Congrats on your buy, they're a fun car to drive!
Hi All,
been reading this forum a little bit over the past week whilst ive tossed and turned as to whether or not to fork out the $$$ for a MPS (and which one for that matter!!!)
this morning i went down and put an initial deposit on a blue Gen 1 08' 3MPS, take possession of it on saturday (cant wait!!!) took it for a test drive, and loved it (floored it in 2nd gear @ 40km/hr to 80km/hr and was completely unprepared for what hit me)
there seems to be a bit of a following for the arura blue MPS's
it's completely stock, and having only driven a manual corolla in "anger"(if it can be called that) it's going to take me a little bit of time to get used to the sheer flexibility of this engine.
not looking at doing any mod's to it atm, am under 25 and dont want to completely ruin my life with insurance costs =P
with work + after work commitments, not picking the car up until saturday morning, then i've got a nice long drive back from dealer's to my place (looking at ~1 hour) in both freeway and stop start traffic
so yeah, looking forward to driving my new car, NOT looking forward to all the rego and insurance BS i need to go through... ugh!

Hey dude,
congrats on your car..
I'm only 24 (just) and my 2009 MPS wasn't as bad as i thought.. it was prob $23 dollars more than my sp25. Rego is around the same price. Shop around.
welcome mate,you'll love the car and you'll never look back!
aboard
Welcome mate....where you from in NSW??

Congrats on the car!!! There are definitely some Arora Blue fans here!!!
Stock isn't all that bad, that's what I'm trying to tell myself anywaydue to lack of funds for mods at the moment. I'm in a stock Gen 2 and I think the car pretty much speaks for itself, the mods just add to the original greatness!! I haven't experienced a Gen 1 but there are a lot of owners on here that rate them and defend them quite forcefully
.
with the paperwork side of things, once that's done you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face!!!
GENII 2009 MPS VR POV PACK | TIPS THANKS TO MAZDA3MPS (IAN) | KUMHO KU36 235/40/18 TYRES | PRIMA PAINT PROTECTION BY ZAS | LAKIN CUSTOM PLATES | MPS & OZMPSCLUB.COM BRUSHED ALUMINIUM DECALS (THEY COUNT AS MODS RIGHT?)| WISHLIST...60 DURO REAR ENGINE MOUNT | RIMS PAINTED/GT RIMS
maybe once i get used to (bored of?) the power of the car (and funds permitting) i'll modify it, but in no rush to do anything to it right now, i like my sleeper cars, and hate the cabin noise that often comes with modifications
yeah, RTA, insurance, e-tag... bleh! hate it all...
looking forward to just being able to drive my car, and not worry about all that...
updated OP with pics
picked it up this morning, unfortunately the drive back took 1.5 hours, for 40km.... so didnt really get to enjoy my car....
tomorrow am planning on giving it a bit of a drive =)
not looking at doing any mod's to it atm, am under 25 and dont want to completely ruin my life with insurance costs =P
