Buying FD3S

As per title, when buying a JDM FD3S, what are points of interest?? things to look out for?? Is a low milage(33k), solid base car, apart from Blitz airfilters and aftermarket backbox, completely stock under the hood. Apart from that it does have some aftermarket performance carbon parts, skirts, rear spoiler and so on....

Any advice would be a great help!!!

Just check the links under "Buying". Keep in mind that the guides were designed around the US '93-95 models. If you get a newer model year, some things may be slightly different.

It is actually a genuine JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) car with RHD, MY1992.
That was mostly the reason why i posted on here..... cause most of the tips were probably related to US cars...

I know for a fact that in general JDM cars have high specs, and are well looked after, are usually exported from Japan with low milage and in good nick...

But of course there might be things, i have to be on the look out for, when checking the car over...

If it's a 1992, most things should apply in those buyer's guides. The main differences will be the emissions equipment and drivers side location.
