my 1st FC pics

Hey everyone, took some pics of my FC so i desided to share them with you guys...

Also, heres a little info on it if you guys care...lol

I bought it for $400 from one of my neighbors, the body and interior are in mint condition with the exception of one small tear on the driver seat on the side, and a very small dent on the driver door.

The car has fogs on it which im proud of because i dont think ive seen alot of FC's with em around near me, its got cruice control..um thats about it..

The reason i got the car for so cheap is because the motor is seized up, but doesnt matter to me anyway seeing as how im gonna do a TII swap, got a little money saved up for it... well, thanks for reading and i hope you enjoy the few pics i have....







Also, I already fixed the flat on the back rim, and yes i know, he rims have got to go, they are ugly as hell, damn momo's....lol

Definitely try the ATF trick, it worked for me. I got my FC for free because the engine was carbon locked and it runs fine now.

"Fine"

Fine for free There's smoke when driving, and some leakage sometimes, but definately awesome for a cost of $0 initially

yeah! I'm with Sonic Rat! I got my car for 200 dollars, so take that! :P



Of course, my interior was shot, and the exterior was dented and faded/peeling, and the clutch and brakes were bad...

What was my point? Oh yeah, love the black FCs

Nice buy!

I like the rims. If you hate them so much, trade for GXL rims?

What happened to your belts, radiator shroud, and airbox? I really hope you aren't trying to start it without those.
