Description: Exterior condition is good. Interior conditon is excellent. Engine runs well and has a nice boxer note. Electronic brake force distribution (EBD), ABS, power windows, cruise control, standard cd player, power mirrors, new window wipers, new Handkook K104 tyres (about 2,000km), 16' factory alloys, comes with 2 keys, tow bar, height adjustable drivers seat.

So this is the story. I was at the Mazda dealership yesterday and I wanted to test drive the new Mazda 6 becasue it had some improvements from the previos models. So I went for a drive, I tested a 5 speed automatic with sequential shift....... the Mrs liked the car........ her excuse was that we needed something bigger, more grunt with an automatic transsmission for driving interstate...... the dealer let us use one of the demos...... so we went for a drive around Melbourne...... went back to the dealer and somehow,we were discussing price....... spent the whole afternoon haggling about price and I was not really thinking seriously about buying the car....... the next thing I knew....... i gave them my credit car and they took a deposit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Anyway, we got $4,000 of rrp, which effectively means we do not pay for stamp duty, rego and all the other taxes. Bought another wagon, but a Mazda 6 classic wagon. managed to also get extended 1 year warranty. Woke up this morning in a daze thnking....... what have I done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

The dealer is offering us $16,000 for the Impreza but gave us 3 weeks to find a private buyer. Car will be sold by 2nd April 2006. I would like $17,500 for the car and it is cheaper than any other Impreza you will find on the market with the same make and year. But basically, I would be happy with offers more than $16,000. (not like $10 or $100 more or something)

Thanks for reading,

Jon

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
    • Dang, those BBS are so nice!
