RI New Member - Will - 1994 FD Rhode Island

Hello All,

I just purchased my first FD. This is my first but the second in the family. My dad owned one about 9 years back and regrets selling his especially since he helped me pick this one up.

Its a 94 SSM with black leather and the previous owner was on here with a well documented reliability build. Here is a pic next to my Audi S4 when I picked it up.

Thanks everyone. The FD is in the low 80k mile range and I plan on keeping it simple. I am a believer that the rotary can be more reliable than most make it seem so I will ensure I can drive it most days while staying on stock twins. I don't have any plan to go single turbo any time soon.

Smart man. My car is stock except for radiator, downpipe, catback, powerfc, ACT clutch, and a larger smic. It has 295 hp on a Mustang dyno. All work and tune by Banzai Racing. It has run perfect for 7+ years now.

That is basically the build I am doing. It already has a ton of maintenance work done, smic, turbo back, tons of other stuff. I just need a pfc, clutch, and larger injectors

Looks nice, good luck with it. Keep it simple and you will have a lot of fun with it. Just remember get to know the car before you get to crazy with it. They can throw you for loop if your not careful.

The motor is currently down for a rebuild all thanks to the coolant seals. I expect it will be back on the road by May.
