Just like an FD3S Mazda RX7

[GSXRJJordan]

C6's have dropped into the teens, and are fantastic cars. Cheaper than doing a nice FD, that's for sure.

2005 C6's are still around $23k in my area, but yeah man, I'm so tired of the whole "buy a cheap car and build it to some other car's performance benchmark" thing. Just buy the damn car that's already at that performance benchmark! Certainly, by the time I put enough money into an S13 to perform comparable to a C6 and be aesthethically pleasing enough, I could almost afford the damn Vette and had modern accomodations to start off with.

I'm waiting until the 2008 C6's get cheaper. Personally, I don't think I need a side budget for modifications anymore with a car the weighs less than a 350Z But has 430hp at the crank.

the thing about jz swaps is there always that long ass shifter..

and relocating the steering rack always causes bump steer issues..

did the OP saw Initial D for the first time and fell in love with the FD? lol get an FD, you'll never find another car that handles exactly the same. like everyone said, if u buy a cheaper car and fix it up in the end you already spent about enough to get an FD. i know because i have an s13 with over $10k+ put into it. and i know i will never get that much back when i sell it because there are stupid low ballers on Zilvia.

You can convert your early FD tails to look JUST LIKE THAT for $10 or so in black paint and lens sealant.

The bumper/bumper support conversion is a little pricier if you care about the front.

Yea I already knew that btw and it looks like shit if you paint them yourself trust me on that one.
Best to buy it all and do it the right way the first time which puts it at about $3200 just to do it alone.
I was going off the pic posted not by converting a USDM FD.
Point is: comparing a fd to a mr2 is suicide

After I had a brand new rotary from mazda which was then street ported with only 10k the apex seals were leaking again.

If you can tough it through that then that fun to drive factor is just over the top let alone the rarity (at least in my area). If I had the money to keep another rx7 afloat I would in a heartbeat.



Yes but the problem is once you get to the heavier modified stage it then again becomes just as unreliable as an rx7. And for someone who sounds on a budget the amount to put in to equal an fd would near near the cost of getting one as previously stated. Granted at that amount the 240 would have more power, but still...

I find it funny that you say if you cold keep another fd you would in a heartbeat, and your name is camarao whatever, just throw a ls in it, and you can have all that and a bag of chips.

Corvette's are ugly as shit, has that been covered yet?

If only I was mechanically inclined and knew about Rotary engines. It sucks to have to ship out your motor to a shop to have it worked on because no mechanic around the way don't know sh%t about it.

Your opinion is factually inaccurate. They just need a little more wheel fitment love.
