Hi Guys First of all, would like to say thanks for the forum!! Proved a massive help with buying my first MPS Comming from years of the NA route, forced induction was a pretty scarey prospect to own on a day to day basis (you could drive the NA hard with little fear of it breaking) but i am glad i went this way!! I was looking for something a bit more grown up after my MK1 CRX was written off. I was looking at the normal ST/VXR/Scooby root untill my friend suggested a 3MPS. I always like subtle and my CRX was modified but not in a chav/boy racer way. So after a few test drives of MPS's i was hooked, i was trying to find 58 or later White one.... i soon learned that cash in my pocket and need for a car (work travel) meant i needed to not be picky about colour. Anyways, this Saturday i picked my mint 58 plate Black 3MPS up with 32k miles and 2 month warranty left (at a amazing price!!) The car is amazing, drives tight, engine nice and smooth and just had wheels replaced under warranty (4 new Pirelli Pzero Rosso's on too!) Not going crazy on this one modifications wise (dont we all say that at the start) but i do need a bit of noise in my life, so a few bits may be on order in the next few weeks  Many thanks Simon

I defineatly recommend getting an induction kit! Releases a few horses and sounds like an f16.
