still a 13b-re with 400rwhp @ 18 psi and a pretty good amount of "safe" mods.
seems to have good tuning too...

i wouldnt pay 23k$ but its a good 15k$ investment.

If they really redid the entire engine and chassis from the ground up, maybe, but they dont go into too much detail, they also spelled tial wrong and say 17 psi at first and then 18psi.

I let out a loud laugh at that one. $23,000!!! Must be ******* crazy. Id say at most $14,000-$16,000 and thats if hese lucky and finds someone who is either loaded or is as crazy as he is. He might have $4,000 in the actual car, then another $8,000-$10,000 in parts, if that. To me... that doesnt add up to $23,000

That's some classy leppard-print something in the back as well (scan through the photos). I don't care how shiny the turbo is, why do all that work and have no air filter. Somethings I just never understand...

no modded FC should get more than $10k. It's still an 80's car... I think those s5 turbos with 10,000 miles are about the only cars that are worth 15k +, and maybe super super super low mileage 10AE cars.

Photographing the car next to a graffitied dumpster and asking $23K seems a bit incongruous....

That car originally sold on either here or eBay for like $8000.

For $23K, I could build 2 nice daily driver FC's for that, with rebuilt 13B-RE's!

OMG and Cozmo engine! I wonder it that is similar to a Cosmo? And is it 400 @17 lbs or around 400 at 18 lbs? Make up your mind.
It sounds like the guy is trying to make back what he put into the car which NEVER happens.
Anyway, for that much money I could do a damn 20B swap and make substantially more power.

Nice car, but by no means a $23k car. If you are asking that much money it needs to be show quality. The paint and interior wer by no means show quality.

As far as price goes.. I hope that more FC's start selling for that much, makes my car worth that much more... Shoot 5 years ago people couldn't give away the old carolla sr5's (ae86) and now they are an easy 3-4k in all their snail like rusty glory...

he says ithas a 13B-RE and then goes on to talk about the FD motor and A/C

he's confused about everything. "when inside, the car feels like a sports car!!!"

would it kill him to use a comma???

It's a really nice car but I agree with all of you; It's not worth $23K.
