I've been looking at the car: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1993-...em310024614388

it has 200K+ miles on the chassis. I'm concerned about bearings seals, etc... Are there specific issues I should look for associated with FDs?

The more research I do the more the addiction grows...

 

I wouldn't go for it...I've also never seen an FD with that many miles on an original motor..

That's the worst thing to do with an intercooler...

 

read the FAQ

and someone close this thread. lol

 

More miles than mine!! Holy smokes FD bodies seem to hold up REALLY well to age (don't rust, people seem to take care of them etc). Except for the usual stuff (cracked dash vents, door handles etc)

You will have to change basically all suspension related stuff, diff bushings, motor mounts, PPF (they crack sometimes?). But it depends on condition.

There's no way that's an original motor with that turbo/intercooler setup.

 

unless you have alot of prior experience with fd's i highly sudgest you consider another car. your going to have so many problems with it, you may not even be able to keep up

 

who does this single turbo conversion and keeps the stock i/c?:P

 

No mention of ECU or fuel mods either.

 

What to look for in a high mileage FD? A lower mileage one would be my guess...plus whth the others have said as well concerning this particular car.

Thanks guys... I definitely don't want to get in over my head. Which it sounds like if I was to get this car. Great advice!!!

 

Looks like a genius modded that one
