People are tyring to confirm themselves about the cars status. Do they own the car, no. So they cannot say that its experiencing this or that. Who owns the car, i do, so i aint going to confirm anything that isn't happening.


Are people just guessing or are they just wishing what they say is true. Pretty bizzare behavior.

So just to let you know, i wont be answering anymore worthless questions like "does it boost good" or "do you hear any strange noises".

As the proud owner of the car, i have the final say about it and what was described in that link is utter nonsesne.
Hmm, they are just trying to help you and let u know the issues of the car. If I were you I will appreciate their comment instead of saying this.

Help me?, excuse me.... Are you not listening to what i'm saying, issues? what issues, thats the thing.


I do not need help or assistance for things that is not needed. Like i said, whatever game you people are playing, it looks pretty childish.


Who do you people think you are trying to presume what is needed. Nothing is needed. I'm sure you will take this very hard, because afterall, your the ones that wasted time in that 5 page thread. Your hopes were high for nothing.

noone wasted time we were poking fun at certain aspecs of the add and the fact that the seller tried to sell the car on here (as well as onther forums) for months eachtime lowering the price. there is over 1000 years of colective knowledge and experience when it comes to mazda on this forum.. thats quite a bit more than what the seller knew

Welcome! who cares where its from, its running ok and if it were from the dodger himself at least he cant wreck it

these forums have been a lifesaver, the reason why i decided to buy a mazda. super reliable, just keep checking that oil... i know for a fact though, 4-5 months without oil and they still work well... well as long as the person behind you has a mask on hehehe..

have fun, stay safe and enjoy the wealth of knowledge on here..

Please dont think that way about your car.

You have just bought a 20 yr old car car, there is no way a car that is that old cannot have issues.
You show me someone who owns a 20 year old car with no faults and i will show you a liar.
My current car is 7 yrs old and has its own issues and I bought it new and have serviced it every 10000km or less.

Your car was advertised (if thats what you can call Todgers Ebay ad) as having many faults so my best suggestion is get a very good mechanic that knows a lot about familias or at least some one very familiar with Laser GTX's to fully inspect the car from top to bottom.
Chances are being a well used jap import is could have been imported as a wreck like a lot were.
No matter what it has been thrashed and I would hate to think what horrendous things the previous owner subjected that car to.


This is what the factory rims on a tidy Familia hatch should look like







Anyways

Welcome to Astina GT
Hope we may be of some assistance to you and you learn a few things here.

Hope you enjoy your new car and be gentle to your gearbox.
They are impossible to replace

Settle people,
It appears this is the infamous 'RC' GTX and all I've heard about this car is rumor and hearsay. How about we give NewGTXowner the benefit of the doubt and in return if there is something we can help him/her with we can do it with an open mind.

Do you have any recent pics?

WELCOME and I am Sorry mate but unless you have changed the gearbox since you bought the car I can tell you it is not the close ratio rally spec box. Sorry that he told you it was. It has the same ratios as my GT-R gearbox not the ratios from the GT-Ae again Sorry. I am new here too and you will find the people here very friendly, truthful and most importantly VERY HELPFUL

Nah not yet.

The car is an absolute rocketship. I'm trying to tame myself.

Maybe later.
