2nd gen 20B
wanted to know how much is a 90 2nd gen GTU with a 20B single turbo,microtech LTX-12s, cusco coilovers, recaro seats, precision turbo, rb swaybars, body kit, SSR Supermesh wheels,ETC and much more goodies be worth? Saw one for sale just wanted to now ruff idea\\\
Worth is all in the eyes of the beholder. Would I spend $30k to build a 20B FC? Hell yeah, probably more if I had to. Would I BUY someone else's work for $30k? Hell no. I might spend $15k, tops.
You have to realize that you never get money back when you put it into a car like that. Having said that, that means that you should be able to buy a car for a lot less than it would cost to build it yourself. However, you have to decide whether you want to trade off cost for taking a chance on someone else's work.
Now, there are exceptions to my first paragraph. For instance, if it was a car like Lupe's that I knew had the utmost attention given to every single little aspect, I wouldn't hesitate dropping $30k+ on it. But for the average car, I would personally want a car as least modified as possible. That way I know everything is done correctly (and with the parts that I want to use).

I'd think someone might be able to get 20K out of a car like that. Its not like 20B powered RX-7's are on every street corner. So a person is left with about 2 options. Doing the conversion themselves or buying one thats complete for slightly more.
