i just got my fc today.
its stock and the cleanest ive found for sale for awhile.
i dont plan on doin anything for awhile but what would you guys do first and why.
ill post up some pictures when i take some tomorrow.

 

Full exhaust and Suspension.

 

congratulations. Search.

 

check belts, check fluids, plugs, wires, filters, suspension, exhaust, rims/tires.

Search before posting again please.

 

Slap a NOS on it then press it at FULL WOT!

 

A full tuneup and inspection to make sure the car is operating correctly. Replace all broken components, take it in for an alignment, etc.

Once the car is working, a search for "basic modifications" would be a good place to start.

 

theres the exact same question in the FAQS!!! Search, read, repeat, search, read repeat....

 

cool man, welcome to the club. FC's are great cars and you'll love it.

Like previously mentioned, I'd start with a full tune up and check up, make sure your not leaking fluids, fresh vaccum hoses and fuel injector grommets are great, check the voltage to the fuel pump to make sure your getting uninterrupted fuel flow.

is it turbo or NA? If it has a LSD it mught be worth having that rebuilt or sourcing a fresher one if it worn out. Just build it back to good condition before you start modding it, otherwise it will just be lack luster.

 

congrats

 

say goodbye to your paychecks mwuahahaha...jk welcome to the club!

 

j/k?

 

joking*

 

just kidding?

 

i bet you werent kidding... my last 3 paychecks have gone to my 7 :P had to replace my whole driveline... but its my fault anyway... and i only make a couple hundred a paycheck...


Anyway, Welcome to the club. My 7 has been a bit of a money pit but i love it. but if you take good care of it, it will return the favor... and as previously mentioned, make sure you give it a nice tune up and make sure its running right. then modify it. I for one neglected to do a proper tune up (which it needed) and now its biting me in the a$$...

 

Welcome! See sig. Post pictures
