Kind of a new member

I've had my 94 Touring since buying it new in January 1995. I've read various things on this site but have not been active. The past couple of years I decided to get some necessary work done. During that time I've had a fair amount of work done, including larger radiator, second oil cooler, Power FC, new 99 spec turbos, Exedy organic clutch and lightened flywheel. Anyway, it runs a lot better than it did before all the work was done, but it still has issues. Unfortunately, where I live nobody works on these cars, so I've been traveling 700+ miles each way to get things done. Parts are getting pretty hard to come by too. wish I had the mechanic skills to work on the car, but I don't. I'm beginning to wonder if it is worth the time and money to keep this baby in my garage. I'm kind of on the fence now about another 1500+ mile round trip to get more work done. Anyway, I am in awe of the work some of the people have done on these cars and am glad that they are keeping them on the road.

Welcome!! I'm glad you found your way to the forum! There is a wealth of knowledge here from some amazing people! Keeping the car is entirely your choice. You have a huge community here behind you to help you with any problems that arise or any questions you may have. If it were my choice I would keep the car. You bought it new and it may leave a void if you sell it. I'm sure you love the car and with regular maintenance it will continue to perform very well. Would love to see pictures of the car!

Thanks for the reply! When its running well I don't think about letting it go. But when it has issues that nobody in town can work on, its frustrating. If anybody knows of a mechanic in Utah that can work on he FD, please let me know. I've been looking for 6 years and still have not found anyone, hence the long drives to get service.
