OR New FC owner! (and a shifter question :P)

So I was in the market for an s13, but the more and more I looked at FC's I kind of wanted one. But only if I could get a good deal on one.
Well, I found a legit deal!

88 FC.
30k on rebuilt w/ small street port
intake
straight pipe
emissions delete
s5 tails
megan coils
+more.







She needs a little work.
Driver fender needs to be pulled/replaced for sure.
But I couldn't pass it up for the price.
I'm completely new to rotary, but I'm definitely loving my new fc.


As far as the shifter question.
I need new bushing+boots, ASAP. This **** is super loose.
(yes I have searched it, and I know mazdatrix has that write-up on how to change them. however it does not answer my question)
Now, would all the bushings and boots I need come w/ a short shifter kit?
Or would I need to buy the bushing and boots seperate + a short shifter kit?
I don't have too much to spend, and obviously the bushings and boots are more important to me than a short throw.
But I figured i'd ask to see if I could kill two birds w/ one stone.



Anyways, thanks in advance and hi!

Bushings and boots need to be purchased separately. Search
"Miata short throw shifter" in the second gen section. They are cheap off ebay and work in
second gens.

Bring it over if you want it checked out, I am in Beaverton.

Thanks for the info, a friend told me something about miata shorts working, but neither of us knew about the bushings.


I definitely wouldn't mind someone taking a closer look at it.
Where at in Beaverton are you? Feel free to PM me the info if you don't want it posted!

Haha nice wheel, I actually don't think it's too bad..I kinda like it.
I dunno what i'd do with a second though..probably give it to a friend :p

and yeah, I wouldn't mind an sr..but the more and more i drive my fc, im thinking after this im just gonna move to 13bt instead of an sr.





And yeah, it was clarified that the 10k was a F&F quote.
But, the actual price was 2300.
