Racing "breaks"?
I notice that the car features the rare- possibly JDM- "dual fan" option...an efan on the rad with the stock mechanical fan- cleverly unshrouded- left in place.

Hell, my NA is much tricker than that and I doubt I could get $3K for it.

why is the master brake cylinder turned side ways ? Why is Drivers side AC vent on radio surround broken ? Is that some type of tape over the thermostat housing connecting the radiator hose? Where is the stock air box and fan shoud? The car isn't even smog legal without the stock air box. Still needs actual mileage posted and compression test. umm KKB.com anyone ? I'd throw 3.5 if I had the money. Seller is looking for a return from the investment.

14k spent on that car................how do i increadably doubt that.
swapped engine, from n/a to n/a? how does that count as a swapped engine? maybe rebuit?
e-fan and mech fan? brake master?
i fail to see 14k in the whole car. oh, and seats that are probably not FIA approved? as well as harnesses
9k for a non-smog legal car, pacesetter header (not carb), cone filter (not carb) and the air pump tube with what appears to be a filter element in the hose? (not carb)
AND AND AND, no battery tie down?
this car is barely street legal
9k? ide say 3

Would I pay that much for that? No.
Would some random craigslist idiot pay that? Possibly/probably.


The way I see it is when people think their FC's are worth so damn much and advertise them for that, it makes people see the high price, and potentially slightly raises the market value for these cars. There were a couple of mint all stock verts in my area for sale for somewhere around the 10k range, now who pays that much for a stock vert?
We need to all just start selling our cars for twice of what they're worth


Also, look what FC rx7's are; respectable sports cars right? Now look at hondas(mostly eco cars), why are they(and their engines) worth so much? You can almost buy a 20b for the same price as a b18c5 type r motor...
Wow way off subject, but yeah, I wouldn't pay that much for it.

We need to all just start selling our cars for twice of what they're worth


We should totally do that!!!! I mean, that's what the FD owners do- ......................oops...was I not supposed to say that about the "supercar" owners? I forget that their cars are the epitome of Mazdas and we should all respect them for their 23894723948th motor rebuild. It's not like our cars, the first gens, and all the old schools paved the way for that car or anything...


What do I know? I'm an FC and REPU owner.


But, as for that car....umm, that thing's not even worth 3500....I'd give him a solid $2200, for good paint, the nice S5 tails, and a California chassis.

I would have to be incredibly clean and straight to fetch and where above 5 grand for an na, but even that is a stretch. I mean besides the guys horrible spelling, it looks like an ok car, 4 grand wouldn't be unreal for him to ask, still high, but id take offers on it.

He's not even including the aftermarket steering wheel, but is including the hub. I'm not sure how he plans on selling it unless he removes the aftermarket hub and throws on a stock steering wheel.

that car is all kinds of fail.

Once I saw the "drift toy" dangling on the rear tow hook I already knew it was a fail.....
