Hell loving yeah I'm super stoked. Less so about the goofy racing seat (I like stuff like that OEM) and not at all looking forward to peeling away all that interior red wrap stuff, and the less noticeable carbon fiber. I do see though that it's been souped up a bit, it's wearing some upsized tires, after market intake, the Mazdaspeed muffler along with the hood. Hoping that they also went through the trouble of putting on the Mazdaspeed suspension for it too, but I guess we'll see when it gets here. It looks way better than I was expecting. That 'Autogiano' turns out to be some sort of Japanese parts tuning place for AZ-1s?

goddamn i cannot wait to graduate and get one of these a year later (and then get extremely killed by a drunk driver in a bro lifted coal rolling dodge ram)

Still curious to see what the final price was, I asked for it since JCD is all cool with USS now.


lol that is pretty hilarious.





I paid $5120. This highlights how I feel about USS auctions vs non-USS ones. Mine was sold through CAA, the blue one was through USS. USS prices just seem to be higher for the only reason of being a larger house and they must get more exposure. Plus the wheels alone are worth a significant portion of the price I paid.

it's nice to see prices start to fall now that the initial 'it's legal!' sheen has started wearing off

can't wait to get one
