Everyone is being helpful and nice already. So not used to this coming from Honda forums. haha.
Thanks for this. This is the answer I was looking for :) - Looking to do this car on a budget, oppose to the Integra. But I will ask detailed questions about intake and all. First mod will be Defi's, then intake of some sort, then a nice quiet street exhaust, followed by some Mazdaspeed springs. That's all I have planned for it, and that's pretty much as far as I want to go with this car. I just want to enjoy it and actually Drive it! I never got to drive the Integra really.
Thanks for the suggestion :D
hehehe definately not converted from VTEC to turbo. I'll always be a Honda fan boi. We have 4 in the family, and we've owned Honda's since I was a kid, i've worked at Honda, and just love them. I still consider turbo cheating and I will definately be back to a NA screamer one day for track work, but the MPS will make a beautiful daily driver. The thing I like bout the MPS, is that there is hardly any lag, and it's a beautiful car. My sister had a mazda 6 a few years ago, and I drove it alot - managed to blow the engine after 20,000 km's which was annoying. I've heard the MPS motor is pretty damn strong though :) I can't wait to own one!! This whole selling Integra thing is taking way too long.
Awesome thanks. So it's just interior differences. I heard that the earlier ones had engine mount issues? Is this true, or was this just a bad batch that was recalled?
Also, Sunroof's... Was this a dealer option?

Many myths out there spoken to many 06/07 made cars and have had no issues there was a lot of talk about turbos smoking but very few,and the sunroof was an option I did tick the box but because I requested exhaust and chipped it ws going to take 2 weeks all up so I can the sunroof...
Sunroof was a DEALER option not FACTORY.
So basically it was 'aftermarket' - warranty would be from the dealer not Mazda.
Thanks again!
Would love a Sunroof. I might just get one put in.
Yep, the one i'm thinking of. Porn.
How much are you looking to spend on a MPS?
Mine is for sale and already has most of the tasty bits on it...

welcome to the mazda world ricki. hope u enjoy
Hey Ricki,
Welcome to forum! Like yourself, I left the Honda Clan and joined the MPS. I loved driving and missed my Honda Civic EM1! Those B16 engines are really something and sounds awesome at 8700rpm! (VTEC YOOOO!)
Enjoy the forum! :)
hehe, wow just read through this thread. I was so keen to get an MPS.
:( Didnt' end up getting one though. Bought an Evo 8 instead.
hahaha. Love the MPS's though, honestly do you know what scared me off them... the Warrenty recall list, that and the fact that they are near impossible to sell. I honestly think they have more pull than the Evo though.
Warranty recall :shrug:
Gonna say what warranty recalls?

Those warrenty issues. Just seemed like a massive f*** around. Also warrenty was dropping out of the ones I wanted to buy anyways, so just didn't want to risk it.
Regardless, I love the 3MPS's I would have loved to get one. Really liked this forum and community aswell.
:welcome:To Ozmpsclub you will regret not buying a mps :headbang: the real drivers kick arse car LMAOLOL
Col :burnout:
Methinks it woud have been very hard giving up a DC2. Not too many FWD cars around that handled that well for the money. But if you've had the fun your'e going to have, it's time to move on.
