MPS from Melbourne saying hi
Hey guys,
Just wanted to drop a line and say hi... Been laying low and looking around for a while, thought i'd prop up and say hi...
Some details about my ride are its an Aurora Blue MPS I have done a few subtle things to it in my time since buying it, It has a BEGI airbox with K&N Filter, the front brakes have all been replaced with DBA Rotors and Hawk Pads with Wilwood Fluid. I put a towbar on for my bike carrier, which i had modified so when its not in use you wouldn't even know its on there...
I have had a few issues though which have dampened the experience... Clunky front suspension, its been replaced under warranty but still I have had issues with it clunking... The rear swabar end link was ruined and clunking and was replaced. The steering boss came loose and has been replaced. The front CV joints have been replaced under warranty due to a rust build up on the hubs, The rear bumper support was replaced due to rust... this is a very common thing with 3's but you'd never know unless you stick your head under there or install a towbar (like i did)...
Joining so I can get to the bottom of the clunking cos either it gets fixed or it goes....
Anyway heres a few pics of my car... Some at Sandown, some at Broadford, some at a photo shoot my brother took ...

welcome to ozmps club team blu
:welcome:your mps looks like it just came off the showroom floor:2thumb: nice .
Heres my 2bobs worth hope it helps ,- broken engine rear engine mount
- exhaust knocking due to above
- i have had a clunking problem twice now, every time i went over a bumb in the road, it turned out to be rear shocker lower bolts loose after the second time they locktite,d them and the problem was solved.
- if it is a broken rear mount ,and i suspect it is,
- you need to replace it with a aftermarket mount .
- MPS GARAGE sells them, $225 dollars .They have a web site wwwmpsgarage.com.au they are a mps club sponsor
I bet the mazda people run for cover when you drive in LOL:spin:
It is no laughing matter i hope you get to the bottom of it ,a shame to have to sell such an awesome car over a minute but annoying problem.
regards Col :burnout:
Fastaz puts thinking cap back on
OK mate sorry that didn,t help, it has to be some thing that moves when u hit a bump
- it doesn,t apear to be front suspension uve had everything checked and replaced
- its not engine mounts they have been checked
- the exhaust is a likely suspect .check all the rubbers that hold exhaust to the undertray one could be broken or come off the hook
- check and tighten all bolts to the rear suspension sway bars /shocks etc also checking all bushes are ok
- if the car is still under warranty drop it back and tell them u don,t want it back untill its fixed or replaced .
turn the sound system up to 22 vol lol
im done Col :spin:
