Got my FD the other day
Got my FD the other day
94 touring, 63k original miles, sat for almost 2 years because clutch went out and previous owner didn't have the cash to fix it, i spent the past 2 days restoring it to mint condition and ordered a clutch, only thing i can't get back to bran new is the wheels
considering a powdercoat or stripping them and painting them myself. Any of you have a set of stock blingers for sale for cheap?
Car seems to run fine, but on cold starts it will run very very rich for 20-30 seconds (yes, it is fuel NOT coolant or oil), haven't changed the plugs/wires or anything yet since it's not road worthy as of yet and checked the MAP sensor vac hose, any other recommendations would be appreciated
Best $4500 I ever spent, pics are at:

OMG Wtf!!!? $4500????? that's insane! i feel jipped, my fd is asscrack compared to the price you got it for. i got mine for $9k, it had a cracked radiator, and the shogun asscrack body kit. props bro, i like your car!
well, price or not, i don't know how to work on it so it does me no good...
going to put a clutch in it this week as well as powdercoat the wheels a darker color (only part of the car i couldn't restore to mint on this weekend's cleanup excursion), however i don't know why it runs super ultra rich on cold start but cleans up after a few minutes, if when i drive it it doesn't work properly i'll have to pay the dealer to fix it anyway

this is a budget project, i can get ls1's & t56's for cheap and fab my own fuel/radiator options, hinson is cheap for the other supporting mods.... but i'll drive it stock through the rest of hte summer

no, i'm doing the work... this wouldn't be budget paying them for such a simple changeover, however i will purchase their subframe and other required parts minus fuel/coolant options
