Thought i'd post up and say Hello  Unfortunately my Leon Cupra K1 was sacraficed to Car Heaven Last Week :( I had to be cut out of the car after being hit from behind whilst being stationary :( So unfortunately the K1 has gone... Had remap, ITG Intake and Miltek Exhaust and running 300bhp I am now on the look-out for a replacement and dont like Ford ST's, Astra VXR's or want to get another K1 and then someone mentioned about the Mazda 3 MPS To be honest i prefer the 2010 (mk2?) looks of the 3 MPS. Would like to have similar options as the K1 had, Sat Nav, Bluetooth etc. Are there some options available to get similar mods that i had before onto the 2010 3 MPS? If yes, what sort of BHP would i be looking at getting? Also are there any tuning companies down South for the MPS? Is there anything i should be wary off when buying one of these cars? Thanks

Same mods would net very similar power in an MPS It's not difficult to hit 300bhpwith an induction kit and an uprated intercooler with a remap. Maybe a decat aswell. Most exhaust mods will make bugger all difference unless you do a full turbo-back though Short answer: just buy an MPS! They're great cars and they're exlusive

I love the ford Focus RS in white. Dont know much about them though. The 3MPS is a great car if you sort out the niggly bits. 0-60 in under 6 secs easy once you learn how to drive it.

Hello and  glad you seem ok after the crash, sounds nasty. The mk1 is easier to get 300 out of than the mk 2 as the ecu map on the mk2 seems harder to tune up . Not sure if we have any mk2 members running over 300? Good luck with the hunt.

Thanks for the replies guys I think i will be leaving the car standard for a little while.. Just so that i can get used to it. As i left my K1 standard for a while then upgraded That way i get to enjoy the upgrades when they come round And hopefully more tuning options will be available for the Mk2 Now got to try and find the right car... Did find 1 straight away but unfortunately it had already been sold. The search continues ......

MKII's are cheaper on the R/T than MKI's. I would go for the mods straight away then you will get the best value for money. Oops, just noticed. You want one still in Mazda warranty. Maybe a MKI late 2008 cos you will save about £4K and you can mod away. Best of luck.

to the club. Good luck with your search. There's a chap in the Newcastle area running around 340bhp, can't remember his name but I'm sure someone will. An induction kit is a must (Corksport/ K&N Typhoon/Injen CAI) , they sound superb and raise an easy 20/25 bhp. Standard tyres aren't great so think about swapping for some better rubber. And they take super unleaded, the dealer won't mention that ! Most on here run V-Power or Momentum.
