Hmmm interesting FD for sale ?

Well Gurg I would say you did the right thing, lots of cosmetics on that beasty and maybe not to everyones taste. Looks like you would be paying for the paint job, those wheels [everyone has an opinion] and a body kit you love or hate, dont seem to have much in the way of go, cant see the engine making mega HP anyone paying 10+k for that needs help. In my honest opinion:Laugh

I dunno about the engine. Looks like its been very well put together and although its clearly running twin turbos, you don\'t know what they are. I remember seeing one in the states that was running sequential to4s and making over 500 hp.

The exterior however is just nasty.

The main reason i said no was the front vielside nose is not to my taste and to try to match the paint wpuld have been very diffecult without paint codes and i bet this aint got one !!!

Cant remember what twins it was running tbh but the quote was approx 490bhp @ 1.2bar or something, the rear lights was another bad point for me too.

Looks nice from the side profile but thats about it :Tongue1

19000 miles on a 1993 car? erm yes??

Try 4000 Miles since new on similar age.

They are out there, just way above the average prices.

Lots of nice bits on the car, Gurj is right. The price it sold for was around £8k landed and registered here.

However long are the intercooler pipes though, the left one seems to be heading out to the wing !!! The FMIC isnt actually that big ! Also the induction pipes are a good deal longer than standard which I believe changes the way the turbos spool up ? Also where is the cold air coming from ?

Side profile of the car looks great, wheels are a tad big. For a showcar why dont they put what the wheels are ?!!!?

WTF possessed them to put a hideous blue gaiter on the car though, matching it to the rollcage is just odd !!!! Also why fit white dials and then black aftermarket ones doh.

10k buys you a really good RX7 these days, I am not sure this is what I would buy if I had that money.

I\'m not sure the Induction pipe work will make too much Diffrence as long as its got a Good Cool air feed. But the IC pipes? Whats going on there, i don\'t understand why tuners Cut and Weld pipes like that rather then buying in nice smooth bent pipe. Then there\'s wy they have left the Plastic cross over pipe? you would have thought if they where going to all that messing about with the IC pipes you\'d get rid of that and put a 90deg elbow on the Y pipe and your away.

TBH i\'ve always wanted a go in a car with big long IC pipes like that, just out of intrest to see what the Responce is atualy like? i could imagen its not that hot but i wounder if its as bad as i think it would be???

Not all the impossible, just rare. I picked up a 1993 UK car with 18,500 back in 2003. Fully documented. A lot more likely over there considering numbers and the fact it\'s a show car.

Thats good going. Think I\'d rather balance money and age out with a newer year myself to get some of the development revisions out of the way. Picking up one with a proven <20k is very impressive though. I\'ve often seen 15yr old imports that say they have 20 - 40k but very rarely with the documents to prove it.

[m4drx]

wasnt this car at the ptm show at santa pod?

two young guys driving it?

all i remember (if i remember right) is them arguing that it is worth x amount of money and the 1992 show car for veilside not 2004!! why would they show that in 2004?
