Coming soon - 1988 FC newbie

Hi all. Hoping to join the fold soon. Took a test drive in a cracking Red 1988 FC today. Incredible power for a non turbo and the car is virtually mint. Very well looked after with 60k on the clock. Well maintained and exceptionally clean. A nice burbling Janspeed too (tho\' not s/s).

Paying Â£1500 which seems quite good to me. Collecting in about 2 weeks, I can\'t wait till she\'s mine!

Thanks. Pics for sure when I get her. A lovely car and was stunned with the condition.

Very nice!!

Plus you get the benefit of being able to run on 95 with no ill effects with EGI\'s

Picking her up tomorrow.... Whoohoo! Will put some picci\'s up asap.

Lacey · May 06, 2011, 11:03:25 PM

Looks mint! Bet you can\'t wait!!

B.Martin · May 07, 2011, 07:58:52 AM

Does look in good condition that, best of luck with her.

cribbohx · May 07, 2011, 02:07:17 PM

Indeed about as MINT as one could ever expect..... very lucky indeed to have found this beauty!!

Lacey · May 07, 2011, 04:13:02 PM

Strange, series 4 with a non-standard Mazda badge! Far as I know they didn\'t use that badge when they made that car. Either way that thing is effin\' MINT!!! Hopefully you\'ve got yourself a gem!!! Always remember to keep your eye on the underside, but from the looks of it you don\'t have the slightest bit of rust anywhere! Congrats!

B.Martin · May 07, 2011, 04:21:43 PM

And keep an eye in the oil level, regually change it and maintain it. As Lacey says Might be an idea to get it under sealed if it\'s not already been done? Other than that it really does look a real pearler!

Any plans for it?

Cheers guys... yep had those words of wisdom from the VERY attentive previous owner. Has been frequently waxoiled (& a summer driver only) but we\'ll be checking her over anyway.

Drives like a dream......tho\' the very light steering is bonkers!
