I love the '99-spec look, but you shouldn't have altered such a rare car. You've actually depreciated the "value" of the car.

I can't believe there were only 16 ever made! Hold on to that one, bro. That's quite a find.

If I was getting another FD.. hands down it would be the 2002 rz. Not the rarest, but damn well the nicest to get. IMO

Well I went back and forth on it for awhile but in the end this is what I decided. .. for one I am not a real collector of auto mobiles just an enthuisest(SPELLING)....there is a difference...my car is highly maintained and well cared for indoors and never sees rain....I love my car... and anyone that has one, should... not contemplating if they should have purchased a supra or not ...in the end when it is all said and done if I were to ever sell, I would go all back to stock...I did the install my self so it would not be hard at all...I do not really care about if I have depreciated the value of the car because I do not plan to sell so the value does not matter...it is worth what ever someone is willing to pay for it ....I do not think you should chop it up , and that I have not done...some may turn away but if you were to see my car most would not pass on the oppertunity....drive these cars !!!! they were ment to be driven , not locked up and just looked at...why lock it up and save it for the next guy to enjoy....screw that!!!! I am going to enjoy this car untill its end....no matter what production count it is....you know, a week ago I was at a salvage yard and there was two fd shells sitting on the ground....totally stripped of everything....I just sat there looking at it ... it made me sad to see that ....just rotting away... they were chopped up but still....sad to see...the point is you only live once so drive the freakin car!!!!

I just paid 22K for a 95 Chaste-White with under 12K original miles...I guess there were only 33 imported in 95...so I have been told. I went to the Mazda dealership in it to get some coolant and it was like the building was on fire they all came running so fast. There was a guy there looking at RX-8's and I think I blew the sale....one more guy who has seen RX-Heaven!

You can't get any rarer than the SP. And that's including the Spirit R.

BS, I saw the one you speak of, serial number 07 or something like that 01 or 02...
It was / is at Mazda R&D in Irvine, Ca. Last time I looked at it was Sevenstock7.... I believe...

It'd better be a museum piece, becuase you won't be able to register it here....

that one was just regular white.

as a curiosity they did have a red base 92 fd in the back, serial number was 16.... it had different badging. it was prolly a test car, or a press car or something
