Just trying to decide whether to ad an FD to my collection...??? I have been looking on ebay as I seem to buy all my motor vehicles there, I do not want to spend a fortune other wise I will have to sell something else. I have just seen this example item number "4611171406" I hate the rear exhaust, dont mind the interior of the exterior colour, and it has a sensible spoiler on. But......... can you tell me if the the listing sounds. umm well true. I dont care for the 0-60 figure. I\'m sure that is made up dont care if it need work doing on it, but what about the rest. does it sound plauseable.. and worth a go at obviously the lowest price.... thanks for any info or advise on this model................ :cool

should make life easier !!
sounds OK though - and 300 bhp - ooohhh fast !
the 0-60 could be nearly right with that power
ask who did the rebuild first though :D
The sideskirts are mazda optional and the exhaust is not a dragger but may be another hks version. Also be very carefull running 1 bar boost with the re amemiya ecu if there is no cat as it will not last too long. 300hp flywheel is easily achievable with the mods listed at 1 bar, maybe more if the engine still has good compression as stated. The red panels and seats are optional on the touring x model but the black leather sections have been custom added. ;)
thanks for that, I have just returned from Manchester, The listing has ended now but i did have a reply from the owner, as follows...
I have no dyno sheet but I also own a subaru impreza and its running 280bhp, the rx7 is easily 300bhp compared to that. There is service history, but no proof of engine rebuild, I could get a compression test done to prove that is running good compression, I hope that this is ok for you, this car is my pride and joy .
I may email him back for a chat, but what is one of these realistically worth without any proof of an engine rebuild but say with good compression?? any ideas. I do not want to insult the man with a derogatory offer.
I would pay no more than 4.5k.
Damn Just found this one as well. Similar sort of uncertanties with the engine job... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4611415467&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
not sure if that link will work. The only thing is that it does not have leather.. But I do like the wheels :god
that car is for sale on here for 5.5k
i would keep shopping matey - there are better deals to be done
i missed out on one a few weeks back on ebay for £2.8K - i was gutted :(
was going to look at it in oldham but the guy sold it before i got there
if you have the cash and the time - then keep hunting - you will find one eventually - just dont buy the first one you look at
for advice on buying an FD drop GRIZZLY a PM he has just bought one - he might tell you the pitfalls - tell him i sent you :D
Thanks for that Grinder... i emailed the one from yesterday, but at present no reply, I did notice someone had bid at the last minute, so they may have already done a deal. I have just found that one you mentioned, there is also a slightly modified one in red with the same wheels i will see if that is still available, and depending on the extent of the damage..maybe worth a look, but then I thought maybe I should get an XJR.. decitions decitions.....
the red one with the damage .. i nearly buoght that when it was in once peice - again - it WAS for sale on here IIRC :
madden - sold the car
japsam - he is the one selling it on ebay
you can read all about it on here matey :D :D :D
