I have a feeling within the next few years the fb's and sa's are going to become very desirable.. Once the "sport compact" scene picks up on how much *** end sliding power is availible from these capable cars. ESPECIALLY now that drifting is hitting the US coast like a hurricane. I think value will skyrocket. I mean look at the corrolla ae86's 3 years ago you couldn't give one away, now some magazines did some write ups on them in JAPAN and now you cant find a rusted out poorly running one for under $2500. The Media will pick up on our cars comercialize them and then you'll see people paying $1500 for a shell... You wait and see. Pretty soon you'll see tons of "kids" with FB's pouring all there parents money into them.....LOL. Way to go scc and super street....

 

That would suck. I would have nothing to live for.

 

Everyone has to wait to get on the band wagon until I get my parts. I don't want to pay anymore than I already do!

 

Ive been thinking this for a while now...Im more afraid of it coming true now than ever though.

I don't care either way, as long as prices don't go up.......which they will

 

No way, theres always that whole 'omg its a rotary its unreliable i dont want my car blowing up blah blah blahhhhhhh' thing...that will keep the newbs away from our precious cars

 

I believe the anime "Initial D" is more to blame for that.

 

I must be getting OLD because drifting seems like a waste to me.

 

I've thought this ever since the Rx-8 was a "rumour uncertain". !

 

So true

 

Either way, our cars are becoming valuable as it is. Look at the SA right now. They go for 6000-7000 dollars on a regular basis for one in good condition. A good condition FB with a 12A will go for 3000 dollars or more. A GSL-SE will go for 4000 dollars. All first gens up to 83 are already classics. In 3 years, ALL first gens will be classics worth a lot of money because they are highly desired by collectors that want the first RX-7's.

 

and then I can make even more money with my Rx7 parts on Ebay!

 

the drifting thing has affected the fc, the 89t2's go for a lot now but nobody drifts a first gen

 

Even though i think drifting is kinda dumb. and a waste of tires The FB is a PERFECT car to do it in. Solid rear axle, the rear is really tossable and predictable consistant runs would be child's play! just my $0.02.

Screw trendy fads! I just hope i don't see another rx-7 like I saw at Nopi Nats last year! It was an 83 gs with a HUGE ricer spoiler, cheap APC muffler bolted at a downward angle, and Fast and furious "flying guy" decals on the sides over the sock BABY blue paint..uhh gross!
