Well I knew this day would come. Kind of unavoidable when you buy a Volvo S60 Polestar (MY15) as your daily drive :wave:
I love my MPS and have it spec'ed up exactly how I wanted it:
Go fast bits...

Well I did it! Deposit placed, finance almost done and pick up in a few days :2thumb: I'm ashamed to look at my 6MPS and feel I have betrayed her :wave:

Final price was $79,000, done 1000kms and...

Test drive done - I'm sold, I want one. The only sticking point is that I needed an OK figure on my 05 6MPS to bring the change over price within the range of my car allowance when using finance....

Going for a test drive next week but I just know I will love it. I have looked longingly at the reviews for several years now and am closer to actually doing something.

Yes I know they are...

Haven't played in the sand-pit for while as my 6MPS has been tricked up to my liking and without any new 6MPS from Mazda things are on a slow slide as cars age and owners switch out. But I have need...

Hi Justin,

I am also on the CC and have an 05 6MPS. Similar to you I only do ~20,000km/y which is >50% freeway driving to Sydney, now a total of 98,000km. I have had the car since new. Apart from...

Is it OK to just do the back and not the front as well. I want to do something similar with my 6MPS but am concerend I need to balance with the front and as far as I know, whiteline dont make a front...

Hey Onyx,

I'm confirming a few things with Jim before posting the dyno results because to be honest they are so good it is difficult to believe :2thumb:

6MPS 05 build

EcuTek tune for me tomorrow and the finale of my performance mods - DP + SRI + Ecutec = :2thumb:

Very excited about the expected outcome. I'm hoping for 20 - 30 kw over stock.

I also had my Corksport SRI installed today but I chose to pay for mine to go in. 2 hours / $160 and they had the same hassles as you did. Very happy with the result. Now for my EcuTek tune in early...

I've had Lenso Samurai SC-02 for 2 years now and I am very happy with them. They are very light weight at ~7kg so great for suspension and handling, look HOT (imo) and best of all you never see...

Welcome Andrew. I also have a silver 05 6MPS and am based in Gosford but get up to Newcastle sometimes on business. See you around.
If you ride isnt modded, start saving 'cos its worth it :2thumb:...

You can never be too cautious with safety. I have seen that quite a few others have put Whiteline on and been happy with the result so they are out there. However the difference between an OK set up...

Thanks for the info and opinion kmh001. I assume going with something like Whiteline with both a front and rear combination will ensure balance and compabilility with other suspension/steering...

I was chatting to a performance mechanic recently about installing a front strut brace (AutoExe from MPSGarage) for my 6MPS. He suggest I do front and rear sway bars instead. Can anybody explain the...

I was very concious of weight when getting new rims. Many of the great looking ones were 15 - 20Kg which will only affect performance and stress on your stearing/suspension. I finally found looks and...

Only for 3MPS or will it also fit the 6MPS?

Dont think I have posted on this thread so here they are: Lenso Samurai SC02,18 X 7.5, only ~7.5Kg each

There is hope. I just had my CPe downpipe installed on my 6MPS (fantastic result). Wife just came back from a drive and patted me on the back saying that "the car is so much easier to drive" that it...

How about for the 6MPS, are the stock mounts good enough?

My DP goes in tomorrow so I can have them check the mounts.

I got my CP-e DP delivered last week and it goes on this Thursday. I'm based on the Central Coast and have a local performance tuner doing the work. They also look after EcuTek so a tune might be...

I've just been in contact with an MRT agent on the Central Coast. He has confirmed that the MRT distributor in Sydney is ready to go with the 6MPS and they have done several cars already.
...

I want to improve the handling so thought a front brace would be effective and economical. MPS Garage have two types:
- CorkSport MPS 6 One Piece Polished Shock Brace - $240
or
- AutoExe MPS 6...

I have 225/40/18 because I switched rims to something more appealing - Lenso Samurai :2thumb:
