Congrats. That's an awesome find.

 

ok

 

very nice

Try not to put any badges. I'd just do springs and rims. But, you'll mod it once you start getting smoked repeatedly.

congratulations

 

I think what the guys here are saying is that if an FD out there qualifies as a collector car, yours is one of the very few. We tend to get sentimental about these cars and seeing one like yours get modified too much can be very saddening. If it were my car (which it isn't - so do as you wish), I'd keep it stock with minimal reliability mods - as you know, there were very few CYM's to begin with and many of them have been wrecked, have high mileage, overly modified, ... , you get the idea.

 

Well stated.

 

mine has high mileage and is overly modified! hahaha. it is the best.

 

congrats on the car. i might be making a thread like this sometime soon...

anyway just wanted to put my $0.02 in on this thread... The way i see it is that the FD, (even mint condition examples of CYM's) will more than likely never really become a "collectors item." It may someday command a higher price, but it will never be on Barret Jackson going for hundreds of thousands, haha... My advice to you would be to start slow (and use Mazda Flying M badges, not Efini) but if you have the desire to start getting serious with some mod's, just keep all your stock parts, and don't do anything you can't UNDO later... like going with some crazy widebody or something - It's a gorgeous car, ENJOY IT!

 

No body kits... Probably will do the 99 a spec if anything because I love those lights on the front. As far as badges you guys are right, I like the flying M better.

 

Post up the pics with your other cars

 

no please do not do that to your car keep it original, please!!!!!!!!!!
as a concerned and fellow CYM owner, your car is perfect the way it is.

sorry but if you wanted a modified CYM, i would have sold you mine

 

Kits wont be in the near future if they are in it at all. I think I am just going to keep it original... i still want a beefy bov though.

 

Dont worry about it being an original CYM. Not tuning it would be a waste. Yellow FD possesses the best "pure sports feeling." Modify it however you wish, and enjoy your hot rodding lifestyle my friend!

 

Please don't replace the badges, ok? Other than the cat-back and taillights the car is OEM pristine and belongs in the Smithsonian. We know you have other cars in your corral but to rotary-heads like us, um well....

 

I probably will keep it stock... less money, less worries, more enjoyment

 

I just asked because it seems that a lot of our cars, even stock, have some minor issues just because our cars are so old. Just a question if his car has any issues.

 

Was that the one that was selling for like 30 k in auto trader? there was a CYM with 15K on it for like 30K in washington state like yesterday LOL

 

Congratulations Xearo, on picking up a beautiful car! It's nice to have more FD company in Sac - especially cars of this quality! BTW, my car is a '94 PEG that will be in the Autorama show at Cal Expo next weekend. If you get the chance to go, stop by and say hi! It'll be at the AR PERFORMANCE booth along with a Saleen (Mustang) and a Viper. AR is a new garage/ tuner shop opening up in Old Elk Grove in February...

I would leave it stock besides all the reliability mods and maybe full exhaust and intake. I never liked the Mazda "toilet bowl" emblems, efini emblems look good but I think the best oem looking emblems would be the newer "Flying M".

I have both the '99 Spec. front end and "flying M" emblems on my CYM and I think it makes the car look even better than stock, but whether you keep it stock or go crazy in modifications have fun, thats what its all about!

 

I'm curious. How is it like to drive a rx7 after driving you ferrari?

 

We should get all the people in sac together to have a little rx7 hang out or something, I think that would be fun. Ive only driven my dads ferrari once and it was mind blowing. Im sure Ill get along just fine with this rx7... keep in mind my daily driver for 2.5 years was an 03 celica gts. Not a bad car, just not enough power. This FD should hold my interest for many years to come. I would come to that show in a heartbeat, but I have to travel out of town that weekend for some family business. Its important family business or I wouldnt be going... I guess I have to wait for the next show.

 

debadging..wheels and possible 99 spec lip is about the only thing id agree too with a cym...
would have to disagree on the modding aspect.. theres absolutely no need to keep her stock unless your plan is for resale...
mod away if your intentions are for keeps or if your satisfied with the stock power...
dont get hung up on the mileage thing....

 

yes i agree! Fear of messing with it because of its condition should not exist. The car can be made twice as better with custom tuning. Enjoy it.

 

Congrats. It looks sweet, clean and with that mileage you cant go wrong.

 

Congrats!! Nice CYM!!

 

as much as im a extreme show and go guy i agree go with the racinng beat dual exhaust .
