it is a 93 with 10k on rebuilt motor, no a/c, no heat, no comforts or stereo just power mirrors and windows, no p/s, set up to be a scca solo II race car but the guy ran out of money, so it has 1k a piece 17"x10 custom made rims, w/ dot approved race tires, 2 sets of stock wheels and tires, greddy catback, mid + downpipe, brand new suspension w/ mazdaspeed parts, now coilovers. he said it pulled 1.5 g's on the skidpad, maybe 1.05? but that is ******* amazing. he is asking 15k for it. is this a good deal or should i keep looking for a stock one?



also, i really want a/c and heat, how much would it be to replace it, and how hard would it be, plus i have a system in my car that i could put in there for some tunes.



and it would be my daily driver.



help me out diciding if this is a good deal or not, looking at it tomorrow, he said he runs 13 psi stock (i thought 10 psi was stock),

he is also very knowedgeable and know what he was talking about, so im sure he took good care of it like it should, he originally bought it to do a 20b swap and race it in scca races, and he said that he has raced it before, but not this year.



guide me please!



thanks to all who posted

who are some good guys to pm about this?

proly easier to get a car that's stock and mod it the way you want it. It's not hard to put in the ps/ac, but it sure does help if it's already there.

but if i had the money to do all that, its what i would do, i am aimed more towards auto-x than lets say drag racing, so it is pretty well set up, i was also doing some research on these mods, all of this **** is ******* expensive.



oh yeah he still has every stock piece, except for the heater and air.

If that's the case, why even ask? Looks like you've made your mind up already.

i really want the car, just wanting to hear your guys' $.02.



i calculated about 11000 in mods.



it does have the factory stereo, he pulled a 1.05g not 1.5, he said it is capable of 1.1 now with stickier tires and better coilovers.



if it has no heat, would the car fog up if it rained and while driving it during during the winter?

Confucius say: It is easier to make pig fly than to make race car into comfortable daily driver.
