Thank you...
i am very pleased with the car..especially the power it makes. For a 25 year old car it handles extremely well in stock trim and I can only imagine the performance once upgrades are done to such a car.
i have other cars for the track and racing and intend to keep this car clean, tidy, and stock.
it will be detailed, in, out and motor...new wheels and performance tires and relegated to spirited Sunday drives....ok...maybe one track session just to compare...lol

Happy Trails/Tracks

What does a good condition FD warrant in price now a days? I've seen everything from 15k+ seems doable

One just sold on "Bring a Trailer" auction site ..left hand drive....1993 rx7 twin turbo, 60,000 miles, silver/black interior,very nice condition but had door repainted...was considered well bought and a good deal at $23,500USD....
$15-&18,000CDN buys you a nice, right hand drive import from Japan...

Every car sold on BaT gets a "well bought" comment. $23,500USD was an absurd price for that car.

Anyway, you cannot compare CAD and USD cars, neither RHD vs LHD. You could (obviously) buy the same RHD import in the US for the same money ... well not in cali but elsewhere.

Nice find! I say just restore it and drive until you feel the need to upgrade a certain part of the car. That's how you truly get to know it.

The price of these is starting to climb...one sold today on bring a trailer for $39,999 USD PLUS a buyer's fee...1993 Touring model with 18,000 miles, in very nice condition....
Have to find a high miler that was beaten on if you want to rod it out and track it....nice original examples that are stock are commanding excellent $$$..
