I've been approved for 12k from my bank... and I have about 3-5k more to play with if the mods and price are right.



Here are one that I'm looking at...

don't tell me you PCS' and had to get rid of your car. That sucks. I know you probably don't want one from Autotrader but you might want to check there anyway.

Yep.. had to strip it.. I've checked Autotrader... and the biggest problem I'm haveing is finding one that's close.

7mech 10-20-2002 09:20 PM

Dude that makes want to cry. I can't even afford one and you strip one and are trying to buy another. That's no fair! I'll check texas for you if you want to do a little traveling.

FDokinawa 10-20-2002 09:27 PM

Texas would be an OK Drive.. Thanks.



BTW: RX-7's are cheap in Japan.. only paid 4.5k for mine...

Rutt 10-20-2002 09:52 PM

Those mods and a stock clutch???? Did I miss something? I guess the owner ran out of loot before he/she could buy a decent clutch!

someone did research.. FD prices are going up in the US...... the rarer they get they more $$$$ they are worth. it helps that the FD was in the fast and furious https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

FDokinawa 10-25-2002 05:58 PM

well I talked to a guy about painting my car. He said that it was going to be difficult to match my old color. said he could come very close though... so I was thinking about going with the newer rx-7 blue.. anyone know the color number?
