Radiator is done.

Cleaned up the engine a bit before putting the new radiator in and a little cleaning after. (Still needs more)

 

So fresh, so clean lol. No but it really does look amazing, nice work!

 

Dammit..I had to pay over 3k for mine and it didn't run either. Nice find

 

Lucky SOB. HAHA great find! have fun with you cheap toy

 

I thought I got a great deal on my fc at least until reading this thread

 

yeah ... 500 dollars for mine and i need another 250 for fixing parts on mine (tranny needs rebuilt (122), trim and some other things) but mine runs .... and it does have a racing clutch heheh

 

I traded a pair of stihl hedge clippers for mine. Its complete with a clean body and interior and best of all stock

 

Oh man thats a good deal. I paid a thousand for mine and its not even a turbo.

 

Aw snap.. First problem today. Out driving around and picked up a trailing coil and an oil cap. Yay.. more parts I needed off the list. Fired up the car and drove off. About a minute later I look in the mirror and see nothing but white smoke. I mean James Bond would have been proud of the smoke screen.

124k on the stock turbo. The seal finally took a dump.

Now I have to pull the turbo and get a seal and bearing kit for it. While it's out I might as well port the wastegate.

 

Rare deal, that I can never find.......

Just like hitting the lotto....LOL

 

im so jealous!
lol good find

 

This is almost as good as my friends free fd. Really nice fc

 

Turbo is out. Probably could have saved some time just yanking the motor out rather than pull **** out of the way.



Exhaust side. Can't find any oil in there. However I found some oil in the intercooler and compressor side. No in and out but it does have side to side play.


Hey look... A rotor!

 

So lucky, why can't I find anything like this? lol

 

I got my fc for free!
It has a sweet turbo too

 

Congratulations on the acquisition.

Sometimes you do not know how life will turn out. You put off fixing a simple thing for a few weeks. The weeks turn to months. You buy a new car. You buy a new car or seven, and always want to fix your old friend. Unfortunately, by this time your old friend needs more than just a new sensor or whatever was wrong with it. Your buddy sits for a few more years until finally you just have no more attachment to it. You would rather not see it removed from your life for free than put the effort into fixing it. Or, you just plain do not have the time, money or ability to fix it anymore. In any case, some one comes along and offers you a way out of the situation, so you take it. You are happy, the new owner is happy, and your old pal lives again. The point I am trying to make, is that everything is not all about money.

 

very lucky =) i thought i got a steal when i bought an rx3 for $800 lol

 

what a beautiful find! that tII definitely has a bright future!

 

So jealous... No worries if you found oil on the cooler and comressor, if it aint soaked in it. Normal breathing in old turbo car.

 

wow nice find

 

I wouldn't be able to pass that up for only 50 bucks.

 

I'd feel bad taking that for $50 bucks...

 

Awesome find! Maybe ill get lucky enough to find one for 50$ one day...

 

im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love it man.... pure sex

 

Awesome find! I got mine for $800. It runs...but definitely needs more work than that one!
