picked up my next project

Its not a FC, I been looking and looking for a FC for about a year now with no really luck for what I want.

while on the search for my next FC, one of Japanese friends said he had a heard that someone was selling selling a FD with a dead engine that he would let go at a good price and wanted to know if wanted to talk a look.

so I drove out there to take a look... Its 94 Type R. the guy who had it drove it home from where he bought it. and it never started again. he had it for about 6 months and his wife wanted it gone.

so I asked him how much for it.
he said 50000 yen I about fell on the ground! 50000yen =~ $454. so I paid the man and used a tow rope to drag it home.
where I used the oldest rotary trick inthe book. I changed the plugs... poured some ATF down the instake runners. and crancked it over. started right up. the engine is eating water so I understand why he could not get it started for 6 months. need less to say. after the ATF trick some one called the fire department. so that was fun to explain that the car was fine and was not really on fire.

Im still looking for the "right" fc but I could not pass up a FD for less than $500.
