It'd be pretty hard to blow a motor in 1,500 miles and keep in that good condition. Doesn't seem likely.

it may be bad form just sitting and not being run, carbon build up or summat.

the rotor oil seal o rings dont like to sit, and what are the chances it has the original coolant in it too?

Gorgeous car, no doubt. But COLLECTOR'S ITEM? Come on guys... Who the hell CARES! It's an FD!! A SPORTS CAR! Not meant to sit in a garage and be friggin looked at all the time. If I EVER see one like that I'll steal it and put some REAL miles on it.



I mean... What are you going to do with a collector car when you die? Take it with you? It's just like money. SPEND IT. It means jack **** when you are dead.



For 36K I could EASILY completely rebuild a battered FD. And have all the goodies. Big single, wheels, fresh paint, awesome suspension.... Who want's a stock FD? Not me!!!



Very pretty car though. Nice find. I just think its an eight year old WASTE.

Yea, I know exactly what you mean Justin. I was simply bringing that FD to everyone's attention, because you don't hardly see many like that one.

Very true. Just so sad that people can't keep them in good shape while driving them at the same time.
