how many are in the WORLD though? anything can be moved here in some form..

like a buick gnx, very few WORLDWIDE were made, thats why they are so rare...

we dont know how many they had in the world, they made 27,651 fd's between 12-91 and 7-92 (the 93 model year), and we got about 9000? of those, so if they kept the same color mix there should be another 500 cyms in the rest of the world

I think that Chaste looks very dope, especially when it's more glossy than usual. A coat of wax and a night shot behind some lights, looks beautiful. SSM is still my favorite FD color.

I heard its at Mazda NA or something like that.

But yeah, CYM is very sexy if you see it in real life. Pictures don't do it justice. mmmm

And it is Competition Yellow Mica, never heard that other name that rxplicit came up with?
