yeah stock cars always sell for more than modded ones, plus used parts sell at a pretty good price, better than you would think, so reselling your used parts gets back the majority which in my opinion is totally worth it, and your original rx7 will sell for much more stock, and in most cases your car is resold for more money than you bought it for due to the increase in their value, so you almost always break even with FD's if you know what you're doing. not the case with rx8s, where you take a 8k hit on average if you bought new *around* msrp but thats the risk you take whenever you buy any kind of new car....

I love this video though

She realize that the wagon was better for here to move the kids around and the street where my kids school is at is not good for the 8. I'm also getting very interested in the Mazsport turbo kit for the 8. Next I be putting some coil overs on the 8!!!
