Hi... New Mps User here LoL

hi guys,how u doing?
This is my first MPS also my first car which has turbo engine in it :)
I was so happy when i bought this car but unfortunately the previous owner really not taking good care of it, at the first time i thought its only because looks like dirty or something like that ,even i did test drive that day the car felt alrite maybe because i cant hold my passionate want to have mps.
But its been a week now since i bought it,first gear the car always easy got stall also the feeling inside the car sound like the interior crumbling,its like every part is lose or off.The steering feels harder or heavier than my mazda3 :(

Congrats on the purchase, I'm sure with some tlc the car will come up good. Welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum, I'd recommend giving it a good service at a good mechanic hopefully all the little things will disappear!

LoL,yeah u right Rob,this Mps6 has a lot of power though.Cheers mate

Welcome mate! I see you're in Qld :) plenty of MPS6 owners floating around Brisbane if you need any help or guidance..as Rob said though the best thing you can do right now is send your new baby off to a reputable mechanic and let them do a thorough once over, at least for peace of mind if nothing else. Anyway hope to see you around sometime and enjoy MPS ownership and this brilliant forum that comes with it :D

Welcome mate.
MPS6ers are the flavor up here at the moment :thumbup:
Cheers Todd

Cheers mate!! really appreciate,no worries,plan to have it check next weekend :)

Mps is my first turbo car too :D welcome to team QLD !

Its quiet fast,isnt it?Planning to put 20'CX9 wheels but wondering is it gonna fit perfectly or still need mocking around with the wheels,anyone have any idea pls?

Haha well my choice was between s15 and mps and let's just say I made the right choice ;) man in my opinion- if you want new wheels stick with 18s for handling and save yourself money on tyres ! I have 19s and I'm feeling it: more understeer, tyres for 19s don't give as much mileage and no semi slick tyres available for 19s not sure about these problems for 20s ?

Welcome Bud. TLC cleaning will help, get some oil back into the plastics (helps with rattles and squeaks), tooth brush in and around door and hinges than regrease the hinges. Degrease the engine bay don't splash water/degreaser over TMIC or Coil packs/rocker cover and keep water away from battery as ECU is located there. Check and replace filters and ALL oils, replace spark plugs, check tyre temps... I know that's a full weekends work but you will love the results ;) :) it will feel like a new car. Every car I buy second hand I replace all oils and filters and pull my seats out they tell a story of the cars history under them, this is the one place that doesn't get cleaned ;)

I found sand under my back seat of my Gen2 LOL, so I pulled all carpit out, door trims and clean all the sand out ;). There was marks around upper side of hatch from surf boards so I hit them hard with cleaner, cant even tell now ;)

Ahh I went from a mx5, mazda3 Neo to A sp23

Theres one shii load off difference between a mazda3 and a mps6

The clutch being one, I still stall when I'm reversing (cars quiet as a mouse)
and the power ;) Although I do miss the nimbleness of the 3 compared with the mps6
That's just my 2cents

Welcome and enjoy you've got one hell of a car :)

s15=nissan??LoL.Told ya im so virgin about this.Thanks so much for ur info Sin,it gives me something to think about this 20'.Cause i did quote for springs to make it low and they said the lowest than i can do with only do the springs is about 25-30 mil.Is that look good and low enough with my origin 18'wheels on?Cheers

Cx9 20" wheels fit with no dramas on the MPS6, and with suspension mods looks good too, i still think 19" are the perfect match for the MPS6
but hard to find a nice rim in the perfect offset.
Cheers Todd

I have pen and paper ready Bud,all things that u said,wrote down already.Next weekend i booked for service at least someone who expert can check it for me and booked as well for car detailing this monday :)

Hi mate,thanks mate.Oh no so u mean Mazda3Mps still much better than 6mps yes???Yes it's easy stall,i thought 4wd much better than front wheel drive.oh no,did i do wrong choice then

After what sin said perhaps i better stick with my 18' i guess,cheers anyway mate

hi mates,sorry for confusing reply that i did Ha Ha Ha Ha,totally still virgin with this site so i should hit the "reply with quote" instead Ha Ha Ha Ha,sorry lads LoL

Yes s15= nissan silvia lol. Anyway so what you wanna do is lower it to 100mm no lower otherwise its a defect, you lose 1 point +a fine for every defect (if you get caught/pulled over at a RBT/defect station and cops checks) then you have to fix the 'defect' and take the car to the pits and that's a bitch just do mods to the point of legality...

Btw it's Sina :)

Well easy way to find out:
measure distance from ground to the car as it is now then subtract 30mm ...

MPS6 is notoriously easy to stall, you will get used to it.. at least it makes it harder to steal LMAO

Welcome to the family!

It's normal for a 6, they had an optional recall for it.
