I do have the AC system though if you wanted to reinstall it.



All the mods listed as (New) have less than 500 miles on them all. The other mods have about 5000 miles or so on them.



I am just trying to get an idea of what it is worth. It should dyno well over 400rwhp@15psi, hopefully upwards of 450rwhp, but it has not been dynoe'd yet. It will be before I sell it though. Just let me know what you think it is worth, I will be selling her soon more than likely if anyone is interested in her.



Thanks,

Scott

Its worth what ever someone will pay for it. You're probably looking anywhere between 16k-20k realistically though.

you're probably better off, selling the parts that you have that are fairly new or new, and selling the car by itself as close to unmodded as possible

Damn. I remember when you were getting the front bumper for this thing.. looks aggressive. Looks great. Why are you thinking about selling it?

I am just getting ready for a new project. I still love the FD's, I may buy another one.



$16k? Damn. I don't think I could dream of selling it for that low. I have over $34,000 in it within the last year. I guess we'll see what she fetches if I choose to sell her.



I should have it tuned for 17psi and hopefully around 450rwhp and I will have it tuned for 22psi and hopefully around 525rwhp if all goes well. I really like the bumper, it fit really well, looks nice on the car I think, it will get some side skirts and wheels though if I keep it. Maybe a new hood too, who knows. I am just curious what people think it is worth.

I know it pisses me of too people don't ask more and stick with it. I've been trying to sell mine for awhile now and its not easy. I've been looking at what other people sell their heavily modded cars for, and its not much.

Well, I am not desperate to sell, so I will only sell it if I get a fair offer. $16k may be the going market, but that is insane. I just added up how much I have spent in the last year and it is $35,800 not counting any labor, shipping, paint, tuning, etc.....



So to sell that for $16k would not be worth it to me. I am looking for closer to $24k or around that area I think. I will still be losing my *** at that price, but you never get back what you put into it, that much I know. Who knows, I may just keep the car.



Thanks for the input everyone, please feel free to keep telling my what ou think it's worth.

if i were to sell my car the minimum would be $25k! that would only be if i had no other choice otherwise i would want alot more. i would say if your gonna sell i'd go for atleast $25k. if people would NOT sell modded cars for cheap we could sell our rx7's like modded supra's go for !!!! $20k-$40k!!!! its all so dissappointing...
