Hey guys I am new on this forum and I have a bunch of questions. Im looking to buy an FD with some work done to it already. He has a single conversion turbo done to it, but my biggest concern with the car is the motor work. He has no receipts for anything. He says they rebuilt the motor and everything was done 10k ago. The car now has 99,XXX. He said they used 3mm ALS seals along with brand new oem parts by t&r racing in queens ny. the car was tuned by waynespeed. Have any of you had experience with these companies? Are they good companies? I was going to try to talk to T&r if they can validate any of this information.

I was also wondering if some of these parts were interchangeable with other mazda cars such as the A/C compressor and steering pump. It seems like the bolt ons to the block look like any other mazda parts ive seen.

the car itself was freshly repainted and looks very clean. Its just the motor im concerned about. I dont want to drive all the way to MA to drive the car back and start losing compression. Any I can check the integrity of the seals?

Thanks for all the help in advanced
