oh and yeah i needed a jdm car because my car club sponser didnt want to hook up my 66 comet hahah


its cool i love the fc

 

Sorry to burst your bubble but I highly doubt the FC your picking up is JDM by most standards.

The term JDM is usually meant to describe a part or car that was designed for the use in Japan and has been imported over to the US and everyone thinks it "COOL".

Now if you think of JDM as a Japanese car desigend for the US then ok.

 

1. This forum's FAQ and/or google for buyer's guides.
2. Haynes manual or FSM in this forum's FAQ. Do all maintenance items. Use only O&M thermostats. Pay special attention to cooling system maintenance.
3. If your coolant or oil is empty, or you're about to overheat, pull over immediately to avoid losing your engine. Always keep coolant and oil topped off.
4. Handling: springs, shocks, sway bars, bushings, DTSS. There is no "best". Stiffer handles better but is more uncomfortable. Softer handles worse but is more comfortable. It's up to your preference.
5. Power: catalytic converter, mufflers, 5th and 6th ports, VDI, cold air intake.

Use forum search tool for more info on above or any questions/problems you might have.

 

your right about that but the point that im trying to get across is i needed an import car.

 

Hollow out the first 2 precats.
Fix the sloppy shifter (common)
Change all fluids and filters ( so you know it has been done)
CAI- Some people say NA some say YEAH. I've enjoyed mine!!!
Enjoy!!!!

 

hey i need a driver side fender and head light motor assembly who can hook me up?


oh and i burnt some lame *** gti with like 20''s and a loud *** muffler hahah lolz

 

mate
pull the motor out and do a Bridge port or go Peripherial Port..
then get a Microtech from Aus, and injectors, fuel pump, and a tune, then ur set...
or see how a high comp motor goes wit a stock turbo setup on 5-6Psi, high comp+ boost= crazy *** fun.

 

oi! man thats mad cool you know oh and whats the fuel capacity for an 88 fc?

 

my tank is a 63Litre tank (Australian Delivered 1986 Rx7 turbo)

 

thats pretty intense

are ngk plugs good?

 

yeah
iv been told unless ur racing the car and its got massive power, the stock plugs will be fine.

 

If you overheat, pull over... AND DO NOT TURN OFF THE CAR.

At least this is what my mechanic tells me, because he learned the hard way -- warped rotor housings. When my car started heating up at a rallycross, he kept the car running, opened the hood, and sprayed down the radiator.

 

i got the headlight assem.

the fender i have you probley dont want, if u got some body skills ill sell it 2 u cheap, none of the bodylines are compromised so its a real easy fix.

if u need ne thing else pm me i got some n/a goodies u might be intrested in, racing beat headders, 6 puck clutch, whole motor(needs work).
