I've never seen a MPS, Gen 1 or 2, that didn't chug black smoke like a champ. Its normal.
2011 Gen II 3 MPS
66,560km
Transaxle replaced at 50,000km under warranty due to wong wong noise getting so loud it was unbearable, developed a whine when driving straight too and a metallic...
It shouldn't do it at any time except a near lock turn at low speeds, which is normal in these things.
What spec was the Penrite? The MPS requires API GL-4 anywhere between 75W80 and 75W90.
If...
Stock car, no.
Tuned car, for obvious reasons, yes.
I ran my fastest stock 1/4 mile at WSID on 95 lol

The LSD is noisy at lock at low speeds.
Good fluid can shut it up a bit.

According to Tirerack.com,
the S-Drive is an "Ultra High Performance Summer," tyre and the AVID ENVigor is an "Ultra High Performance All-Season," tyre.
They're both W speed rated (168mph) in...
Yeah my last 3 sets of tyres have been from eBay stores, can't beat the prices

Had a quick look, this looks like a good...
That's the thing... CTR and Sportivo don't have high kW lol
Torque output doesn't mean a car will be faster, otherwise we'd all be driving diesels.
I doubt the N/A thing will happen anyway.
Forget the 2.0 idea... but if it had a 250hp (187kW) n/a 2.5 in a car that's 100kg lighter, it would go harder stock vs stock than a current MPS...

The 2.5 is a bored out 2.3. Reason it won't go 2.5T? Cylinder walls are too thin once it's bored out

At 275hp (205kW) with 200lbs (91kg) less weight than a current BL MPS3 (1378kg down from the current 1469kg) it would be quite the benchmark considering the current creme of the crop are...
Megane...
I've run this in the MPS before, will grab a bottle at that price I paid $69.90 for it last tine

Costs more to buy, much more to maintain, more to insure (especially in a few years when the typical fully sick hectic bro cuz crowd inevitably gets into them) and has less practical storage and...
Yep, all people see is a repayment figure, think "I can pay that," and done deal.
The other thought is usually " How cool will I look/be with this <insert good being purchased here>"

Lots of people do though.
For example, BMW finance will do you 100k @ 6.7% over 5 years with a 30% residual.
It works out to $1,543.70/month.
Lots of people who clear 4000+/month can and do...
You've missed my point entirely.
Most people who buy a 100k car don't have a spare 100k, they finance it.
It's not that hard to buy a 100k car on finance, if you make say, 1000/week after tax,...
Just because you can afford a 100k car the way most people do (finance) doesn't mean you can afford to replace $20k gearboxes if they blow up (ala GT-R).
The new with warranty element is very...
Guinness world records are full of shit.
They recognized the McLaren F1's 391km/h which was done at 8300rpm with the rev limiter removed.
The top speed was 386 with limiter in tact.
So they...
Wheel bearing?
My Gen 2 is 1 yr 4 months old and it had one fail (front left).
Whoops lol my mistake... Should've read the budget better before recommending $3500 in wheels & tyres!
In which case, larkspeed.com sells Koni STR.T shocks with H&R sport springs for roughly $750...
H&R coil overs + Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 + drilled slotted rotors, better pads (Ferodo DS2500 for example) + brake fluid then follow with every bolt on + tune to get most out of stock K04, car will...
I wouldn't hold my breath for a Gen III MPS
