Not so happy now brakes all on fitted but after a lamba failed iv also found turbo seals going

Going for k06 bullet hy turbo instead and upgraded intercooler then another remap lad hoping to pull about 350 - 400 bhp but to cost off over 1500 it better be fun lol

Car's looking amazing! The MPS is one that I've been tempted by for years now but I always worry that they'll rust too quickly. No idea if that's actually an issue with them though. Although being Mazda you'd think so?

Where's the intercooler on these things? Is it the newer ones that have a bonnet scoop? Love the bonnet scoop look!

That looks mint Andy! Shame about the Turbo bill though, but at least you know its all sorted and going to last now.

Apple Candy looks different so I like it, Orange would have been a win to especially when parked up next to the 323F ;)

Whats next for the MPS?

Been bk to power flow for upgrading exhaust to twins (always had twins ) been quoted 300 to 400 for that with another box out too ,so get that done soon

Not too bad to run 26to 29 mpg no playing with it unless it drinks like hell

£65 to fill tank 200 miles on full tank

Insurance cheaper than the bj

Tax £42 mouth

Then service every 5k


Everyone needs a toy but bj still more fun drive :cry:
