Just bought an FD!!
It was for sale in the classifieds. It's a red 1993 Touring with a turbo timer, konis, and a full exhaust. It's going to be a bit of a project. The turbos are shot (but I've got a set of stock ones), the front fasia is trashed, and the car has a few dings. Other than that it's in pretty good shape. As a matter of fact, I flew to TX Thursday night to buy it and I'm 1/3 of the way back to WA.
Things wrong with it:
turbos leak oil like a **** (.25 quarts every 250 miles)
front fasia is trashed
a few dings
doesn't like to be boosted in 5th gear
I hate the exhaust...it's louder than a bastard
The wheels suck
the tires suck
the guages are on the passenger side of the car
Pics can be seen atthe previous owner's website

No, it does not. Fortunatley, the turbos are trashed so it doesn't make more than 10 psi (lol). When I get back to WA, I have a lot of work cut out for me. I need to:
Replace the turbos
replace the spark plugs
clean the IC because it's been sucking up oil from the turbos
put a cat on this thing
Put some sort of AF controller on it
Move the batter back under the hood, or get a gel-cell battery

After seeing his other cars, you might have your work cut out for you.
