One thing I DO know, is that the sequential turbos will not stay on the car. I'm planning on a new motor w/single conversion. This way, god forbid anything happened to that engine, the old motor will be on standby

I was driving behind one of my buildings the other day and saw a CYM in person for the first time and I was amazed how much I love this color.
I am still going to go BB again... but if I could afford 2 like some people..... CYM or SS would be my 2nd and 3rd.
oh... btw.... the CYM was bone stock or appeard to be and parked next to a red supra with a tiny *** front mount.
I'm in AZ and work at UOP... any one on the board?

I think younger drivers like cars that stand out, more than older drivers do. How often do you see an older driver driving something brightly colored, or tricked out. The exception would be "hot rods", where almost all of the owners are "older".
Age makes a difference in taste. You like the CYM, and are under 25............ Thanks for supporting my point, even though you didn't want to

so once i get to be an old fart like you i'll lose all my taste and personal style and start buying bland and boring colored cars just because that's what old people do? it's called personal preference, and it doesn't change with age. i'll always love red and yellow sports cars. whether or not i choose to buy one will not be based on anything but the car itself, not how old i am.
the reason you don't see older people with brightly colored cars is simply because WHEN DO YOU SEE OLD PEOPLE WITH SPORTS CARS. maybe a few have corvettes, mustangs, etc... but most older people drive more sensible cars. and i dont think i've ever seen a yellow Caddy.

Step down off your pedestal. Just because you have a white FD and you like white doesn't mean you are right and everyone else is wrong. And what's this about everyone that likes CYM are under 25? If that's not the most ignorant comment I’ve ever heard on this forum, then I don’t know what is. I’m just saying that liking/disliking a color has NOTHING to do with age. But if you posted a thread about white FD's and someone came in talking about how great CYM's looked, and wouldn't stop posting about how white ones just weren't as cool, don't you think you would get a little pissed off?

Hey Adam,
Your theory is pathetic. I'm 37 & own a mint CYM. I wouldn't want a bland ice-creamsicle WHITE FD if you paid me to drive it (neither do most on this board as their "1st color choice"). However, its your taste - not everyone else's.

Here is a sample of some selling prices from Clean & Fast:
http://www.cleanandfast.com/sold.html
Although the condition and mileage isn't indicated for those cars, CYM does demand about a $2000 premium. On top of that, they tend to be kept in better condition and also have lower mileage, so overall they sell for more.
My personal opinion, I'd rather have a '95 model in any color over a CYM from '93 (or a SSM from '93, my favorite color). The premium you pay for a '95 does buy you some functionality (ie all the service bulletins have been applied, and there are A LOT of them) whereas the premium for a CYM is purely based on demand. Something to think about.

Im under 25 and love the cym think it is the best yellow ever put on a car but for me my first choice will always be black. Even though it does fade bad in this Texas sun when it washed and waxed there is not a better color on a car than black it just looks so clean especially at night. You can hide things better on black as well i.e. body kits and such. Some body kits just dont look good with certain colors but those body kits are all hidden with a black car. Just my two cents.

The best part about looking for a CYM is that, more than likely, the car will be CHERRY!! So far, the most miles I've seen one have was 50K. Most of them look like they just came off the showroom. To me, condition and rarity are more important that availibility and price. I would be one of those folks who would be willing to pay a premium for a genuine CYM R1.

I got the chance to see a bone stock MINT CYM at PFS (close to $20k)...When Ryan started it up, I could barely tell it was on! Then he REVed the engine a little...wow, FD's can quiet. Almost made me want to put the pre-cat on, hahaha...not really. But it would be nice to have a modded 7 and a stock 7.
