Thanks for all the kind words. But it looks like my car will be traded. I'm trading it for RX-7(FD) with built LS6. I have enjoyed this build although it has been frustrating at times. I'm very attached to this car and am sad to see it go... but I just can't pass up such a rare and unique car, not to mention it is also built the right way.

It is this car: [FS] - 1993 Built LS6 RX7 - V8 RX-7 Forum

My plans for this car is to get coilovers, put on a nice set of wheels, and do some exterior mods. I'm leaving the engine as it is. Well, maybe get a dyno tune but am not modding it any further. I'm looking forward to it and I think I'll enjoy this one.

Owning an STi was a great experience. IWSTI is the best community I've been involved in and I'll stick around even after I'm no longer an STi owner. I'm sure I'll own another one in future... what an amazing car it is. I'll miss it dearly.

i can't believe you're getting rid of it
a lot of people keep moving backwards instead of forward, i don't get it?
i mean of course some older cars are fast (supra) but wouldn't anyone want to see what the future cars hold for us in terms of performance?

good luck dude, the new owner better take care of it!

Thanks for all the kind words. If I ever decide to be back, I can always build one that's better than this one. I have not been very efficient with my money when building this car due to trials and errors. I'm confident that I can build a better car than this one in the future with less money spent One thing though, no more reverse intake mani... what a PITA it is and I really didn't see much benefits.

This is my chance to own a nicely built LS6 FD so I have no regrets about my decision. I'm sure the new owner will take a good care of it. I'll also refer him to this site.

I traded a late model car one time for a Chevy LUV with a 400 small block in it. HUGE MISTAKE!!!

Is he putting up some $$$$ or is it a straight trade? Your car is worth alot more than the RX-7. It is simple economics and you have the newer car that is far superior to the FD in so many ways.

Just a suggestion from a friend.

Good luck anyway.
