My FD3 was broken into...... (but there is light at the end of the tunnle)

Within the last week someone broke into my 93 Rx7. The pretty much stole anything of value on the interior (made out with like $3500 in stereo equipment, then about $2200 on damaging stock interior pannels) really blows.... So if you know anyone that came up with some "new" but used equipment lately let me know.
But as for the light at the end of the tunnel. I have orderd all new interior parts through Premier Mazda (so my interior will look new again!) and since its going to be at the shop for a little while any way I went ahead and orderd a new motor for it. So hopefully in a months time the FD will have all new interior and brand new motor! I also think im going to order some sleak headlights while im at it..
Any suggestions or comments feel free to let me know.

Don't know what kind of sleek lights you are looking at, but there are at least 2 guys on here selling the C-West kit.

Sorry about that man. I hate having people mess with my cars. Never anything more than an egging of my FD, but I;ve had cars stolen... Not a pleasant experience!

It looks like you're not selling anymore? Maybe someone who looked at the car took your $hit???

I hate thieves, sorry to hear of your loss.

So you using the insurance money to buy a new engine, and planning on buying interior later?

Are you thinking about getting a crate motor From Mazda? II didn't know you could do that anymore)

good luck.

I also love the Z, I still wish I had my 510

P.S. Which Mazda Dealership do you work at, I'd like to do business with someone who is in the know when it comes to FD's unlike most people that work for mazda...

I'm also thinking about a new motor, could you PM me with prices, or maybe I could swing by and talk to you at work, if you prefer.
