Going to look at it on Saturday and wondered if anyone knew the car?
thanks
Sam
How much is it up for?
Dc
7k.
It has various nice mods on it but the carbon/kevlar recaros are missing.
It\'s not worth 7k with the seats missing IMO
Do you know the car?
Where in Sussex is it? Speedline or Super7 might know of it...
It\'s not in Sussex, it\'s at a dealer north of London :)
Hmm looks familar, where is it for sale? Looks like one that was in a dealer in Toddington, Beds.
If so its my mates uncles place
Yep it\'s that one Adam. :)
Looking to find some history on it, none of the specialists I\'ve contacted seem to know it and apparently the car doesn\'t have any history which is odd given it\'s been in the country since \'07.
Feel free to mail me if you like, marfgtti@hotmail.com

Hmm, ok. I\'ll give my mate a shout and fire off some questions to him. I presume you\'ve spoken to the dealer?
Ah, I thought you might know a bit about the car. Don\'t worry :)
I\'ve spoken to the dealer, I doubt you\'ll get much info out of your mate that I\'ve not already had from the dealer
Cheers anyways :)
Looks like I\'ll just need to look it over thoroughly before making an offer! Will be organising a comp test too.
What I do know is its been there for a while. He had it when I was looking for my rex, and that was May
7k!! Would have to be a lot of things going on under the bonnet to make it worth that. What\'s the spec?

I reckon he\'s had it nearly a year, tax expired April and the current MOT Expires March 13, so I reckon he put that MOT on it. I know he took it in PX.
Grant - it has a few bits and pieces on it yeah. Don\'t wanna spill the full spec till I\'ve been to view, but as I say I don\'t think it\'s worth 7k. ASsuming it\'s in good nick and the compression is good, I\'ll be offering a fair bit less.
If its standard twins I would be offering half, although its a shame to say, these cars just aren\'t worth much these days:( but all the bette for grabbing a bargain:)

Its on the standard twins for sure. I\'m also looking at philwhites old car afterwards and I looked at another RZ a couple of weeks back so I\'ve got some comparisons :)
doesnt seem worth it...its too early a car and essentially a stock ish fd with unknown history thats sat for a year with coolant eating away at seals no?
Unless its a spirit R I would let the letter such as RZ or any of the others influence the price, I wouldn\'t pay more than 3500, even then I would think its too much.
Thanks for the advice, Philwhites car is looking more attractive
Well, it was a shed.
Here the car in all its "glory"

Drivers rear quarter has had paint, could see the blow in line
Panel gaps iffy EVERYWHERE
Clutch right at the top of the pedal
Brakes spongy
exhaust stank of coolant and covered the ground in coolant whilst it idled(bottle of water in one of the rear storage bins was a confidence builder! :Giggle)
Engine/transmission mounts tired and wobbly
Interior tatty, rattly and loose
Speedo and Rev counter not working.
Stock BOV still in place as well as the Blitz BOV
Scratches and chips everywhere
PowerFC most likely missing - the hand controller was not showing any signs of life
Fog lights front and rear not working
:flamed
It has some nice mods on it, but overall it was no way worth 7K. The rear passenger wheel was flat too when I got there :2Rolleyes
I think it\'d had a non-seq conversion, there was no noticable changeover on the turbos unlike the standard 96 RB I looked at afterwards in which the changeover was noticable.
Looking at a standard rebuilt RS tomorrow too :)
Shame mate, possibly the reason it has been there so long!
dont suppose you noticed what type of diffuser it was/and condition? may tap my mate up to see if his uncle will sell it haha!
Yeah I guess so, oh well. I couldn\'t pass up looking at it given the mods! It had the potential to be a really nice car.
The diffuser was in relatively good nick. I think its an RE-Amemiya copy. It wasn\'t carbon and the canards were no where to be seen.
Same as the one on this page http://www.coolkits.co.uk/acatalog/MAZDA.html
See if you can get the exhaust, I think that was a genuine REA item. Sounded really nice and not agressively loud.
Ah right, may have to go and take a look at it and see what i can get out of him. Chances are nothing will happen but got to be worth a punt! Never know, may get a bargain
I have just comp tested a customer\'s car made mid 7\'s...he only bought it last month.
He has just found out he is gonna be a dad so now he has to sell it. It\'s an rz too but again , no seats. Pm me and ill give you his number if your interested .
Hi Ed, I can\'t PM as I\'m not a member. Can you mail me on marfgtti@hotmail.com ?
I\'ve sent him your email.
Thanks Ed, BTW I\'m Sam, I text you a couple of weeks ago about a compression test outside London. It would have been for this car but as you can see I\'m definitely not interested in buying it :Giggle
Oh yes...hi mate....good job too!
Lol yup best left well alone!
No contact from your man yet Ed
Price drop on shed car!

And the important part you missed, it\'s missing the RZ recaro\'s :)
Use to see te previous owner fly around Leighton buzzard in it when I was out and about in mine, had a quick glance over it in the tesco\'s carpak it looked ok but the seats were missing so thought what else might of been pilfered off of it.
£7k is bloody strong money, it appeared there in Febuary time this year, think the trader will be stuck with it for a while.
Post #3 :)
