How much of the shampoo stuff do you put in the bottle on the lance?Do you just fill the bottle up and crack on?

 

I put an inch of snowfoam in a 1L bottle then fill rest with warm water.

 

So where do u get the snow foam from mate.

 

I get mine from Autobrite... It's roughly a tenner delivered to the door with discount from off the RSOC.

 

 

Is your car still standard mate?? ...if so, how did it get on against the Honda S2000 from X mph to Y mph??


Cheers,
Grant

 

 

Ye still standard its been mapped at the end of feb, hoping for around 300-310bhp

it left the s2000 pretty easy from a 2nd gear pull i prob pulled around 10-15 cars on him up to 130/140mph ( this was on some track near me ) on the corners i had to wait for them also had ago with a f1 megane that was the same in a line alot closer on the corners though, i think it will be a quick little thing once its had a few bits done to it

s2000 owner said " fuck i didn't know they were so quick "

 

That's impressively quick as standard then, it's been a while since I've been out in anything quick and my mate took me out in his '06 S2K the other night which I thought was pretty quick.

The only real downside to the MPS as I see it, is the fact its high tax. What's it like on other running costs? MPG? Insurance compared to your EP3? I like the understated looks and tuning potential.


Cheers,
Grant

 

insurance is £50 cheaper a year, mpg normal driving im seeing 27/28mpg on a run i get 37mpg drives like last night about 18-22mpg tax is a bitch but as its only once a year its not to much of a problem

love them or hate them looks i love them and not to many people actually know what they go like which is always a surprise and good to have

 

I gave this a little tickle round a few nice bends and was impressed with it`s handling plus the way it delivered the power right on cue..Imo a very under estimated car in standard form.

 

fuck offfff

 

that was mild for that road mate...

 

Well when I'm next looking for a car then it might find itself onto the list, I've got a couple of dogs and the hatchback practicality thing is something which I'm going to need. Had thought about an Impreza Wagon with a few go-faster bits, but driven normally it'd do about 15-18mpg!! ...what are these like for reliability once you tune them up? Transmission ok for c350bhp? Engine internals? Any good UK Owners Clubs? ...can't think of any other questions, so I'll probably leave it there buddy.

Yea certainly sounds like it mate, will be giving one of these a wee shot when the time comes to get back out on the road me thinks.


Cheers,
Grant

 

I'd deffo consider one Grant.

 

Im still new to the mazda tuning, but from what ive seen and read on the owners club you dont need to change the internals till 400-450bhp, the fuel pump needs to be changed at 350bhp, ive not heard or seen of any drama with the transmission but people in the uk are only running 400bhp max

300-320bhp seems quie easy and cheap to get so thats first stop see whats it like then need to keep it sensible cause its my daily to

 

cant decide on window tints whats peoples thoughts? cant find a picture of a 3 with them but got this one of a 6 with them

 

I like tints but only on the back.I'll be getting tints done on my ST but only on the back due to the little one being sat there. Will also get the fronts clear filmed so they don't shatter if some one decides to have a pop at them.

Top shout! lol

 

Quality Lol..

 

Great work matey
