2001 Mazda

Rare opportunity! It's rust free JDM import, very rare facelift RS example. Not many were imported.

RS means that from factory you get 158hp, 7500 RPM redline, higher compression, different cams, exhaust manifold, lightened flywheel, uprated suspension, 6 speeds, torsen LSD, additional chassis braces, big brakes, no ABS (rare even for RSes!), 6 o’clock dials.

Recently dynoed at Skuzzle at 126whp, around 152hp at flywheel.

15+whp more than regular VVT.

Modifications:

Meister R coilovers

Short ram intake with oil catch can

Rota RKR 15x8 et10 wheels

Bridgestone re002 tyres

Fast road+ alignment

Rolled arches

Mintex brake pads changed - 5k miles ago.

Rebuilt shifter - 5k miles ago. Shifts very nicely.

New NGK spark plugs with Magnecor KV85 ignition leads - 1k miles ago.

All oils service - less than 1k miles ago.

engine - mobil super 2000 10w40 with K&N oil filter.

LSD and Gearbox - mobil mobilube 75w90.

Condition:

2008 import, done less than 10k miles in UK.

No rust at all, even in most problematic mk2.5 places - front chassis and sills are excellent.

Original weld spots in place, never been repaired.

I think it is undersealed, but can't confirm as I didn't do it.

Mileage is around 65k miles, showing in Kms, speedo is also in Kms.

Soft top is in very good condition, no tears or rips, heated rear screen.

It has working aircon.

Fresh new MOT until April 2018

This is an amazing car, never let me down, had a 4k mile trip around europe without any problems.

Pulls and drives superbly, even sounds a bit like ITB with this short ram intake. Very addictive!

It is very competitive car, won a 3rd place overall in 2016 FDMC autosolo championship (overtaken only by porsche cayman s and caterham 7)

It had set many fastest times of the day in autosolos and gymkhanas.

Everything works perfectly, very solid example, no funny noises or knocks.

Downsides:

Dented rear right quarter and some other cosmetics.

Rear tyres need changing.

Power mirrors aren't working, which never bothered me.

Price is 3500 ONO without hardtop.

North London.
