Pix: New GT35 FD I just picked up

Im new on here
I got this car off rx7jang from the forums.
This car cosmetically is simply flawless Im very excited about the car
I have a few problems with it...they seem to be relatively minor
A small oil leak at the oil pan which Im fixing today and Im thinking a vacum leak
wich is causing my idle to act all crazy. Sometimes it idles at 900 sometimes at 2k?? Doesnt surge up and down or anything just changes. I tried searching and found alot possibilities. Besides that car drives like a dream

Thanks everyone...I have wanted an FD since I was in highschool when the car first came out. Glad to be apart of this community

Honestly I rather not say
I didnt pay the firm asking price but I didnt steal it either. I feel that I got a very fair price considering the work done to the car and the condition of it. Car is about a 9.5 out of 10

I came again. On idle thing, is it only in warmups or just random? COuld be VAC line or TPS.
Its wierd
I usually will start it up and it will idle high then drop to 900
OR
It will idle at 900 upon start up then after about 5 minutes idle at 2kish
A friend on here with a FD said he saw a uncapped vacum nipple located under the intake mani. Im assuming its that, if not maybe TPS or bad air pump.

Me love. What color is that?
Its House of Kolor Kandy Blue with Red pearl

LOL, you post *****, j/k. I've been reading about your car on DragVa. Yeah dude, that's a SWEET car. Congrats!

Yeah, make sure all the nipples have a cap or a good line and try adjusting the TPS.
