Hi All
I registered back in September last year, but only recently started using the forum!
I have a Black 2009 Mazda 3 MPS Luxury (BL)
Been posting a few threads here and there and have had a wonderful response, so thank to all that have
I recently thought that this forum deserved a donation; so i did!!:pinkie:
Plenty of great information here and I hope to share my experiences with my Car
I bought my vehicle in April 2010 from Garry & Warren Smith Mazda in Mulgrave VIC as an ex-Mazda owned vehicle
I used to work for Manhiem Auctions, so pretty much knew the history of the vehicle and how much the dealer purchased it for! :p
I always wanted a BK MPS ever since they came out and when the insurance company told me my 99 Nissan Pulsar SS (N15II) was a write-off, my upgrade was in my sights. I searched for the BK model but most had about 40-50K kms on them and I ended up paying about $5700 extra for a BL Luxury with 9k on the dial. So I was happy:cheesy:
I went with black as my last car was silver, but after seeing a few silver MPS' on the road, I must admit it is a great colour. I also am pretty impressed with the VR's and the CB's and what some have done to them to make them look awesome. Black is pretty hard to maintain and not get any scratches, but I'm satisfied with the colour and looks great when cleaned and waxed
I am looking at doing the following mods and have been in touch with Chris @ Tunehouse; who has been really great with the info
Turbo - Back Exhaust
CAI or SRI (Whoosh!)
Sway Bars (front and rear)
Lowered Springs (or coilovers, really depends on $$)
ECUtek
Paint my Rims (1 shade tougher than gun metal grey!)
Audio (remove the BOSE)
I hope to hear from you all on and in the forum!
