Why in Gods name would you want to put that on the car??? Apart from looking tacky, it ruins the overall aero of the vehicle. More than anything, just esthetically horrible..

Ballpark idea on what mine is worth? I don't think I want to sell it but I've got to sell one of my toys to free up some funds to build a building. Might sell this if it's worth enough, I just don't see myself having the time to actually get to it for at least 2-3 more years.

'93 MBM Touring. 23k miles (but impossible to prove).
Parked since '99. No rust. Autech ECU. Zero mile gotham racing streetport engine (still full of pre lube, turned over now and then when I think of it, all sealed up), zero mile fresh rebuilt trans by Liberty's Transmissions w/ cryoed gears and other improvements, no cooling system, no IC, giant turbo I've lost the specs on. New coilovers and poly bushings everywhere. Lots of other nice new parts.

Missing: Diff, axles, driveshaft, some interior bits including the gauge cluster, mirrors, cooling system and intercooler, brakes, etc. Stored indoors. Body is 9.5/10, interior that isn't missing is 9/10. Rolls. Has 2 mazdaspeed MS-01 wheels, other two I forget. I have a set of RPF1's I was going to put on it.

$10-15k. Sitting since 99' and incomplete parts means lots and lots of money to get it up and going.

@Terrh Posts some pics in marketplace. The car is in Ontario? Does it have clean title or can it be re-registered?

Good candidate to swap in drive train, etc., from RHD.

@Nasman I watch a few makes on BAT and carsandbids. Prices have gotten more erratic over the summer. Primo cars are still fetching primo prices (all stock, special editions, original or restored condition) but there's a steady stream of solid FDs to be had in the low 30s. Low 40s bumps you into the very-nice-car range.

Here is one to watch closely as long as you have an idea how much the replacement cost of a motor is in your area.

Relocated to bin. Picture 83. I wonder if he had more mods at one point and put it back to mostly stock for the sale.

List it on BAT. 1993 Mazda RX7, needs chassis and a few other items.

Are you talking about BAT in general or FD's?

I ask because I haven't seen any special edition FDs sold on BAT.

I was using the term loosely. I meant more desirable models, R1, R2, etc.

Different car. They actually reference the one that just sold on BAT:

"LAST COMP SOLD ON BAT FOR $107,500"

Though it only went for $102,500...

Hey, this ebay car has actual rotary compression numbers!
