Default Got a Mazda 3 MPS

Hello.

Replaced my Escos with a 3 MPS. Now i know they look a little dull but my god they do go well.

wanted to know of anyone that i can have tune it for me. Thinking exhaust, filter, and chip would make it a hoot and any opinions of the car

Just bought a mazdaspeed air intake, downpipe, sports cat, and system. They tell me you should see around 290bhp from this lot together. I doubt i will see that much but should make its sound a little better lol

I saw one of these on an old repeat of Top Gear last night....4x4 & 240odd bhp standard arent they.....Clarkson rated it anyway - well other than the nasty grill!!! LOL

How much ££ do they go for just out of interest??

Pretty sure they've got an LSD standard as well. So no suprise it puts the power down.

So what do people think is this better than the New Focus ST?

i would imagine most people would say ST all the way. But part of me likes it because it different and you probably wont see to many of them on the roads.

PS. Bought a mazdaspeed exhaust and filter for it for a bit of ST spanking lol
