Well then im looking at getting a 3rd gen. i was wanting to know what should i do to it to make it a day to day driver for me...when i do get one i am probly going to get a new motor and such but what kinda relible mods should i do to it....


Thanks Stephen

 

Do a search because this has been asked many times in the 3rd gen forum and has even been posted on some web sites.

 

make sure you have a back up car!!!

 

I wouldn't recommend an FD for a DD. It makes for a great weekend car, but get something better for daily driving first, then get one(if you don't have one already). A Camry, Civic, Corolla, Accord or something along those lines are usually cheap, hold up well and are great for daily driving.

An FD is a great car to drive for fun or on the weekends. But as far as every-day commute you'll deal with lots of issues like high temps, which eventually lead to broken coolant hoses that leak...all kinds of stuff.

Plus, FD's are not gas-friendly. Depending on your drive you could spend several dollars a week just on gas. So when you consider higher insurance premiums, high gas prices, the reliability issues..etc., I don't think it's a good choice for a daily.

 

well i do agree with Elevation7, DD FD is not the best idea but it does work, i do it. if you do go with the FD as DD, new engine is good start, but search for more info, there are small things to big things that can help. new vac lines is a good one from personal exp. to start.

 

thanks all yea im looking for one with no engine so i can start all over..and i alredy know how the gas goes right now i drive a G35 witch sucks down gas like there is no tomarrow.......

yea i have just hured that they can be a DD you just got to put a good amount of cash in to it first....

 

good times. do it get the FD

ps. my mpg is around 12.
