So Whatcha Get For Your FC this X-Mas?

Hey,

What did you buy for your FC this christmas? I bought:

-New fuel filter & Fuel lines both ways
-All new vacuum lines
-Getting injectors rebuilt as we speak
-Just got MT-90 in the mail a few days ago (and i gave away the rest of my redline lsd fluid to a good buddy)
-Got new coolant w/distilled water
-New Heater Hose (was leaking)
-New 02 sensor
-Buffer and wax and I think thats it, just maint stuff. And i'm going to clean up the engine bay while my manifold is taken out. Merry X-mas to all!

-Andrew

I got $1500 to spend on mine for xmas. Planning on some good suspension work, brake upgrade, and with some money I already have buying parts to rebuild my differential.

Sweet! 87GTR lives in japan and he always hooks it up with sweet coilovers with really low miles, usually show cars for cheap prices. I might want to get a safc2 for mine after everything is put back or save up for a true dual exhaust for my project motor, i dunno.

Karack, i just scrolled down and saw you added some stuff, how much was the safc? and how hard was the install, i think you work for mazda from what i've read so its probably easier for you.

i work for Cadillac but if i can figure out a way and get enough knowledge from my car i may give the other rotary gods some competition for rotary work, i own a auto repair business on the side.



the SAFC i bought used but it was only used for a few weeks off an ebay member for $200, not a bad price as it was almost a year ago that i bought it and they were still fairly new back then. i love the logging features, works great as a diagnostic aid.
