Photos of my FD

Enjoy

Nice looking car .

I really like my Blitz SMIC. A nice increase in performance, and great fitment. To keep a "stock" look, I filled the top lettering with JB weld. Then I sanded it, and painted it with black (high temp) bbq paint. It came out pretty good, and doesn't get noticed by smog techs. I know its legal, but don't I want to draw any attention to anything. If you decide to modify your airbox, let me know. Click the link in my sig for some info on my kit.

Nice car, Adam

I remember seeing your car at the tune day. I thought it was one of nicest, cleanest looking 7's I have seen.

How many miles on her now? Have you even cracked 30K yet?

Just testing the water to see how much my car worth if it is for sale.

Car is 93 VR R-1 - Clean Title
Michigan Car and has current CA registration (Smog Legal)
38K original miles and runs perfect
Repainted Professionally (2 years ago)
OEM Sideskirt installed last Dec
Exterior 9 out of 10
Interior 9 out of 10

Suspension:
18" Gram Lights 57F-Pro w/ S-03 (less than 5K miles and still have original box and paper for the wheels)
Zeal B6 - Street rated spring (Less than 10K miles)
Corner Balance and Alignment done by West End last Nov
New Front Upper A-Arm installed last Nov to get rid of the clunking noise

Engine:
PFC w/commander (Tuned by Steve Kan 280 rwhp @ 14psi last April, Car never run over 12psi after the tuning)
Blitz SMIC
HKS TP
FEED Torque Brace
HKS DP
HKS Carbon Ti
Mobile 1 every 2500 miles

Drivetrain:
Neo Oil in Tran and Diff
Smooth transmission (no 5th synch problem)

Interior:
Defi BF Boost and Water Temp Gauge
Autometer Dual Full Pillar modify for 60mm Defi Gauge

Only problem is the AC thermoswitch went bad last Sept and I am too lazy to fix. The AC blows cold and I just jumped the wire for right now. Oh yea, recharge with R-12 last Sept too.

I think that's all I remember. Car is as clean as described, you have to see the actual car to believe it.

Asking $25,000, what do you guys think?

I'm sure the car's worth 25k, but I think it would take a while to find a buyer at that price. The FD market seems to be young and poor lately.

I see the FD market is declining. But lately I have seen some high prices bid on Ebay.

25K sounds reasonable...
most people prefer their car stock.
so i think its be better if you part it out and sell as bone stock

Parting out is an option but I am too lazy to do that. All the parts are top quality and I am sure I can sell all parts easily. Oh the car has silicon hose job too.

Just testing the water.

Thanks

Your car is exceptionally clean. Like others have said, if you have the patience to wait for the right buyer you may get lucky.

If I had 25K to burn, I would buy it.
