food and chinese is not far behind... My favourite cars of all time: Lotus Esprit - like many young lads growing up watching James Bond driving the famous S1 in SWLM - amazing to think that my MPS would eat it alive in a drag race....and that goes for the Porsche 928 in Risky Business...well there wouldn't be much in that one I grant you... Aston Martin Vantage...which I saw unveiled at the Birmingham Motor Show way back...I must have been around 13 or 14 so we're probably talking 1990/91...I got separated from my big brother that day and ended up on the lost children stand like a reet walter the softy...with none other than Rolf 'don't touch my didgeridoo' Harris...he wasn't lost but had been paid to entertain kids whilst they remained emphatically lost. I prefer a woman with an ample chest...not massive....sorry, I think I've got carried away a bit... Oh and my Mazdy of course!!!! Seriously, if anybody is interested in either of the registrations...give me a shout...tee hee

jamier27 wrote: Dolf as far as I know turbopacs stage 2 I think is for cas with exhaust and breathing mods to gain that extra 20bhp. I was booked in to Turbo pacs in November but was advised not to go there by various mazda3 forum members but that's something you would haveto read up on and decide for yourself.
I have a few mods on my car and is is XO Power tuning at the moment awaiting some carillo forged rods to arrive. So it should be ok for some nice power over the next few months.
With a map and basic mods mpg will no doubt decrease but it will be hardly noticeable, only when u fit bigger turbos injectors etc is when you notice a noticeable drop in mpg iirc.
(wish my English was as entertaining to read as yours ) Cheers for that Jamie...what was the consensus of the peeps who warned you away from Turbo Pacs?...I'm new to the concept of modifying a motor but basically my 'big plan' is to increase power without jeopardising the car's diminutive (comparatively) look. How many Mazda 3MPS Mk 1's are there knocking around these (Blighty's) shores?...does anybody know?...just curious. The windows haven't given me any jip for a bit so I'm just gonna monitor the siduation and refer to the manual if it happens again. Think I may have carried out a sacrilegious act today on my way home from work...I overtook a 6MPS on the dual carriageway at speed and although I enjoyed the exhilarating feel of the car's forward trajectory at the time, it felt somewhat wrong seconds later, akin to turning my own brother in to the fuzz or seeing my girlfriend's cats making out...I shall never let it happen again...tee hee Just read the chat about these winter tyres versus Snow Socks versus 'leave your car on the drive'...fortunately the snow in my neck of the woods was only a light spattering which has only made for a bit of slippage on very minor thoroughfares. However, not enough for me to have to consider new footwear for the Mazdy thankfully. I take it the 6MPS will take to the tundra conditions like (frozen) water off a duck's back...that was one of my 'must haves' for my next motor...4wd/Awd... but that kinda went out of the window (no pun intended)...oh well, never mind...
