You'd probably have to roll out there. It's not too far off though.

I wholeheartedly agree. While I don't like paying out of the *** for a part, I don't mind buying something that is guaranteed to work as intended (looks/performance/etc.) Of course I'm going to seek out the deals out there, but I'm not so cheap as to try to wrangle a TPS for $10 or a CF hood for $200. People assume that a part only costs $5 to make, but you also have to assume that there's R&D, marketing, payroll that the part pays for. That's why Mazdatrix's True Dual exhaust is so much; there was a large amount of research that went into that exhaust in order to offer the best performance gains.

You also have to look at the fact that many FC owners are not "loaded", i.e we don't make boatloads of money and our bargain-hunting reflects that. I make $400 a week after taxes, but I also have rent, CC payments, cell-phone and food to pay for as well. All in all, I don't have much cash left over to spend on my FC. Of course I could make sacrifices, but is a sports car worth starving over? To some yes, but I like to have a decently stocked refrigerator.

Glad to see that some of you guys still have some sense in your heads. (hey it's 4:20 in case anybody wanted to know...I don't smoke but hey at least one of you proly does) Damn...eBay is an evil thing man, it's good, but more bad than good. Damn I'm tired so I'm gonna go to sleep now...nite.

Oh yea, I'm working on that girlfriend thing...I just never really settle down, plenty of options just not one that I'm quite certain on (although there is one that is a bright and shining star right now...very likely she might be the one). Wow, I'm about to turn 23 in a few hours...****, I'm tired I'll shut up now, gnite .

not sure how thats at all relevant but what the hell we'll take what we can get. I've been checking out the deals you have and i like them. If I do the TII swap then Ill have two working RX-7's. I'll take the silver one as my beater with the old engine and keep the red one at home. I love her too much, I'd probab;y kill someone if they messed the paint up. I exploded at this ******* who rammed his car door into the driver side of my door. I saw him, started chewing his *** out and then the dick tore off like a bat out of hell, and i didn't get his damn plate number. This was about a week before my car stopped working. BTW this wasn't a little dent, this was oh Im a dick and WHAM!!! It's almost like he ran the car into it. But I saw him do it. Although I have to admit the look on his face as I came running toward him was almost worth the probably 500 bucks worth of body repair it will take to fix it.
