My new FD!

Well I bought y FD two days ago now, saw it online for 3000$ so I went o look at it right away! I thought the engine might be blown or weak compression but a test showed 110psi, it had a high idle and it would rev up and down up and down then you put it in gear and it mellows out a bit and after driving it for a few it idled steadily at 1500rpm, them I drove it some more and t started to idle fine, buddy said he changed half of the vacuum lines(which I saw) and te other needed to be changed and only he primary turbo would spool up, so I bashed my away down to $2100 and drove her home! Unfortunately i left for camp today so no tinkering and I have to wait 3 weeks!!! It has nasty looking HKS cai's (I have blitz ones to replace it) and a kakimoto racing exhaust and that's pretty much it and two greddy gauges boost and oil pressure






Does anyone know what kind of mirrors I got? My drivers side glass is missing

Thank man, yeah I hear ya on the tail lights...I'm going to smoke them for now until I find some I like, same with the wheel I don't like them too much. I'm pretty much going to go thru everything and change it, at that price I paid leave me with lots of play money! New ecu, water meth injection v mount will be coming very very soon

It always amazes me to see the stock cold-air intake system replaced with those hot under-hood air filters. That's completely at odds with known physical properties of horsepower vs. air temperature.

I thought i got a steal, i paid $5000 for one but he was eager to sell and also had nowhere to store it. I bought mine in fort mcmurray and mechanically she is running like the top. Leaking rear dif cover and minor suspension trouble, aka front left ball joint i suspect. What can you expect for something 20 years old.
