FD in july issue of magazine.

Ok so back in july or june of this year there was an FD on a magazine cover (i wanna say super street) And in the article it said that the owner comes and posts here every now and then. Well long story short I wanna know if anyone can put me in touch with him so I can get his color code for a FC project that I am doing.


any help would be appreciated

He wants 40k for his car, with a 13b on BNR's. If his car even pulls over 30k, that shows that there really is a market for modified fd's with mild engine work.

All that and the best he could get was 21k? There is a stock one near my house for 16k.

I don't know how those Supra's are able to get in the 40s and 50s for their modded rides.

maybe because they are putting out 900+whp and are still more reliable then a 400whp rx7.

As long as we're being honest...they do it while looking better, too.

uhmn.... I disagree 100% with you. IMO very few cars out do the FD in the looks department.

Besides I think the supra is one ugly *** car. Don't get me wrong I think it's a badass car, and it's ugly looks is part of the aura that it has.

I have to agree. The 7 is one of the best looking cars I have ever seen. Its why I got one over a supra. I cant think of any car that looks better IMO. I also like smaller nimble cars as well.

Ha ha YES!!!! I have sparked a Supra vs. FD debate!

The Supra is badass, but the price is ridiculous. People are selling a 14 year old Supra turbos with 140,000 miles for like 28k. That's just not worth the money.

I'm pleased with my Mazda, with the money I've saved I have been able to make give it a complete motor overhaul with single turbo and I'm still 10k short of a stock Supra.
