Multi owner cars

Hey guys,

Just a quick rant. I love working on my FD, but man I hate the fact that multiple people have owned it before me. I was taking the radiator out yesterday and found that only one of the two fans was plugged in. No wonder my temps were warm before I started taking things apart. What previous owner did that?

Sigh....

Edit: Woops, I meant to post this in the lounge. Mods, please move.

- Andy

When I got my car, the radiator was zip-tied to the intercooler.

Sorry guys but I beat all of you. Taking apart my car I found a "block heater" I have never even seen block heaters on any rotaries before. There was like a heating element on the side of the front rotor housing with a plug. Also many many lines were zip tied for the "alarm" god I hate alarms.

My 7 has random wires cut in random places. The body looks like it was beat on with a baseball bat. There are connectors that are randomly unplugged. Previous owners suck.

I was lucky.....mine was owned by a dude in his mid 50s who kept it stored in a heated, carpeted garage, and his only mod was the stereo system .

I won't even start to list some of the things i found about mine.

Really wonder why ppl do certain things to such nice cars. Probably a major lack of knowledge.
