an 18 year old with an FD?....what is the world coming to? Well dont let him fool you. My dad owns the FD in all reality. He went and picked up this silver FD at an auction, because he figured it was trashed and would make a decent parts care for me. But, obviously, it turned out to be in pretty kick-ass condition. But thats why it was so easy to let my parents know I wanted the Silver one. They are getting my VR and I have no idea what they are gonna do with it. But so far, my little brother has some serious experience and knowledge to learn before he gets in an FD. So.........keep reading boi https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png |
Lol, I got mine at 20. There is more 16-20soethings out there with great paying jobs than people think.

He's a Highschool student. My dad actually owns the car. Youngin here will have some serious research, and experience to gain before my old man lets him buy the car from him.

Alright, also should I get a compression test? The lady who owned it before said it needed new seals and the bearing on the turbos wern't exactly on. Could someone explain this more in depth to me? What do I need to do to replace the seals and fix the bearings on the turbos? 1st off you should have done the compression test before you bought it....if you do it now it's just for your reference. If she said it needed seals she is probably reffering to coolant seals, because if it were your apex seals the far would run fairly rough depending on the severity, with that many miles on the turbo's there very well could be some wear on the turbo bearings, if it turns out to be either your coolant seals or the apex seals your looking at an engine rebuild. You can have the turbo's dont when you do the engine and then everyting will be "exactly on" |

Couldn't get a compression test before It was bought (was bought at an auction on the spur of the moment) Im pretty sure that it is coolant seals... Luckly its Sweet7's now.....he can deal with it in a few months lol.
