Welcome to the forums! Before you do go buying one, please read all the faqs about them Good luck!!

Dennis,

 

If you've never owned rotary before, don't go diving off the deep end.

 

Hope you got deep pockets. :p

 

veryyyy deep pockets

 

Real deep... hahaha.

 

. . . . . financial disaster?

 

Thats why their called "FD's"!

 

Welcome! I hope you've done some serious research before buying one.

 

welcome to the forum. like everyone has said do your research. good luck

 

welcome, and yes read the FAQ sticky as soon as u get 7. good luck and enjoy~


LMAO... that's awsome

 

thats the truth

 

thx for your advices. i am in no hurry to buy one. i've been reading alot of post here on the forum and to tell u the truth, it's a bit scary. but as i spend a lot of sleepless nights admiring the photos on the sticky i think it would be worth while. i'm on page 90. still many sleepless nights to go!

thanks,
Hailo Nguyen

 

dont do it!

 

do alot of research i didnt n regret it

 

YOu know, you guys keep scaring the **** out of prospective buyers like this, and no one is going to want to own one and all our cars will be worth dogshit.

 

Look at me. I know all about the horrors of FD's and I'd still consider buying one if I didn't owe on my Jetta.

Then again, I own one of each other generation so why not complete the three?

 

Everyone that says you have to have deep pockets to own an FD...does that mean you have deep pockets, because you own an FD? my money's on NOT

 

You don't need deep pockets to own an FD, but you will want to know how to turn a wrench, have someone that can help you.....or have deep pockets

Look at it this way, I found a guy in a local club that was cool enough to help me with my build....I'm learning, so some things I just wouldn't get through without MAJOR headaches. I also prior to this guy helping me, had a local shop quote me to drop a reman in....JUST to pull the motor and replace it with a reman (which wouldn't be opened and inspected, just dropped straight in) was going to run over 5k, that didn't include replacing all the screwed up, half assed stuff under the hood from previous owners, brittle hoses and connectors, etc.

For about the same amount of money and the guy that is helping me, I'm basically able to upgrade damn near everything needed under the hood that needs attention other than just the block, and also gave me the chance to clean the hell out of every nut and bolt under the hood, something that would not have happend with the shop I went to to start with.

Granted, this is taking about 8 months longer than if I had just paid the shop to do it because I'm just too damn busy at my shop right now, but it will be a would of difference in the end.

 

Welcome! Now ignore the picture thread, and read over the technical stuff... I learn new information every day!
