LukeSR Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Finally got a new car after I sold the T-Sport and been driving around in the Civic! It's a 2007 Mazda 3 MPS, with 38K on the clock Picked it up Tuesday from London so had a nice drive back, so nice to have torque and a turbo! Got no proper photo's yet as I haven't cleaned it yet.. Got quiet a few plans for it as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks great! Thanks Amjad Proper wolf in sheeps clothing.Been seriously looking at these for my next car.How much did you give for that one out of interest?

I picked this up for 5 and a half! very nice bud! never been in one of these but always heard good things! dont see too many of them about over here sadly. keep us posted on your progress!! Phil.

Addymk2 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I've been looking at these, what's the mpg like on a motorway cruise? Boring question I know but what the hey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldoz Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I adore these cars. I like the 2010 facelift version with the meaner front, and bonnet scoop! I almost got the same shape as this before my nissan! They do shift alright! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayJ Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 260hp/1483kg doing 0-100km/h in 6.1sec, a nice fast hatch. I would like to have 4wd version Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 I've been looking at these, what's the mpg like on a motorway cruise? Boring question I know but what the hey Will do 35 to the gallon cruising at 80 on the motorway surprisingly! I adore these cars. I like the 2010 facelift version with the meaner front, and bonnet scoop! I almost got the same shape as this before my nissan! They do shift alright! Yeah I like the MK2 but just a bit pricey for me, I'd buy an Evo for that cash! 260hp/1483kg doing 0-100km/h in 6.1sec, a nice fast hatch. I would like to have 4wd version Aye it sure does shift, the Mazda 6 is 4WD, I like them too! Washed and waxed it over the weekend, love black when its clean lol! Got some of this for a nice deep glossy shine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calum122 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Wow okay this surprises me. I like nice, aggressive, OEM, body kit. But would I be so shocked to hear this thing is quick if it has body kit.... The fact that this has no body kit gives it a real good effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 No arch gap but looks like a 4x4 in that last photo. Need coilovers or just the angle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Just the angle bud, struggle to get a jack underneath Quote Link to post Share on other sites
