got an fc! (yea.. another thread about another person gettin an fc.. i know)

anyway.. its a 1987 sport (i think, no power anything except steering). i bought it for $250 w/ about 150k, all stock except for an apexi dual cat back exhaust (sounds very nice!). it wasn't running, it was flooded so i towed it home and did the egi comp fuse magic, and on the 5th time it fired up! it has a couple of problems, the drivers side door handle is broken, the right blinker doesn't work, the brights get stuck on etc etc etc. i will post pics tomorrow.. i'm very excited!

If that UT means Austin I'd be willing to help you out with any mechanical problems you come across. I'm not always in town but I've got most of the tools you would need

thanks fellas! im sure the guy who had it had no idea that it was this easy to fix. when he told me that it had stopped running out of no where i was 99% sure that it was flooded. im not sure if im gonna keep it or fix it up a little nicer and sell it for a higher price.. only time will tell. i'll get pics up later today!

if you're really interested in learning on how to work on your own car (you DID know about the flooding so you're somewhat interested) I say keep it...........if you just want it to be part of the whole drifting fad then sell it for a huge profit and buy another car and make THAT cooler.

Its kinda ugly, but for the price you paid, it's a steal.

yea what can you expect for 250. really, the only thing ugly about it is the unpainted hood/panels, the broken lip, and the dent.
