My new ride!

[CORZZA]

Right so as most of you know have guessed i Sold/traded in the sportivo! Its been in the books for a long time now.

Almost sold her 5 months ago due to personal reasons. But on the 1st of august i started my new job and things were going so dandy. I met some good people that are connected and well i was pointed in the right direction. Decided time to let the stivo go. Did some research and a few test drives of WRX (ghey),VXR(dream),golf GTI's(soft) etc and came up with this gem! Got an excellent trade in on the sportivo and before i knew it i was sold! I test drove a black one that had been lowered and had 19's on it. i went back 3 days in a row and finally made up my mind.

So 4 weeks in waiting.....

I present the blood rose!

CONGRATS MAN. If i was to trade in the sportivo for anything it would most likely be this. lil pcket rockets. have fun with it mate.

Very nice....My bro had a SP23 before and the build quality on the mazdas is awesome.

The MPS must make the stivo feel like a snail in comparison. Only downside is that it is FWD, but I have read that these babies are boost limited on the first 2 gears to control torque steer......

[JF-GEE4CE]

congrats man all the best... i bet that must haul a5s

Pete. NOOOoooooooo. You've defected to the other side. heheheh just kidding. Nice car. geez, you must love red cars. hehehe. Have fun with it man. Wasn't there a recall for the transmission-side engine mount? make sure it's been done.

congrats on the new ride.

@qkslvr that was all the 2006 models. all the 07 models have that the problem rectified. But il be getting special mounts put in soon anyway! the plans have begun haha.

Been chatting and doing some research on this thing. Many upgrades available just. Alot have to be imported fomr the US though. But there are a few tuners in sydney currently working on a few MPS 3's & 6's so well see.

CAI on its way and BOV shortly.

Never having looked at one before, that interior (trim etc) is what the stivos should have been, eh?

Beeee uteiful, that care is.

Hey Pete. You reckon those MPS3 leather seats will fit into the Sportivo? I'm sick of the squeeks and rattles from the standard sportivo seats.
