The guy emailed me back and said there is some rust but not to much..

 

Rust is very common on these old Japanese cars. Don't pay 5K for a N/A car. Its not worth it in the long run especially if you want to hop it up. Too much money spent getting nowhere fast. Buy the turbo and repaint that fender.

 

buy the turbo replace the diff with the fd one and have a little fun

 

Why replace the TII diff with an FD one? Isn't the TII diff stronger? I recall FD guys getting rid of their diff, and bolting on the TII diff.

 

unless the price goes down on the n/a I think im going to get the turbo, I was talking to the guy last night the white one for parts is rusted to hell he said its been parked on grass for a long time and the frame is gone.

 

unless you are throwing down some crazy numbers you the fd diff is good and you dont have to buy clutches to rebuild it or anything it acts like a posi rear end

 

Yeah, but the TII doesn't come with an FD diff?

 

I'd be sure I knew exactly what "some rust" was before I bought the car.

 

yea buy the s4 t2 diff housing fits a fd diff inside
