    I didn't think any plugs were properly gapped out of the box. Worth double checking anyway.

    For 50k plugs, running in a rich engine, I don't think they look anything out of the ordinary. No...

    I've got Penrite in my car atm, bought direct from them since they had two different types. Thinking it's almost due for another change.

    I'll check SCA (even closer to home) for the stuff.

    Thanks for the timely reminder. I'm sure I'm due for a GB fluid changeover. Will get in contact with Penrite again (it's been a while). Thankfully they're not too far from home.

    Hi and welcome to the MPS family.

    Remember, your car will be 12 years old. Get a VERY thorough check of all the suspension points and the brakes. Control arms are high-load areas in the 3, so I'm...

    I have an old Mazda "Zoom Zoom" rubber keytag, and a Spongebob Squarepants keytag in the shape of a t-shirt (from Dreamworld). I can't get pictures sadly.

    When were the wheels last rotated and tyres balanced?

    Take it to a dedicated tyre place and eliminate the chance of an out of balance wheel.

    I own an '06 3MPS and don't have an issue with the timing chain. To be honest, wouldn't know what would happen if it was stretched, but it seems to run fine.

    I'd be careful of engine mounts and...

    I have Bilstein B12's. Fitted years ago, they drop the ride height a little, but not much. Still very legal. They're a combination package of Bilstein and Eibach, probably B8's. I had to import from...

    Oh shit! That's nasty!

    Here's hoping they get a serve from you about their cost-cutting. Given how you drive your car, I'm surprised you hadn't fitted a dry-cell battery before.

    Nice thread of DIY. I guess I don't have the same issue with the seat since I'm just *that* much bigger and heavier than you (I'm a much larger person than Reedy if anyone wants to know) and I don't...

    You'll also find that the MPS bar doesn't protrude as much as the SP bar. Look from the side, it'll look like it sticks out just *that* much more.

    I think the pictures pretty much sum things up.

    Welcome, and I'd add some brake upgrades (either decent pads, or rotors and pads).
