Hi all, my name's Frank (or Fronk, a nickname I picked up a while back in Inverness - try to pronounce Frank with an Inverness accent...) and I am the very proud owner of a 56 plate Titanium Grey 6 MPS. I just got it on New Years Eve - had to drive all the way down to Stockport (from Motherwell, just outside Glasgow) to get it and I am so glad I did! It's an awesome machine and I had a constant grin on my face for the 3 hour journey back home!

I had had a Toyota Corolla for over 4 years and was very reluctant to get rid of it as it was a lovely wee car. But, I just knew I had to get something better when we got pounded with snow and the Toyota was effing useless...I wanted something with 4wd, a bit of power and classy looks! Now, please don't laugh, but the very 1st thing I (thought) I wanted was an Impreza - 4wd, performance, looks, all that crap, until I saw inside one and realised that the interior design must had been subcontracted to a playgroup and put together by nursery school children. Apologies if you used to own a scooby, however, I'm sure you can back me up about the "interior styling"... I also did a quick check on Insurance and almost poo'd my pants when I saw how much it was... That was the end of the Impreza idea, which was a shame because I had always wanted one ever since I played Gran Turismo on PS1...fond memories!

I could go on but I don't want to bore you guy so I just thought I'd introduce myself and say hello to all my now fellow MPS owners, 3's and 6's alike!

Thanks for reading!

Hello and you won't be disapointed with the 6 in the snowy conditions, but be warned the ABS is a bit too keen

Thanks for the suggestion daviemps, although, the only one thing I would complain about - and it's not really a complaint because it's not even the car's fault - is the ride comfort. It already feels like quite a hard, sporty setup so I thought springs might make it even worse! Is that not the case?

Yeah they do firm up the ride, I don't find it too bad though, still handles the bumps with comfort, each to there own though are you thinking performance mods ?

Yeah, I was thinking about performance mods to begin with but just small ones. I always thought the first thing I should be thinking about is a replacement to the standard air box. Isn't it pretty much always the case that the air box is overly restrictive?

Hmm, it says I'm not authorised to read that forum, that's a bit weird...

Anyway, what's the recommendations for the best intake for the 6 mps...anyone?

Go on to the board index and go down to the for sale section mate
I like my Corksport setup because that is what I have but other people will have different veiws, with the corksport setup you get more for your money and it works well
