Hi Folks.
I've had my Radiant Ebony 06 MPS6 for about 10 weeks now, and thought it was about time to introduce myself, my drive, and a few of my toys.
I bought the car from one of the dealers here in Perth, and was immediately impressed with the quality of the fit and finish of the car. I have owned a WRX in the past, and by comparison the WRX feels a little like a shopping trolley with a turbo bolted on as an afterthought. The MPS6 feels more like a Japanese luxury saloon, albeit a rather rapid one.
I love the way the party starts at about 3200 rpm. Shame it's all over by 5200.
(I once had a VTiR Civic- the fun started at about 5200, and went all the way through to 8400. Eeek!!).
I've a few mods in the pipeline;- I'm on the list for the Hypertech group buy, and I'm also sniffing around at a CAI/SRI, BOV, and exhaust, so hopefully I'll get over that the conservatism that the boffins at Mazda have deliberately built into the car.
Hopefully the photos will come through.
Some thanks are in order. While looking to buy a car, I spent quite some time on various forums. This one was by far the most informative.
The people on it are generous of knowledge, quick of wit, and gracious of ignorance. Thankfully, you are intolerant of shysters (DIY tuning, anyone?).
I look forward to meeting some of the WA members (Christmas cruise, eh guys?), and hope that you all enjoy the happy snaps.
Take care,
Pete.
