Greetings all!


At first, I wish to thank all of the guys on this forum for all of your helpfull
posts. I bought a 95 FD on may 11 . I was a complete idiot about rotary a few months
ago...But after endless night in front of my computer, digging this forum, I know my
car 1000 times better now .

Also, I learned so much that it cost me a couple of thousand in
reliability mods....Damn!!!! But this car worth it!!


Below is my list of the ten "Must do mods" for any new FD owners.


1-CAT BACK. This is a must unless you want a car that sound
like a vacum cleaner on steroid. Also give 10-15 HP.


2-DOWNPIPE. This item give a good HP gain (10-15) and remove a lot of heat in
the engine bay. And the sound of the turbos!!!!


3-INTAKE. 14 HP gain. Filtration is improved 10 times. Apexi is the
way to go unless you do racing. See how Apexi blow away the competition:

4-BOOST CONTROLLER. A must have items if you want to know how the
turbo are running. Buy one now!!!


5-ALUMINIUM AST TANK..The original little plastic tank will blow out
and drain all of your liquid. Big engine damage will occur!


6-ECU UPGRADE. A must do item if you have 3 mods+. Don't play with
engine detonation!!! Rotary are not like ******* V8 Mustang engines!!!


7-EFINI Y PIPE. This item has resolved a boost leek on my car.
The original rubber coupling is sucking like hell and always come
to a leak. This is a Great reliability mod and it give an additional
pound of boost


8-POLISHED ALUMINIUM INLET PIPE. These pipes replace the OEM rubber
accordion-style turbo inlet hoses. The OEM hoses are ribbed and promote
turbulence to the intake air to the turbos. The OEM hoses CRACK OR SPLIT
WITH TIME CAUSING BOOST PROBLEM.


9-TIE-RAPPED SILICONE HOSES: Replacing the rubber hoses with silicone is a major,
all day (usually multiple day) affair but it is needed as your car racks up the
miles (heat cooks the old lines and makes them brittle) and as your boost climbs
the likelihood of a hose blowing off goes up. You should be able to get the hoses
and tie-wraps for about $50.


10-HIGH FLOW CAT OR MID PIPE.The stock main cat doesn't flow very well so a high-flow
replacement will boost exhaust flow and aid turbo spool-up. If you go for the midpipe
check your boost!!!!!! You will also probably need to port your wastergate to avoid
boost creep.

Also when you got your new FD don't forget to change all engine fluids!!

-Engine
-Coolant
-Transmission
-Differential
-Brakes

Etc.....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also:

-Lube your radio antenna.

-Do not rev the car when cold.

-Change engine oil every 2000 miles.

-Check engine oil level every 2 weeks (1 week if you ride a lot).

-Use demineralized water for engine coolant in a mixture of 60/40.

-Change this dirty fuel filter every 20.000 miles.

-Add 4 Oz of your engine oil in the gas tank. This will improve
the life of your rotary engine.



The mods on a FD are limitless (Some quys here know what I mean). But I
thing my mods list is great. Of course I may go over and over but I am not
a racetrack drivers (and I am not god) so I thing its enough for me.

Next mod??? hummmmmmmmm........Vented hood....1200$....Damn!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your FD all!!!
