So first off my name is justin. I have a very poor and abused 91 FC that is in need of a rebuild. That would be why im signed up to look up the info that is on here. My intent is to gut everything in the engine bay and have 13b single turbo with only what is needed to run it. and im going to perform some random modifications to the car as well. So what ever ideas I get ill be sure to post up here and post the project.

With all the work I put into i can say that it was ran extremely hard.
-Was initially a automatic, and was converted to a manual.
-That being said he left water in the trans, and pitted all the bearings and two gears so I got that rebuilt.
-Did not tighten the flywheel bolt all the way so there was a knocking with the car in neutral.
-Car was bought in limp mode, which was found out later that the oil regulator pump shorted out and also fried the ECU
-He didnt know that when you put spacers on so you can have rx8 wheels on it you MUST install longer studs.
-A bad ac compressor :/
-AND FINALLY both window switches dead
-and as stated it needs a engine rebuild

I live in florida and thankfully I was able to find Kilo (Kilo racing( a real technical genius)) and he fixed my oil pump and ecu.

 

Been talking to you in your build thread, but yea all i have heard was nothing but good things about kilo racing, and i am too battling a bad ac compressor in this FL weather lol. FC love.

 

Wow, sounds like whoever you bought that car from needs to either learn or quit touching anything with wheels. Isn't it great to get something and find out the PO hacked it up and did everything he touched the wrong way? Good luck with your build. I really hope you finish it up soon.

 

- trust yea ive seen ya in ther man trying to find injectors so i can all it a night

-mb lol here is the extras thats wrong with the car. Its why i just want to shell it, no dash, no covers, no carpet, etc.

-had leftover components of the patraiot 3000 in the car ( radar detector) which he wired in horribly and damaged the shielding to where he wired in to near the ignition

-he tried fixing the motor for the antenna by replacing it with another one with 10 ft of wire spooled in there ( funny cause i found the relay for the motor back there toasted)

- did a jury rig on the lights controls to where the assembly melted a week later. kinda looked like a burnt slice of cheese. whats funnt is that the front lights still somehow worked even with that.

-ALOT of sensors missing when i went into detail of the wiring harness in the engine bay, specifically the ones near the radiator (only 1 of 5 there )

-clogged the drain pipes for the sun roof with a spray on lubricant that over time seeped into the pipes.(caused the areas near there rusted out. took $800 to get that cleaned up and repaired)

- had a right side collision. door was spray painted over in areas and you can see a dent only at the right angle

I am determined to fix her up and turn her out and save her
