FD Newbie in MD!
Hello everyone!
I just got a FD shell in great condition for free! I've always wanted one of these cars for the longest time and now that I have 1/2 of one... im a bit lost on how to proceed with the other 1/2.
Currently this is what I'm missing:
Engine (previous owner blown it and for sake of a short story I cannot recover it).
Transmission (I actually have it, but previous owner says it grinds in 2nd and 3rd gear?).
ECU (I have this as well, but previous owner said something about ECU being not to reliable becuz it doesnt shift well?? )
This is what I'm planning after reading through some threads:
Getting a used engine (13B), trans, and ecu.
Spoke with someone at www.tigerjapanese.com and they said I can have all that for $2500 shipped.
At this point in the game, I simply want the car to be able to move reliably.
All advice is welcomed!
Thanks!
