Give me the low down and how to matain an FC
Give me the low down and how to matain an FC
Alright, so I have a 91 N/A FC.
95,000 miles
Work done: Koyo rad, stage 2 clutch.
Replaced: master/slave cylinder.
I've posted a few questions that have been answered already but I want to know. How can I make my FC last as long as my baby wants too.
Future plans include a full racing beat exhaust and that's it.
(Paint etc. Comes last)
So, what do you guys recommend? Replacing everything( oil cooler lines, belts, etc etc.) Looking for the dos and don't s.
What can I expect at 100,000? 120,000? And so on?
Thank you ahead of Time.

Just do general maintenance and replace things as they break. You can replace everything right now and that would certainly help with reliability, but it's also dropping a ton of money on the car and a lot of it doesn't need replaced.
Honestly be on top o your oil consumption (yes its normal) premix as a precaution, spark plugs, ignition wires and timing are the essential points that need attention more than your other maintainance....

To be honest, at this point in time it is not really up to you in terms of "maintenance", with the intention of said maintenance being to prevent a major mechanical failure later. The cars are old enough and have been through enough owners in most cases that "the damage has been done" and although you can do repairs to areas that need it, the major mechanicals of the car are already worn and aged significantly and are probably closer to the end of their lives than the beginning regardless of what you do. That's not to say you shouldn't make repairs to obviously neglected or failure-prone areas, but don't think that doing meticulous oil changes and flushing the coolant on a 20+ year old engine will keep it from failing, because there's already 100-some thousand (in most cases) miles of neglect and abuse likely to be on it that can't be undone just because you decide to start babying it today.
