yeh i know its a stupid typo i accidently wrote down the milage of my previous fd ... as for the part why i got it well this one was the only one with low milage on it except for the problems listed the cars in excellent condition just what u would expect from a 26000 km driven car .... the rest i saw here had high miles on them n most of them were rollers with bad motors ..... i was told by the previous owner that it had just got a rebuild and run only 300 km on it so far ... as for the fact i cant get access to a dyno here i think my possibilities of tuning this car rite are pretty slim ... as for the smoke part the car is runnin very rich ..... as for my last fd it was time for a rebuild n i sold it ....
