You can always try getting the price down of the car. Im going to try for £10,500 and at the most 11k. Just been looking at mods. Its nice to see the modding scene for the Mazda's, is as big as it is for VW/Audi/Seat. So expect me to be popping up in other parts of the forum. Lets just hope forge can get a move on with releasing the FMIC, the one I had on my Ibiza made a hell of a difference and the build quality was second to none. Noticed there isnt much in the choice of mapping tho.

This will prob work out cheaper. The car is up for £11,995 so I could offer lower I suppose. Yep as you say start haggling and get that price down. There is a fair bit around now for the mazdas but most of the stuff comes from the states. Mapping wise Sanspeed in kent seem to be the only ones at the moment and nobody has any trouble with them as far as I am aware......

Well thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Today is d-day in about 10mins im off to the garage to see if I cant get this MPS down in price. If not ill walk away and leave my number. Anyway quickly give a little bit about my self. Ive been an active member on quite a few car forums. Mainly SCN (seatcupra.net) where ive been a member since i was 17. Im now 23 so quite sometime. Im a mod on a local car forum ( www.cicarscene.com), I usually organise the monthly meet on a sunday afternoon, and help out with the car show at the end of April. Me and group of mates go yearly to the ring in September. So far we have 5 mate confirmed, with another two who are a maybe. Heres the current list of cars. MK4 VW Golf V6 4motion. Renualt Clio 182cup. Lotus Elise TVR ..... (cant remember which one). Mazda 3 MPS (me hopefully in that car). And the maybe's is Aston Martin M400 Nurburgring edition. Honda Prelude 2.2i vtec

Right little update. Took my Dad along with me as being as I live on an island and him knowing what seems like everyone, I thought he might be able to help.... And he did. He new the head of second hand car sale's. So he went in low at £10,500 but we ended up with £10,900. That includes a respray for the rear door and quarter panel, which looks like someone has dragged a handbag or something down the side of it, and a full tank of petrol.
