Hi guys, what's up.
The name's Kale, I'm a long time (don't hold this against me) Holden driver. I have always owned Holdens since the day I got my license. My last car was my most heavily modified, a VZ SS with just over 300kw at the wheels built to be a simple tough daily but also something that I could flog the crap out of at Powercruise each year
Anyway, now I've been converted. I've bought my first non-Holden, a brand spanking new gen 2 Mazda 3 MPS in the lovely pearl white. Even though it doesn't rip a skid quiet like the SS, I have fallen in love with it. When I sold the SS I was looking for a long time for a new car that was practical but still fun, but that's what i've found with the Mazda.
I test drove the typical competitors like the WRX, a Ralliart Lancer and even a Golf R. All very nice cars but the WRX/Ralliart just seemed a bit too boring and easy to drive with the AWD and the Golf R was just a bit to pricey and a little too small. I know this sounds weird to some, but I found the insane torque-steer in the MPS to be the selling point. It's crazy fun haha. The main selling point though was looking on a WRX owner's forum and seeing how many of them had been beaten by MPS's![]()
Anyway, I've only owned my car for a bit over a month now but already painted the wheels black and did the good old resonator delete (which seems to be a popular mod). Looking to do the intake, rest of the exhaust, better brakes and a FMIC kit before Powercruise this year. Lets see how I go.
So yeah, that's me. Cheers everyone.
