Oh man, I did not know there is another spec for the FD. I knew the Spirit R but not the other type. It is a very nice car to own. If you are constriant with something and can't keep the Evo and the FD, I would say trade it. Try to keep the Evo tho

I wanted to get a FD before I purchased my Evo also, but looking at the technical and the mechanical side of the car (especially in the States), it does not worth the extra time and effort to get it run stable like Evo does in a long run.

Yea i would luv an Evo to death. But that car is sexy and it has awesome racing background. I would do it. Though is it the same price range as the Evo?

dont.. ur getting alot of agreeable answers because this car is rare in the US.. we have alot of RX-7's here in the UAE selling for 15000$ R34's for 20000$.. some come straight from japan modded to 700HP go for 25,000$ but u have to convert them to LHD to register them.. which is a 2300$ job! ur in bangladesh.. why trade in ur evo and get a rexxy all the way from japan when the UAE is just close by and u could get any car u ever thought of for dirt cheap! ive been to a JDM car storage facility here.. with more than 50 RX-8's none of them with mileage over 10,000km going for 6,000 DHS.. thats 16,000$.. trust me, just give the UAE a visit u wont regret it, everything costs 4 or 5 times more in the US and Japan.. we get them here for some reason.. call it money laundering, stolen cars.. whatever.. heck they get the EXEDY clutches for over 1500$ when i bought mine for 800$! oh and take this from me.. HKS's demo evo was sold here for 32,000$ registered ready to ship to anywhere u want for 1,000$!! and thats not the only demo car we got.. AB Flug's supra was sold for 18,000$.. and i have a 587 R33 GTR v-spec bought for 19,000$.. converted to LHD and registered, in total.. 23,000$!
