the reason i said to vin swap is to not let the insurance know its turbo. here in the states it would be a lot easier to do it that way than to go legit

federal offense = arresting you with guns drawn, and you can't fight the man so you instantly lose.



do not pass go, do not collect anything, go directly to jail.



now on topic: idle problems are pretty simple, door open indicator is a cheap switch in the door most likely. RHD is gonna be difficult to learn to drive, canadians are lucky with their 15 year rule, and the german import thing seems hot.



kevin.

thanks for all the imput guys.



the RHD thing, well im not crazy about it, but its not something thats preventing me from buying this car. I'm sure I'll get used to rhd.



talked to my insurance company and coverage on this car is the same as my sunbird. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif



also on the plus side the seller is taking the car to the mazda dealership and getting the idle problem fixed up for me before i buy the car, and i may get the dealer to give it another once-over.



then if all goes good the car should be in my driveway this weekend. I'll post some pics https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

I haven't bothered to read the whole thread but I think the price is a bit high

tell the guy not to take it to the mazda dealer to have work done. if the dealers there are like the dealers in the states the car will leave with more problems than it had going in.
