I just brought a 93 FD, when the car start, there's hella smoke coming from the exhaust, it's kinda white and blue, i know it's engine oil cuz i can actually smell it, the ******* car is in damn bad condition, and when i try to do some cleaning under the hood, me and my friend realized that : the turbo was shot, intercooler full with engine oil( about 1 lit ), and almost oil everywhere, so me and my friend take all the pipes out and start cleaning it, the car has a 8,2507 original milage, never rebuild, the ******* horn is not working, and the emergency light is not working, but the turn signal are fine, I am wondering can any you guys tell me what exactly happened to my car, i brought it from Ebay.
THANKS!

 

youre probably going to need a new engine and turbos. let me guess, the seller told you the car was running like new right?

 

hell yea, that ************ told me the car just need trubo and engine that's it, but i realized i need to go alot further than that, almost like i'm building the whole car up myself again, i mean u will not believe..........

 

At this point, unless you REALLY want to take a long time and learn about these cars as you are ripping it apart, take it to a local rotary expert for a thorough look-over so you can at least have a better picture of what's going to need work.

I highly recommend Rick's Rotary in Pleasanton. He is an excellent mechanic and knows all 3 gens of 7s. Their number is 925-484-2324. Tell Rick that Tyler sent you.

Other excellent shops in the Bay Area are C2 Automotive in Oakland and Ivan's "Auto Palace" in Sunnyvale. You can do a search in the West forum for those numbers.

Good luck bringing an FD back to life!

 

Yeah I second Rick Rotory... grew up there and he worked on my 1st gen.. good guy just wish I could get a job from him!

He know's his **** and won't rip you off....

 

yea , alot of people tells me about C2, they said that the price is fair, and i'm planning to tow it and see what will they say.......and do any of u know , i'm my is a touring, and with the bose audio system, but both CD and radio are not working, can i just change those aftermarket receiver from good guy????
