Just wanted to introduce myself to get rid of the new member notice telling me I haven't posted yet :-p
I brought my '07 MPS3 in Oct last year. Low kms only 34k at the time, custom exhaust, chiptorque ecu, bov, centre dash replaced with custom gauge kit and Adrenalin Potenza RE001 wheels.. All very classy mods and not too over the top imo. I'm not a very technical guy, so for those enthusiasts sorry I couldn't be more specific - I'd have to look at the paperwork :-p
Future upgrades I would like. Id love to get a better sound system, currently just standard so a sub and upgrading the speakers. Also with the car being lowered and the firm tyres it isn't the most pleasing ride for the bum unfortunately, brilliant handling though. However I would love to see if I can upgrade the shockies to keep out the bumps - we haven't got the best roads up here.
I travel from Redcliffe to Darra for work everyday, so if you don't know Brissy that is about 140k round trip, so I spend my fair share of time in the car per day.
Biggest reason from joining - apart from my shared love with the MPS - Is I have had to do alot of researching the last 2 days on turbos. Because sadly my mps is in the shop at the moment with blown oil seals on the turbo. We are thinking the cause may be due to the high oil pressure feed and low pressure exhaust caused the seals to split. But we could be wrong about that. I just gave them the ok today after doing all the research I can and for the money that I _don't_ have to spend on the repair to put in a GT2850 Garrett turbo into the original turbo housing (exhaust flange is a different shape). There were a couple of other options but this seemed like the best for the money ($4100 if you were wondering). So it should come back with a bit more added performance too, so not completely wasted.
Cheers guys and girls. I hope to join some of the cruises coming up. Even the Bris to Adelaide sounds tempting. Never been part of a car club so should be a new experience :-)
(I'll post pics and stuff when I get my baby back :-p)
