Newb with an FD

Hi All, I'm Yonatan. I've always admired the FD and the mysterious rotary engine and late last year I found my unicorn. A low mileage one owner base model that's been sitting for 13 years. For the first month I was planning to bring it back to life in its stock form. That quickly changed as I saw the capabilities of the 13b and the Fd3s chasi. My build has quickly spiraled out of control but I'm motivated to see this car completed and back on the streets better than ever.

It's been an interesting build so far. I found out that the fuel pump was siezed, and the rats nest was was in terrible condition.

If that's the condition of your fuel pump, your gas tank is probably due for a good cleaning, or replacement

I dropped the fuel tank cleaned and treated during the process of changing out the fuel pump. That was almost 6 months ago now. The car has turned into a full build
