Hi everyone, Had no idea this site existed until yesterday. I have a 6MPS in t*t grey since 2006. Had the snatchy clutch replaced and that's it. Very few 6MPS in the UK. Sales flop but used prices are quite high at the moment. A lot of people have tumbled to what it is at last. Trouble is, so has the criminal fraternity.
:welcome: foxy, another 6 MPS owner :woot:
Tell us more about the criminal attraction? Over here I don't think our crims even know what an MPS is :D
Got any pics, done any mods etc etc
Enjoy the forums!
Yes, a guy with a 6MPS about 20 miles away was, he suspects, "stalked" home. A couple of days later, his house was broken into and the keys + car taken. Found by the police a couple of days later somewhat wrecked. It had been used in a robbery.
I am now mindful about being followed home. If it happened to me I would not go home but just go to some public place and park up.
Haven't done any mods except a K&N panel but are looking to get better tyres than my Toyos. My view is that the 6MPS needs help with understeer and feedback so I tyre with less squidgy sidewalls would help. The performance is fine for me.
Welcome foxy, glad to see you found your way over here, be keen to see some pics of your car ... u must have some awesome snow background shots. Have u driven it on snow ?
The 6 MPS is such a sexy car, the more the merrier, welcome to the club :D
:welcome:Foxy to the forum,how did you find out about ozmps.com.au???
Howdy foxy, good to see you found your way over. How's the diff whine going, still the same?
:welcome: Nice to see you here hope you enjoy :D
:welcome:TO OZMPS CLUB you can chech out but never leave .Col :spin: recommend 18x8"rims + 245x18 Yokahama advan S DRIVE tyres brilliant wet or dry no tramlining or road noise ,but make sure they are definitely S DRIVE on the tyre walls other advans are not as good by a long shot .COL.
Welcome aboard Foxy....:wave:
Foxy man I'm afraid chaps. In fact I have never heard of female 6MPS driver, has anyone?
We don't get much snow where I live but, when we do, it has no problems getting up my suburban hill. You can feel the AWD moving the power around for grip.
The diff whine I believe is rear drive resonance that varies in volume according to tyres/road surface/ diff oil etc and doesn't get worse with age. If it was a fault with the diff you would get it all the time and it would rise in pitch with speed.
Thanks for the tyre advice, but I want to stay on the stock rims

hi and welcome to the forum
Welcome...i like your nickname :D
Liverpool mate. You were lucky to see one 6MPS. On Merseyside/Cheshire you are far more likely to see a Bentley Continental of Jaguar E Type than a 6MPS. Love that about it. The Takara is a special edition 3 or 6. The basic ones are called TS, TS2Quote:
