How reliable are the BK MPS 3's?

[pHiLix]

Some of you may know that I just bought an 07 BK MPS 3. This is my first turboed car, I've wanted something turbo for some time now. I was set on a jap spec S15 a while ago but changed my mind because I doubted it's reliability, I didn't want to spend money fixing the damn thing every 2 months when something went wrong.

Now getting to the point, how reliable REALLY are the BK MPS 3's? I just had a look in the "MPS problems warranty fixes" thread and there are quite a lot of problems mentioned there. I chose the MPS 3 because it's a late model car with low k's and you would think something like this will be reliable for the years to come.

What are your opinions about this fellow MPS 3 owners?

With the sheer number of them, I'd say reliable. Of course, anything mechanical is prone to break. Some times modifications can increase that risk.

No matter which brand of vehicle, you will always have problems tho - some more than others.

Remember its also the first time this car was made... so there are bound to be problems.

All I can say is drive it like you own it and not when you've hired it. You can have fun with it without breaking it..

You can be unlucky with any car.

I've only had to replace the rear engine mount (which started the modding process for me) and the water pump and my car has basic mods
