Go with OEM seals.

How many miles you have on the motor with poor sealing? Expect ANY set of seals to have poor sealing while in the break in period. Some seals take longer to set than others. This also depends on the rotor housing condition.

still a drive haha but thank you. after this snowstorm car is parked for the winter. i hope to get it into the garage. all i really gota fix on the car is the power draw and exhaust leak. the exhaust is the easy part. power draw causes the battery to die within a few days of not being driven so i know its not my alternator. whoever had the car before me cut and spliced into everything. i think ive narrowed it down to an interior power draw somewhere under the dash. if i get the car into the garage this winter i will find the draw. for now its under a tarp. i dont see the point in paying for a car cover when i can just get a garage for an extra $100. just wish i had the money to buy one of them. wats everybody else doing about the snow?

Anyone want to help a fellow rotorhead out in getting a job? :P I'm 17, used to be a cook. Worked at the candia woods golf course then joined up with the Bedford Village Inn. I worked there for one day before i realized i didn't want to cook anymore, cars were my passion not food. I'd like to somehow get a job in the winter that possibly relates to cars, but i dont want to be a mechanic at all. It also has to be part time, even though i can easily work up to 40 hours a week with my schedule. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Get a job in a auto parts store. Thats what I did a wee bit ago when I was still in high school. They do hire part timers as well, in Florida at least.

This might be an idea for a winter time rotor head get together. Snowboarding for all those that do.

lol I know Max the guy I was talking about his name is James lol. I got my GENUINE RE amemiya FC2000 from him and the desomonds from him. He is a devoute 240 guy but he knows his stuff believe me lol he was a blue stage mech in japan for 22 years. he told me he hadn't driven a car under 400+ hp when he worked at his shop lol and his wife use to drive all the cars he worked on over to the inspection station there since laws over there are killer on tuners. If you have 1 illigeal part on you car and it is found your car WILL be towed lol

and BTW to all the NH rotorheads you can just refer to me as Tim and hope to meet some of you when I have my car going

ok I know I keep asking this and I get all sorts of different answer but I will ask once again lol. I found a 13b-rew for a good price and was wondering just how difficult it is to install that in a 90 FC? I heard the FC tranny is better and well the FD just wouldn't fit unless it is modified but what about the driveshaft and all the other stuff behind the tranny and what would wiring would be like?
