Heres the situation...i just bought a 94 FD montego blue beigh leather interior. The car has the following mods.

Downpipe
midpipe
exhaust
apexi FMIC
apexi AVC-R
apexi turbo timer
apexi Power FC
1600 cc secondaries
RP fuel pump
stage 3 ACT clutch
Boost gauge
hose job
Greddy Type R BOV
Street Ported Engine and Rebuild with 3mm seals 4k miles ago by Rampage Racing
And last but not least a Greddy T-78 Turbo

Now my concern is that the body has 85k miles on it. He replaced the bushings in the rear suspension also. I plan on upgrading to H & R springs and Bilstein stutts, and upgrading to brembo brakes. Other than that is there anything else that i should be concerned with? Im worried about the Tranny with 88k miles on it. He has never dragged the car (which pisses me off cause i want to know what it runs....it made 400 RWHP @ 15lbs of boost....anyone have any idea what it may run?) so i guess the tranny hasn't been beaten to ****. The 5th gear syncro is fine also. no grinding. He also installed a brand new Mazda radiator. Should i sell that and go with the Fluidyne?

I paid 17k for the car. I feel that i got a decent deal considering the mods that are done to the car. What are your opinions? good deal, bad deal, average deal? Any input is appreciated. Thanks a lot

 

That's a good deal you got ... but yeah, definitely get a better radiator with that big FMIC in there.

 

thanks for the reply man. Yea i was thinking i would need that. What would you recommend, Koyo or fluidyne. Silver 7 posted his installation on the koyo radiator which i found very informative by the way...thanks silver 7....the koyo seems to be about 12mm thicker...is this better for my setup? will i run into any problems with that big *** intercooler up there? Thanks a lot.

 

anyone have any input for me? please?

 

I'm not sure exactly who but there are a few guys with the Koyo with a FMIC

 

I have the KOYO and a BLITZ FMIC, but my engine bay is empty right now. Because of that, I can't really give you any feedback on it, but I got the KOYO because it is only a little bit more expensive and a lot thicker. Good luck!
