So i found this FD with a salvaged title not far from me, Its got a salvage title because of a engine fire. Heres some of the details:



Car is NOT running now. TWIN TURBO - 255 HP (180MHP speedometer and 7000 RMP redline), Red, auto, around 80K miles, burned front end (hood, bumper, underhood), good tires (except one), Loaded: power sunroof, power windows/locks, factory CD (with BOSE stereo), leather, driver's airbag, ABS brakes. The engine looks OK(the fire was on the top). Apprears to have original paint and no prior body damage. Needs a passenger door (got damaged by the tow truck) PA Salvage title.

The rest of the car is in nice shape, but i dont like the fact that its an auto, that would definatly get changed. It just seems like its a great deal and could be a fun project car, and its my duty as an enthusiast to save this poor FD. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png What kind of things do you think i can expect to have to replace mechanically with a car like this to get it running, i havent gone to see the car yet in person to see how bad it is and the guy doesnt seem like he knows a whole lot about it. So do you guys think i should go for it or just get a TII. I really dont mind not having a running car right away.

That's cheap, but the fact that it's auto would stop me.

i dont like the fact that its an auto either, and ive heard you can change it over to 5spd for around $1000-$1500. Plus i could sell the auto trans.

selling fd for 12k

car has 100k on chasis and about 15k on the rebuilt (stock) very high compression (last tested)

can't think of anything else

bad stuff: 1000-1500 in repairs needed. why:

missing both headlight covers

rear pass taillight bulb is out

weather stripping on driver side missing

no door locks (can't find my replacements, when my doorlocks broke off)

car is being sold without tb, uim and alternator. (parts can be had cheap from jesse lau (great ebay seller from japan) and also jt-imports.com

stock ic and intake piping removed (but will sell with the car)

no steering collar and stock wheel with airbag disconected (will come with the car)



thats my car in a nutshell. i have other mods but i wll not include because it was promised to someone else (the reason why alot of missing pieces)

im sure your car is great, but this FD is 3G..not 13G https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png... i dont have that much cash at the moment. Im just looking for a fun, cheap project car where i can learn a bunch and have a bad ass car when im done. It would probably cost me a bunch to get the car to where i like it, but i think it would be good. I dont need this car everyday to be my daily driver, not yet at least https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png so i think it would be ok, anyone think otherwise?

If it cost 3k exspect to spend another 10k to get it running and cleaned up after a fire.

that car would be good for a race car............... get a TII instead

who says i dont want a race car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png haha, im gonna go check it out this weekend if the weather clears up. lll let you guys know how that goes, i might come back with a "new" car. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I'd buy it and part it If I had 3k to spend, but I just bought another fd to part a month ago.

i had planned on fixing it up if its in decent condition..you dont think it would be worth it to do that? Any tips/ specfic things that i should look for when checking this car out?
