    black soot from tailpipe

    that south park episode is the best ive seen for a few years. **** pricks like that, I hate when people get at you ever since this CO2 bulls***, and in UK we really get ****** for having high co2, any vehicle over 225g/km (this engine produces 231) is 300 a year in tax rising to 400 next year...

    Finally took some pics (& a sound too) of my 3 MPS

    theres a simple answer fo the CAI, there are no aftermarket parts for this car in UK, i ordered it from a mazda dealer in California. If we want anything mazdaspeed/spoon/mugen/toms we have to import it, only Japanese parts readily available are for evos and scoobys, it works out a lot cheaper than...

    Calling all MS3 GT Owners (I'm curious of how some of the features work.)

    I have all the toys on mine and use most of them, when it is raining in England it spends most of its time lightly spitting or fine drizzle, having auto wipers is so good just so you dont have to keep switching from intermit to full speed every 20 seconds. I have to say the auto lights annoy me...

    More Competition???

    the 3 door is called sport-hatch and has zero rear visibility cos of the tiny rear window. we had one of them but shelled it for the 5 door in that same grey colour, you can get big turbo engines in the normal ones too, up to 2.0T, The VXR is crap anyway so you arent missing out on anything...

    the 1.8 20VT GTIs had a lot of engine problems that they ironed out at the transition to 2.0 TFSI and the DSG box is awesome but a very expensive addon. But the current 20VT cars are also a lot more reliable, so i wouldnt worry so much about the engine/turbo going bang anymore. VW (in UK)...

    Toyo Proxes R888.. Hott...

    I use toyos, R888 are primarily track day tyres but are road legal if you like swapping tyres every few months. Ive been using Toyo Proxes T1-R for a few years now as they have proven to be a very good (and cheaper) alternative to Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 and every set has lasted me way longer...

    Bmw M3 ????

    M3s are ten a penny in UK, all the posers/hairdressers drive them, my bosses son has one and its only a little bit faster than my car, certainly not worth 30k more not a chance Alpinas are fairly common too as rarer cars go, a lot faster than the vanilla beemers
