i really want the car, just wanting to hear your guys' $.02.



i calculated about 11000 in mods.



it does have the factory stereo, he pulled a 1.05g not 1.5, he said it is capable of 1.1 now with stickier tires and better coilovers.



if it has no heat, would the car fog up if it rained and while driving it during during the winter?
Never driven an FD huh?



You dont have to worry about the windows fogging up cause of snow or rain cause you wont be driving it in snow or rain. Well you might...once!



Get a Stock Fd. Best bet! At least you know what it has.

u WILL kick yourself in the *** if u drive this car in the snow...and then u will kick yourself in the *** again while driving this car in 100 heat w/ no AC...



trust me, i know from experience...it may seem like u can deal w/ it cause the car is so nice, but u WILL regret it when summer comes...no doubt...

i wouldnt trust a car that used to be raced often...... you dont know how much wear it has on his parts , you also dont know how hard he used to drive that at the track. plus, if you want to have a comfortable car, you're better off getting a stock one and modding it

he said that all of the suspension is like 3k miles old, and he just drove it on mountain roads during the summer about every 2-3 weeks. the car did look awesome last night and was pretty kick ***. only 34k on the clock. i did do all of the tests that i have heard about, like checking boost and he did have a knock sensor hooked up, then restarted the car after 20 mins. of cool down.



it doesnt have an airbag, so that looks pretty ghetto, but that is it.
