lol, i'm thinking about buying an fc, but for now i have an fb, and I couldn't be happier, it was sitting for 5-years, took me one day to get it running This week i'll probably buy an 89, if i can covince the parental units to dish out 900 cnd

 

No ****. Ill never own a FD.

 

It's mostly the little things that are messing up on my car. They would be easy to fix, but I don't want to pay $320 for a driver side window regulator (damn vert...) so i've spent hours upon hours trying to fix it for less. So far it's not working.

 

hahaha

That's messed up ain't it.The first day I got mine I had a problem also but yours is worse.Good luck.

 

Dude! Half your airbox is missing!

I found the cause of all your gremlins! theres a FRAM oil filter on it!

Seriously though. Good luck man. You might want to check the tranny fluid before you think the worst, because these older cars, it might still have the original fluid in it. It will have the viscosity of water.

 

I've had mine for about six, so far I'v tuned it up, installed a radio, took of that nasty velour(sp?) thingy from the back window, and all its askin for is a new clutch thats on its way. My a/c doesn't work so I've gotta figure that out but thats it. I payed 4k with72k on th clock in good condition, its an 87 T2

My FD was great, i had it converted to non-sequitial and had the nest removed, i also had the pfs dp, cat-back, SMIC, and the purple computer. She rean her *** off- Sold it to a go on here about a year ago, from floriida. I miss that car

Ok, back to my FC- I have removed the vacuum rack and all un-necessary things I am picking up a dp and intake this week from a fellow rx7club'er. I just ordered shift bushings from mazdatrix- I decided to go with the Exedy clutch, and a used driveshaft, all of which is this weekends work. I am going to use Royal purple in the trans. Other than that, a fresh tune-up and i'll see how it does then-

The suspension....a whole other horry story

 

my car ran me 3200 in tampa, and I live in miami, close to 400 miles away, it was great, until I drove it for 200 miles and it overheated and blew a coolant seal. Oh well,more reason to port.

 

To finish off my post with an update. Everything is great, shocks still need to be replaced. Finally got the idle situated after i realized one of my plates i made didn't seal right, everytime i hit boost it would blow out the silicone, and back to a shitty idle. Remedy, ordered thick anodized blue plates, fixed my plate for temp. purposes. Here is a clip of how it idles now- You can still tell the plate isn't sealed perfectly, due to a lumpy, irractic(sp?) idle

well it is 15 years old and a turbo...
