just took it out on its first proper run yesterday, the thing really does go like the clappers, any gear any speed put your foot down and youre off.

my brothers polo GTI can do like a 7.4 0-60 (not entireley race accurate but stopwatched over and over again, best was 7.00 then an average taken) and it leaves him totally for dead, im getting a mazdaspeed intake and a turbo back exhaust for it, and by all accounts you can see a massive (30+hp) improvement by just getting rid of the stock resonator and downpipe/exhaust as they are so restrictive.

Getting excited!!

Never really seen one of these about until I was at a Mazda garage at the weekend and saw one in red with the Aero kit, just as this one is, it looked the nuts

...yeah, as it sounds like your car is sneezing, or has a cold! :D

My previous car, the dump valve was loud! Scared to death old ladies and made small children cry! lol.

Got bored of it after a while so binned the DV, bit chav like. You just cant beat a good bit of wastegate chatter (the sound goes on for longer too)! ;)

Anyway, sweet Mazda mate. The side view, with the window design does look a little like the facelift Leon!?
