Welcome man
i hope you can find a mps![]()
Hey guys,
My name's Tim and I'm 20 and from Newcastle,
I'm currently looking to buy a gen 1
3mps as my first turbo car after coming from Hondas yo.
I have to say the community seems a lot more friendly here than over on ozhonda. So I'm keen to start posting more once I get a car.
If anyone knows of any 3mps's for sale in nsw either private or ones you may have seen at a dealer let me know.
I'm looking at spending around $17000
So hopefully I can find a good one for that price.

Welcome, you should be able to find a good one for the money
WelcomePlenty of MPS's for sale at the moment, you should be able to talk people down a bit because they aren't selling too fast...
Tested any yet?
Thanks for the kind welcomes guys,
Yeah I test drove one a couple of days ago in Newcastle but it had a poor service history as well as a knocking kind of noise coming from the top of the engine (maybe the timing chain?)
So I didn't end up going with that one.
I liked how it drove though, very zippy and usable power especially compared to a Honda lol plus the interiors are very nice on them, that's one of the reasons I am looking for a mps instead of a wrx (which i first was looking for) as they have pretty poor interiors and the exterior styling is pretty ugly in my opinion.

Nice buy, when do you pick her up?
Congratulations mate. looks very clean and unmolested!
Thanks guys, yeah it's very clean and completely standard except for a GFB blow off valve.
I'm happy on the price I got it for too ($18k) seeing its insured for $28300 lol

Looks nice in the grey. Enjoy![]()
Picked up my car today, I love it
It's definitely got the whole package, speed, comfortable and style lol
Enjoy, just make sure you get everything fix in first few month under warranty.
When I test drove that car, before mine one came in. Got a report done on this one you purchase,
needs front lower control arm bushes.
Apart from that, great car.

By "not overly smooth" I mean that the car seems to hesitate slightly when coming on to boost
