[SteGlanza2014]

Hi all am new to this forum I have just sold my glanza v now want a rx7,
I have seen a bone stock Fd 1999 4/5 condition and is 12grand is it worth it ,
Need advice as I have seen other cars that tickle my intrest but thought a bone stock would be perfect for a big build.

Has no one got an opinion on how much a bone stock Fd should cost,
Is it worth the gamble its currently in japan, and would be through jm imports,
Ino the company is fantastic but is 12grand worth a stock Fd or would it be more sensible buying a cheaper on all ready modified and completely different from how I want it thanks

12k is a lot mate! You could get a 99 onwards uk for that...and prob warranty...5k would get a 93/94 twin already in the uk. 10k could see you a well specced single monster in the uk.

12k is a good price for a grade 4/5 99spec mate. Completely oem 99specs have gone for quite a bit more. You can get one that\'s been previously modified and is a good idea if your planning a monster build.

99+ oem seem to be fetching the best money.

Well I know I can get some cheaper but it had 48000km, white Completely standard 99 spec, and most of the parts I want are on the 99 spec and are hard to find eg 99 spec side skirts.
Plans are single turbo (unsure yet), apexi GT spec exhaust, BC racing coilovers with 1 inch cups as a lot of speed bumps where I live, either half bridge or full Bridgeport, hks fcon vpro gold, amount intercooler, feed rear arches, shine side lips, rear diffuser, bn bonnet, advan gd 2s and spirit r interior
Aiming for about 400-450 whp what do you think guys

If your plans are as above matey, I wouldnt bother paying the extra premium for a tidy standard car. Go for nadz\'s car or one of the other 99+ modified examples for sale on the forums, that way you can sell on what parts you dont want to fund your own taste. You will need a pretty penny for the spirit R interior.

Yes I have found a few examples and for brand new seats looking at 2k each shipped with the carbon kevlar back, I may settle for a mazdaspeed interior with rear seats if anyone has intrerior  for sale

Hi, if you have a good budget, I can get a car made up to the spec you want, new engine, single turbo, V-mount and supporting fuelling, mapped, full bush kit etc to have car as tight as they should feel

by sounds of your plans. why even bother looking for a 99 spec or over. you\'ll be paying a premium for a car which, in all honesty is no better than a 95 car. as you are planning on ripping out half the parts that make it better than early car anyhow.

you could get a low mileage 95 car with fresh engine for 5k, or one with dead engine for 2500. then you have a nice chunk of cash for mods.

i find it funny people selling 99 spec cars ,basing the whole sale on the 99 aspect. but they have removed everything that made it better than a 96 car with mods.

i personally wouldn\'t spend the extra on a 99 spec car unless it is completely stock and you were planning on leaving it that way..
