PA Finally got my hands on a FD!!!
Hey, My name is Glen.

I just bought a 1994 FD, I've been trying to pick one of these up for a while!
So I'm pretty pumped for my new toy. I snagged it up for $10,500, just rebuilt with new low mileage turbos. No rust issues just some one decided to get a cheap paint job(undercoat is thin in spots). But hey it works for me!

I finally was able to install the sunpro boost gauge in his FD this weekend. Looks good I think. Got rid of a junk autometer! Bump for almost broken in! Mileage report of 810 yesterday.

No the mileage is now a monster 840, so much closer to that 1000 mile break in
