Over the years since I bought my FD in 1998, I have seen and and been asked about what to look for when buying an FD. The resounding piece of advice I have heard is to buy the absolute best FD that you can afford. You will spend the $$ regardless getting the less expensive one to where you want. This is somehting I wish I had done, A few extra K back in 1998 would have given me am all original 94 with 1/2 the mileage (18-24K miles). I had been looking for 18 months at the time and prices were a lot higher than now of course.



I would however recommend that you find a rotory FD mechanic or other mechanically adept enthusiast first before committing to a purchase. Unfornately in my case, the local Mazda Dealer was dropped by Mazda a couple months after I bought my FD.



Good luck in your search
