Parts for the 1991 Mazda RX-7 are $39.99 USD.

C'mon man, what parts are you talking about? :P

Replacement parts, aftermarket parts, which ones? Some parts are about the same as for most any car, and some are more expensive for being hard to find and nobody makes them.

Real J D M, R H D, O M G! B R B, gatta go clean myself up.

Anyway. i think the JDM Turbo Fc did come with alittle more power. IF i recall correctly I thikn 210-215Hp versus the american Turbo2 which is 200hp stock.

correct me if i am wrong.

$10K is about $5K too much. It looks like it's in great shape so $6K would be reasonable but $10,000 is way too much. Right hand drive is such a pain...

I'd pay 6 or 7 thousand american dollars for that car. It's significantly under 100,000 miles and in really good shape.

Dude its at least 200, probably more, but not more than 215 hp. I dont know exactly how the Japanese models run, but an American 91 TurboII would have 200 horsepower.
