I just recently bought it for $500 dollars. I know its a 90 FC S5 i honestly dont know the sub model but im pretty sure it is a GXL. The 13b is unassembled in my garage so the front end is kinda high on it.lol. Im in love with it though. It needs alot of work, But ive been doing alot of searching and im learning fast on here. Like I said it needs some work. But thats the fun part.

Good looking car, just needs a few things here and there. (like a manual tranny )
You could sell the tail lights and get half your money back!

Spend some money on waxes, compounds, cloths et cetera and shine her up! You'd be amazed how clean you could get that thing. And like mentioned, replace that auto tranny

nice check if you hve the auto adgujsting suspention if you dont its only a GTU. i bought a 90 GTU that had some GXL things added but i found out it was only a GTU. lso Auto to 5spd swaps suck hard donkey *****.(i've swaped out 2 cars already my 90 GTU and my freinds 91 vert.)

HAHA!! Good luck with those swaps. I hope you have researched FC's and their operation for at LEAST a year.

I have been reading, learning, experimenting, and mechanic-ing since I bought my first one in late 2006 and still don't know everything about every part and each model/series. And I have been a mechanic for about 6 years.

yep you always learn new things about your car my 76 celica is difficult to figiure out too

Good buy, man! You just need to throw a 5speed in there, and put on a new spoiler (can't believe no one picked up on that...) and it'll be sweet. I like the color too!

If you ever come through Ohio, I've got an s4 tranny (dunno if that'll do you any good but I think it'd work, although it could probably use new syncros before goiing in), and the stock spoiler for your car, that I'd be willing to part with dirt cheap.

By the way, Adam, you sound cool and not n00b-ish, seeing as you actually search and whatnot. So, let me just say, welcome to the club!

well uhhh

ha! sounds like all my girlfriends, but now that i think about it the same goes for all my 7's too. Good point.

Welcome to the club, hope your wallet is ready.

Captain_kirk

ha! Great buy, good color! Say goodbye to your relationships and money. Welcome to the club.

So im pretty sure that its a GXL because it has the switch from standard or sport suspension. correct me if im wrong
