smartest thing to do is find an fd on it's 2nd/3rd or whatever engine it's on with low miles...check for compression as it should make about 7~8kg/cm^2 evenly on all 3 chambers. If you are set on an FD that is... after you get it, change oil/plugs/oil filter like a fiend, monitor water temp, fuel ratio and don't beat the crap out of the motor and drive it with TLC....and this is coming from an FD owner with a whopping 1 month worth of ownership under the belt

btw, this is a good link that I read before buying mine...it'll tell you what you need to do if you're serious about buying it
