Posting here because I feel like this is a noob question.
Looking at an FD and received some pictures before I commit to a trip. Not getting the best vibe that the seller knows the ins and outs of their car, which is ok, but it leaves me with a lot of questions that I have to dig for answers.
I have the attached pictures of the engine bay with one close up of an AST/Stant cap and some Greddy box with a braided line coming from it. I thought it might have to do with an oil relocation kit based on the line, but this box doesn't match the pictures Greddy seems to have with their kits. SO...any guesses on what it is?
Finally, does anyone spot anything dreadful in these pictures that I should note? I received a closeup pic of the single turbo rather than any info on it, all I know from the picture is it is a Precision...no idea on what model sadly.
Thanks a bunch in advance. Again, been here a while but felt like these were noob questions.
No problem! I’m hoping I can be of use in these forums, looks like I’m off to a good start!
Looking at your pictures not too much pops out at me other than all the dust and the cap off of the fuses on the right. The air filter looks all gumbed up so other components could be pretty dusty too so keep an eye out for that. Ask why the cover is off of those fuses on the right too, could be nothing but there may be an electrical issue they are hiding. Good luck!
You’ve probably already come to this conclusion but that engine bay is pretty rough. And little things, like what looks to be a the missing port on the catch can, and a sprung pressure cap on the filler neck AND the ast, missing cover on the main fuse box, useless brackets left in place, oversized pulleys probably with no idler for the WP, gauge for something stuck next to the firewall, some kind of mess going on with the brake booster hose to manifold....kinda says this owner either doesn’t know or doesn’t care for details.
