Finally - New Silver FD

Hey Guys,

Thought I would share a pic of my new 1993 silver FD. 96,000 miles on chassis, parts listed below replaced @ 80,000.

It's currently on its way to TX to Gotham for:

New Engine, Stage II Street Port
Power FC+Commander
Flywheel
ACT Clutch
Pettit SMIC

List of existing goodies:

Petit Cold Air Intake
Petit Unlimited ECU - **Will Sell, being replace by PFC
Petit DP
Petit AST
Mazda Comp Radiator
Shane Racing Resonated Mid-Pipe
Racing Beat Cat Back Dual Tip
Rebuilt Turbo’s
Koni Yellows
Eibach Pro-Kit Springs
Power Slot rotors
Goodridge SS Braided Brake Lines
Hawk HPS+ Pads
B&M Short Shifter
Cusco Strut Tower Brace
Racing Beat Sway Bars Front & Rear
Racing Beat Front Sway Bar Reinforcement
AT Italia Riva 8x17F 9.5x17R
Brand New Bridgstone S0-3s

I feel like a kid again, so excited I'm about to pop. I have a feeling the next month will be a long one.

Congrats on the car. Most of the fun is modding it yourself tho.

$10,000

Was budgeting to have about $13-14 into it. But you know how that goes....engine out, mine as well pour in the upgrades. Sticking with the stock rebuilt turbos for now (only 16K on ceramic coated rebuilt turbos), but the BNR's are looking tempting.

Yada yada yada, I want, I want, I want. I'm officially welcome to your worlds.

Sounds like a good deal if the interior is as nice as the exterior.

Don't crash it!!!!

Interior is in above average condition. Plastic is in great shape with the normal minor wear on the center console.

I have detailed pics if you would like to see, leave an email or PM me.

10K Sounds like you got a great deal. The market for 7s has really gone down I guess.

Great deal on the best color. Welcome to the pain and the pleasure of FD ownership.

Steve and Rich will take good care of you.

I sort of agree on this. Where I live, I have recently seen a 80k mile FD go for 16,500 USD and a 44k mile for 19,000 USD. These two cars were bone stock. Another thing I want to add, the 80k mile one was auto (wtf). I think eBayers are just being a bunch of cheap asses and want the car for cheap--dirt cheap, cheaper than sh*t cheap which they will never get (ones with reserve of course). They expect to pay 6k to 8k on eBay. Heh cheap bastards? If you want to sell your car and want the money you expect for it, don't sell it on eBay. Sale it locally or another place. Just my 2 cents.
