BC New FD from Vancouver
Hi everyone, I'm James and I come from a history of Hondas and Subarus.
Just got my first rotary, it's a 93 FD in white. Currently it has been sitting for a year and its not running and I of course got it for a price that reflects that. It will be a project for sure and I look forward to learning more about rotaries. Before it sat on the driveway, it was having fueling issues. It would die under heavier throttle, most likely when secondary injectors begin to fire. I also notice the wiring harness in the engine bay is a little cooked. I will be looking at at a new harness, fuel rail/injectors to start off. But we shall see what the problem is.

Thanks,
James

I would guess Vancouver BC Canada from the little "BC" icon, best of luck with your new project.

Welcome! Have you checked the compression? I'd do that first before spending money on other areas as it might need a rebuild.

Post Pics!

I agree with having a compression check done, that's how I confirmed my cracked or worn apex seal. About $120 at a dealer or there are lots of how to videos.

Picture for now, I will try to get better ones when I get her home.
Please excuse the massive side skirts and rear bumper!
Anyone know what company or style the skirts and rear bumper is from?
