Welcome to the club. You'll enjoy it once you get it all put back and running right. Better get over on the FS section and start advertising for some parts.

welcome, and good luck with your purchase. you got some work to do but theirs nothing like pride of ownership. start shopping for some parts and take it slow. it will all come together and be something to be proud of.

Congrats. I hope you have some money saved for your "project". It's likely to need a lot more than just new turbos.

Good luck!!!

Welcome to 7 club man. I'd say the first order of business is to get a boost gauge (after your airbox and battery...). Good luck with it.

Best of luck with your new FD. Putting the turbos on will be a fun first job

smcginnis87

yea the car has been sitting for all most 3 years, it has all the parts in the hatch, so for me the list is to put new turbos in it, bushings for the shifter, new exhaust, greddy intercooler, and a seat, then the rest is gauges and nick nacks



and you right may god have mercy on my sole

I'm smcginnis's good friend and I was with him when he bought the car.

I can honestly say he got a deal in a half for this car. One thing he forgot to mention is it has a recently rebuilt motor by Don Marvel with only 10k on it. Motor is solid, just needs a set of turbos and a few cosmetics things. Body is straight and clean; just a few little dings here and there, nothing major, though. Paint is a little on the dull side, but other than that its in very good shape.

Congrats, Stephen. You've finally come over to the dark side.

nice FD. a few things you might want to do when you get this running. if you want to make life easier, if you are going with the stock twins dont go with the sequential setup. my turbos are non-sequential and i havnt had a turbo related problem. but it would be even more easier to go with a single turbo. #2 get a apex-i power FC, and a FC commander. #3 get a metal air seperator tank, the stock plastic ones tend to crack and leak, and if you get really lucky coolant will spill onto something hot and you will have yourself an engine fire. with all these mods and probobly some more down the road like gauges and other stuff your FD will be much more reliable than it is now. GOOD LUCK
