Just want to say hi to everyone, i know i havn't posted in a long time, i have just been reading the forums, not alot of activity, and my posts seemed more annoying then helpful. Anyways.

Im going to take a look at a 1990 TII On Saturday, Guy says there is no rust, And 100 000kms (Canada not sure how many miles that is) Anyways, i just thought i'd ask around and see what i should be looking at. I have 2 pictures of it, ill post, The biggest concern is it doesn't have a turbo. He had a TD06SH-20G In there which is an upgraded turbo from stock i believe, and it was like a week old and he blew it, apparently he had the lines messed up. And he doesn't wat to invest in another turbo. So He's selling it, and for pretty cheap. 4500$ Canadian. When i go to look at it what should i be looking for and have any tips?

Thanks again, ill post pictures asap.

LOL nice avatar Canaduh, glad to see you back here.

Yeah, likewise!

I'd do the compression test and see if it's OK... Turbo can be rebuilt

And ck for rust on body...especially under the hatch glass seal.

Ck transmission to see if it's been maintained properly.

And remember...this FC has been MODDED = hard ridden. So, inspect it well.

You know, Canaduh... it's all depends what you want or going to do.
Meaning, buying for the complete package? or good "project" car.

Good luck...and glad you're back!

BTW, if you get that FC we can't give you a bad time about you not owning a rotry anymore

Mwaahhaaha, that was the plan! Yeah, he said he hasn't raced it, the only real mod's on the car is mostly for looks. But he has put a huge blowoff valve, and had a big turbo on there for all of a day, and it must have run like crap if the lines were messed up. Anyways, thanks for the comments guys, ill be sure to take my time while looking at it.

Shaggy- Haha, thanks man, i had a laugh with my avatar as well. I sent you a PM

Black rocket - Yeah if i get it, im sure im going to be using it for transportation, but every saturday go try to find someone to race or seomthing, maybe take it to the track someday too, who knows! Ill make sure to take a look around the frame and stuff too. He said avsolutely no rust, its been garaged for 3 years. Driven only on weekends, which again makes me believe he raced it... Anyways, im gonna go, illt alk to you guys later

Well took a look at it yestrerday, Its in immaculate condition. No rust anywhere. And the guy was very upstraight about everything, he has papers from everything. The car has never been winter driven and the first owner didn't even drive it in rain, and it shows. He said the only place he has ever seen rust in was the wheel wells, and I looked and there was almost nothing. Anyways, he's giving me the turbo he ruined as well, im sure i can get it rebuilt. All the manifolds and everything he had shipped from Japan. The body is immaculate, besides the hood, there is 2 minor dents in it, but thats nothing im worried about. Anyways, Ill post some pictures when its in the garage. Im very happy with the conditioon of the car, and the price at which he sold it. He just had it street ported and polished, and the engine is fresh from a rebuild, only 900kms ago. engine looks brand new as well. Anyways ill let you guys know whats going on.

I forgot to mention it comes with PowerFC. at least 1000$ right there.

**AusTexRex** · 02-28-2005, 10:44 PM

PFC is indeed a nice bonus, if you can handle it's sketchiness and random bugs.

**Canaduh** · 03-01-2005, 12:41 AM

Nice to see ya AusTex. I was just wondering what other seats would fit in the rx7 seat rails without doing any/much work. If there isn't anything nice, ill probably rip the stockrails out. Was just wondering if any of you knew.
