Not trying to start an argument.

Nor do I really give a fuck.

Just making a observation.

Wouldn't have thought it was worth anybody getting their panties in a knot about.

We apologize for the interruption

Please continue with your regular programming .

That might be the case, if your in the same city.

It might be a sellers market at the moment, but you shouldn't have to chase the seller up for details that should be in the auction.

It just shows how crazy things have got, when someone is willing to drop $32k on 3 photos and 3 lines of description.

Yep, always makes me laugh.

So many people do that .

Wants big $$$ only puts up 3 pictures .

Spotted this yesterday going into safe r brakes, did pine very much.

$32k, but very tidy looking,

I know the prices for old rotas has gone through the roof.

But anyone that pays $40k for that rx3 is fucked in the head.

It looks average at best.

Yeah +1 to japwags.

you would use it more if you keep as a race car , but set up how you want , and not to any series specific specifications .

hill climbs , track days etc.

And they, and the rx2 coupe, would have been much cooler if they had been pillarless like the rx4.

Not fair, you have some, I have none.

Pea knuckle war it is then, warm up that thumb .

Dibs on the wheels.

Have to wonder of the authenticity of the claim of multiple rx7's brought in from the US with no idea of what to do with them or what parts are worth.

Would love a tidy og gen1 rx7. But no desire for lhd, unless muscle car.

I can recommend a guy for that if you get stuck.

Lhd make the best race cars.

I wonder no more. Thanks.

Still like lowered trailer.

The right amount of low isn't always practical.

Damn, that is a low trailer.

I may have to slam mine.

Wonder if the doors can still be opened.

looked super tidy.

No good for me. 

Would take very little time for hotwires and rotary to make an appearance.

How much extra $$  is the new seller making ?

Anyone heard of AVR Peformance in Asburton/cantabury?

Pretty keen to do yet another rebuild on the FC but want to go down a different path. Plans:

Link computer or similar

Front mount

Remove all emissions and air con

Mild porting perhaps with a goal of 280-300 horses.

Also adjusties and cert, but will look at other places closer for this.

Redo factory trim.

$15-$20k budget.

It already owes me over $30k including original purchase price. Yes I could buy another FC for the money I plan to spend, but this will hopefully be the last rebuild I do. The body on this FC is the best I've seen.

I'm not buying any other chrome bumper Mazdas as I live within minutes of some of the best fanging roads in the country and leaf spring rears can get the fuck out. Besides, two shitty old Mazdas are enough. I would buy a FD3S but chances are id still be in for a rebuild at some stage which would put me in the same position I'm in now. Besides I think FC's look cool.

Ideas please kids.

Whats the end goal for the FC ?

An appreciating classic or a screw that shit I want fun car ?

For me the latter would be the go.

with just as much spent on suspension and wheels/tyres as the engine.

loose the back seat and as much unnecessary weight as you can, a couple of these http://racetech.co.nz/shop/seats/RTroad-street-seats

and your 300hp will feel like 500hp

Or there is always bags and stance.

Greed and idiots.

Why the fuck are people paying these prices.

And it's not just mazda's, take a look a anything pre 1980 on trade me. The asking prices are mad, but people are falling over themselves to out bid each other for them.

WOW $11,000 for oversized simmons, tints and some stickers.

He is, taking the piss, right ?

Love the x19's.

Mate has a lhd one, was his first car, such a fun little car. Still sitting in his storage shed.

might have to get him to get it out, relive the old days.

Problem is, Aussies think this is a New Zealand rota.

The real stupid thing is, under all that crap, it looks to be a bloody nice car.

Ditch the 4wd lift kit, the hot wheels 24 inch wheels, the naf pac sticker, the pointless roll cage and those bloody gt mirrors they all insist on, and you would have a clean tidy 3 sedan with no doubt a crazy fast engine.

Oh and they probably fucked up the interior too.

RX2 sedan for sale on trade me , for anyone after one.

looks to be a bit rough, but a better starting point than that rusty $7k 616.

still over priced tho.

The p heads must be out in force at the moment.

RX2SDN was stolen last week, and last night RDROTA , lhd rx7 was stolen in chch.

Mazda's must be back on the hit list.
