Salvage / Theft Recovery FD3S's

As you guys know, the FD definitely has the best of everything, but for us people working on minimum, a clear title is often out of the question.

Therefore, I have tried talking to auto insurance brokers, but since the FD is getting old and since it's rare, I haven't seen one available!

I NEED YOUR HELP GUYS!!!

If any1 knows of a running FD with a theft recovery or crashed salvage titles, please post!!!!!! Thanks a million!!!!!!

I have seen many wonders done with crashed FD's

THEY DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE, NOT TO BE MADE INTO BAKED BEAN CANS!!!!!!

Funny thing is that car hasn't gone up for bid yet at the salvage auction. The person listing it does NOT own it.

It goes up for live auction on 6/2/04 in Sacramento Ca, you have to be a dealer to bid on it.

but for us people working on minimum
I hate to say, but even if you can afford to buy the car on "minimum" I highly doubt you'll be able to maintain the car on "minimum". I hope your not talking minimum wage.

Best of luck to you.

I can't seem to grasp how drifting is using an RX-7's handling ability to it's full potention. I don't get why people want FD's to slide around either when there are better choices out there. Oh well. Also, if you want a theft/salvage FD... LOOK. Nobody here is going to do the work for you.

what people don't understand is that to "drift" wildly in the fashion so popular these days, the car's great handling is somewhat broken to get the car to slide around. too stiff suspension and the like to start sliding early and keep sliding.

while a smooth transition from grip is nice, it's not from what i've observed, an FD trademark. atleast not the US spec cars. (they snap oversteer)

Sorry for dragging up an old thread. The car is on Ebay again, this time notice Mazdarecycling is selling it. They are a ligit seller.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6327

The other guys trying to "sell" it just steal pics of Insurance Auto Auction's" website then try to sell it before it goes up for bid.

The enitire Ebay ad from the first guys trying to sell it was a fraud... Read here...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...441226&rd=1

Here is another car they have for sale right now, they don't own it either... It is at a salvage auction, they are trying to find out what people will pay for the car then buy it knowing it is sold already.

Does that make any sense? Sorta like listing someone else's car on Ebay and buying it from them after the Ebay auction finishes.
