Uk FD owners

[dre]

I have a late 93 L reg uk FD!! have to agree they do rust quicker than the jap ones. Loads of extra\'s tho compared to jap spec although i\'ve got rid of alot of the heavy stuff cos it\'s so heavily moddded now after 6 years of ownership!!!

i have a k plate silver Uk car.

To know whether it is a UK one or not, check the VIN, the number should be: JMZFD13B200****** (* = the unique part of the VIN number).

It is a different VIN format to that of other continents (i.e. Jap import).

As far as I was aware, the UK ones weren\'t sold in varients, so if someone has a TypeRS, then it is probably an import. But key thing is, check the VIN.

arh, my bad got the wrong end of the stick. def a import

I think the price is too cheap, Copie & Mrs Copie! hope you don\'t mind me saying! Hopefully more chance of selling in the spring!
Good luck, Bob

I got me a 93K UK spec car. Not so sure about the rust comments as mine is completely rust free althought the paint work has seen a little too much sun in parts.  There still a few low mileage ones around, mine for example 34,500.

Mine is a 92-93 Montego Blue one.

Decat stainless exhaust and RX8 alloys. Apart from that standard till I can get the precat swapped for a jap downpipe and an Apexi.

Know what you\'re saying about rust on the UK one\'s there\'s a bit showing underneat but have treated and waxoyled so should be fine.

Think mine\'s showing 96,000. Had a new engine under warranty though before I had it and new turbos. Still had Mazda warranty at time of purchase although I didn\'t continue it at a cost of £400 a year!

[LeedsLad]

just be careful fellow UK spec owners i nearly put my sodding sill through jacking it up to get a trolly jack under and it didn\'t look rusted

[Grizzly]

You don\'t have to tell me about UK spec Fd\'s and Rust. I\'ve fixed one and been putting the Other off for the last two years.

i have to say there is alot to be said for Waxoil.

:wave Hi Bobfish - i dont know if you remember me but i used to own a white jap spec FD with shiny 5 spoke alloys. I met you once at the Shell garage on that big roundabout with Sainsburys and BP just off it. You were in your RED FD at the time, think it was standard except filter and exhaust. I saw you again just outside Pizza Hut with a few more mods on the car - was looking good when i last saw it.
