My Mazda is up for sale, after 3 years of being a daily work car. £900 OVNO
LOCATION: Stratford, London. VIEWINGS: Evening/Weekends. CONTACT: 07957426111
UPDATE: MOT and Tax till August 2015, but tax rules means its pointless me mentioning, as new tax will need to be applied for by new owner.
NOTE; XXR Alloys will not be coming with the car unless you pay the additional for them. Separate Add will go up for these. £500 with the car which will be discounted to listed selling price. Will come with the standard 15’ alloys.
I worked 27 miles from home, so it was used to do the 54 miles daily to and from work, and any other miles from day to day shopping etc. Bought the car on 114k but the mileage is now 165k. Car was serviced by me every 8k-9k or so, new spark plugs, oil, and oil filter. Have a HKS style filter relocated to driver side, which is washable. Used mostly Fully Synth 5w-30 or 5w-40 as it’s the same oil I used in my Nissan 200sx, up until the last service where I used 10w-40 semi. Purely because I had loads of the oil purchased a bundle of Castrol GTX so just using it up.
Car is a CAT D Insurance Listed, was before I bought it, but was cheap enough to risk buying it then. Further investigations identified that the damage was to the driver’s door, was repaired before I bought it and isn’t visible to the eye now.
Biggest issue I had and have dealt with is mostly rust, spent a vast fortune replacing rusting bits and repairing rusty panels on the car. Good news for a new owner. Both sills were done 1.5 years ago, and some welding in the engine bay, rear arches were grinded down and painted and protected, with POR15 after cleaning and marine clean. Still need the underside cleaned and undersealed again IMO, which was on my to-do list after the rear arch lips. As the car was my daily, I could only really afford the car being worked on, on the weekends. So work on the car took time and somewhat of a slow process. Bootlid has rust and will need replacing, tried repairing but it was pointless as the welding would have cost more than a replacement bootlid, so already have a spare bootlid that is rust free, but is different colour hence never got round to painting and fitting, will be going up for sale separately, or you can take with car at additional cost (I want £50 for it which is what it cost me).
Most of the work was done by Dal at DAL Performance, which most might not be familiar with, but might be if you’re on the SXOC, As he works a fair bit on my Nissan as well as all cars in the family.
Only issue with the car at the minute is the clutch has just began to slip a little, I can supply a Exedy clutch with the car (I changed the clutch to a Stage 1 F1 Racing some 2 years ago now and the Exedy that came out the car was near enough new so seems the previous owner had changed it fairly recently but didn’t do the clutch release bearing which was needed, hence me doing it all again). The clutch release bearing needs to be done again also, as it rattles a little when not engaged and on acceleration.
Work/Mods done

Viper CAT 1 Pager Alarm with Proximity sensor Security system (cost me £400 to buy & fit)

Engine Bay striped, cleaned and POR15 in Gloss black.

Loads of bits that I can’t recall at the minute.
Exhaust mid section replaced 1k miles away.
Post Cat Lambda Sensor replaced with Bosch sensor after Engine Management light came on.
Arches rolled by Pablo at Archenemy to fit my ET0 wheels. Front were also, (dink appeared in front arches from roling).
Car has paint chips, scratched, arches are rust bubling, there are rust patches on the car still on the surface, few dinks in the bodywork. Glass has two small stone chips that were resin repaired, but still visible, passed MOT. Its a car that has 165k, used daily for local and motorway journeys. its more then 10 years old, so isnt mint, but like to think price reflects this.
Will be advertising loads of parts that I have, Hardtop, Hardtop stand, Body kit, skirts, rear spats, duck tail spoiler. Rain deflectors for hardtop, stainless steel water tank, chassis braces, poly bush kit for whole car, HID Kits, so keep eyes peeled for that.
Excuse the dusty inside pics, had just washed the outside, inside was done after the pics.
Further Pics available on request.
PM for further details and contact.
