Don't you think all these problems arrive because of a bad maintenance or because people always want a car more powerfull than stock car ?
EDIT**
EVERY FD i've seen needs a new wire harness. that is a huge flaw imo

So buying a 94 FD that needs an engine for a good price would not be a bad investment? How are the imported engines that are on ebay? Should I get a long block or reuse some of the parts that I would have from the old one
? They all say that they are from Japan w about 40-50k on them.

as far as warm up goes I drive mine very easy until I get to a comfortable level of temp but yes they have to warm up I start mine and let it idle for about a minute and drive it easy I have been driving it this way for a year now and I have had no problems out of mine but defiantly check all fluids regularly

a rebuild kit including all seals (assuming your rotors and housings are good) is roughly 1000 dollars
Labor can be another 1000
If you need a new housing and rotor another 800 or so (i believe)
If you shot an apex seal you might need a new turbo or turbo rebuild some more $$
Rebuild videos can be bought from mazdatrix.. Rebuilding it yoursel is doable. But if you want it done the right way and you don't feel comfortable.. have it done by a professional
