Yeah, im starting to realize that. but ive spoke to the people at Mazcare and they said i can drop it off in jan to start to get the leaks and a few other things worked out. apparently this motor in it has been rebuilt recently ( as in the last year) so im going to have them fix the leaks, check the compression and fix a few other small things. then its on to a FMIC, Some fuel management, and a little bigger turbo with some supporting mods. just did a test pipe 2 days ago. so ill keep y'all posted
-
ummmm i was told the motor hadn't been rebuilt. but then again... who knows whats really gone on with it. i would just go ahead and rebuild it.. its a turbo, be safe :)

I keep hearing that it has, and i have heard it has not been. thats why im gonna let mazcare do a compression test. But ill just end up ordering a rebuilt motor from rotary resurrection or buying a JDM S5 motor. one of the two.

I have an 87 TII completely stock with 97,000 original miles and I've had it for 2 years with no problems (well a window switch is burned out but nothing related to the drivetrain). You'll love it to death.

i love my FC, and FCs in general!
i looked at that car on the side of macland road, it was chained to 2 old school jet skis. i remember that dent above the tail light. the fact that it was an arctic silver turbo II surprised me, had never seen one.
that car is in better condition than most, good luck with it, keep up the maintenance.
and dont worry what people say about them being unreliable and problematic, if you love the car, it will love you.
i daily drove my first FC for 2 years and put about 60k on it, and it never left me stranded, the motor is in my second FC and now has about 180k on it and still runs strong. dont forget to redline it under load regularly (warmed up of course).
