ok here is the deal
I have a 1993 black/tan Fd base model with about 90k miles.
mods are:
ported engine by MVA, marcos acosta (sic)
m2 intercooler
alum ast
mazda comp rad
cai
pfs cb
pfs boost gauge
ss DP
PFC and commander
front strut brace
act clutch
ss brake lines 4 corner
brembo slotted rotors 4 corners
hawk hp + pads 4 corners
battery relo to pass rear compartment
tokico coil overs
extra set of stock rims
sure I am missing something else.
Anyway the deal is I would sell this car and buy an 1988 Lotus esprit turbo! white on white
Offers on the FD and advice needed!

A 1988 Esprit? To take the place of an FD? No thanks.
Poorer handling/braking, not as much power, not any better looking, not as comfortable, and even more expensive to try to maintain. Just my opinion.
Your FD would probably go for around $19-20k here in the Bay Area, provided the paint and interior are in good condition.

Interesting, I would think the lotus would handle better, I tought I remembered my fathers being very comfortable. I love my FD but it is killing me since I put sooooo much money into it and now that it is perfect I am not really enjoying it. Nothing is wrong with it but I am just not as jazzed driving it as I once was.
