I have this car for a while now, been sitting in my shed gathering dust!
I am back home for a little while so i said id get it back to former glory:cool:

I got the car more or less complete minus some rims and seat,
so was lucky enough to find a sweet staggered set of advan model 5's 9j et22 and 9j et 10 respectively...the nicest wheels for a fc imo!
fitment needs more tinkering but will sort all that when engine is back in and up and running!

I got the 13b engine with this car, which was blown.
A suspected apex seal failure, i strpped the engine down today to find the apex seals had broken up which lead to heavy damage on the rear rotor and rear rotor housing.Both the rotor and housing would have to be sourced as part of a rebuild which would add to cost.
Although think i may have a bare block which was rebuilt a short time ago sourced, so will use this and rebuild my own maybe in the future and keep as a spare.

Ha yea they are a really cool car...it's a privilege to have one!

Hopefully will have a fresh block sorted by the end of next week...would I be able to get it mapped /tuned on the greedy piggy back device?
A greedy reibac fuel controller??

Suppose a piggy back is better than nothing but Id be looking into a full ECU for piece of mind..

Power FCs are near impossible to find for FCs and dont know what else they are mapped on in the UK really

It's a r-magic kit, I love the bN kit for them...probably hard to keep on Irish roads though!!

Have an engine bought should be here Monday hopefully along with few more goodies...can't wait to get it driving!
