-- The car itself is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I was just at the Atlanta-based meet at Andretti Speed Lab, and not only was I THE only rotary-powered car, but here I was, TURBO, fast as hell, and had people telling me they had never seen a nicer/cleaner FC before. The paint is less than 3 years old. Interior's almost flawless.

-- Why am I selling it? I DON'T WANT TO!!!! But, I've acquired myself some pretty bad debt with my family and paying that back is what's most important to me.

-- ONLY major problem with the car is the transmission. It has a bad 5th gear synchro, so that has to be delt with. Besides that, I THINK the previous owner had cut the wiring harness, so there's no where to plug up the o2 sensor, and I can't figure out how to plug up the stock oil-pressure gauge. Also, for some UNKNOWN reason, the turbo timer has stopped working. So, I have it set to show voltage from the battery. I've been told it's a common problem with the HKS Type Zero turbo timers...

*****I bought the car from Texas, and it has a Rebuilt Salvage title. I found out through CarFax that it was involved in some minor fender bender, and after having it inspected by Georgia Inspections, I was told the front bumper and side-panel were replaced.....WOW.....that's....nothing. It is however very important that you KNOW about the title, and be aware of your state's requirements for registration of a Rebuilt Salvage vehicle. Georgia owners need no worry.

***ALSO NOTE: All emissions equipment have been removed, and blocked off with a plate. I have a current Georgia inspections papers. Connections.

- PRICE: $6,000 (OR BEST OFFER...open to trades + cash)

[my 1 88 u]

We met you at the drift meet and my homeboy Brandon took a test ride with you and said the car is FAST AS HELL. Sorry to hear that you have to sell it but good luck.

God, that's nice. If I didn't have a Turbo II already, I'd buy it like that. ::Snaps Fingers::. But wife says we got enough toys, and we need to sell one of them and buy something family-oriented.

That's what she thinks.

[LionheartFC3S]

haha, thanks guys for the positive feedback.

Truth is, as I said, I wouldn't sell it if I didn't have to.

But selling it, is the ONLY way I can pay off my family debt, tickets, and then FINALLY start holding onto my paychecks.

[LionheartFC3S]

Bump.


No love for the FC?

[NismoSigma]

OMG! That thing looks so sick and clean! Unfortunatly im in NJ. oh well, hope the car finds a good new home!

[Loxam]

Lovely cars these, use to own one and I regret selling it, make sure you know what your doing!

Are those pics old? They look like S4 fuel rails, S4 water pump housing, S4 alternator, and a compressor upgrade on a stock hotside?

The shortblock of the motor is S5, which was bought having 35,000-40,000 original miles on it. Everything else is S4.

As stated, we switched out the S5's electrical oil-metering pump, back to the S4's more reliable/efficient S4 mechanical OMP. Every other manifold, and piece to the motor, is S4. When I bought the car, it had a blown S4 motor in it.

Now, my plan was to have swapped out EVERYTHING to S5, but when I bought the motor, I was ripped off, because I was supposed to get the motor with EVERYTHING, except a tranny. The guy took EVERYTHING off the motor before selling it to me, and so yeah, I was ripped off.

During the process of swapping out the OMP, I replaced every single seal and gasket on the motor. I'm not talking apex seals, I'm talking water pump seals, injector seals, etc.

No. You'd be surprised how big the turbo really is. Compressor housing ratio is .70AR, and I believe the exhaust housing is the same, it's quite big, and it's got some massive spool to it. I don't get full boost till 5,000 or so, but after 5,000, it's a whole different car. It's DEFINITELY an upgrade from stock. hah

[Infini IV]

Ok, so it is a compressor upgrade mated to the stock hotside. If you don't full boost till 5000rpm with that, there is a serious problem.

Nothing about the turbo is stock, or came from the stock turbo. Full boost isn't till so late, BECAUSE of it's size. This turbo is capable of a solid 18psi safely, but of course, I'd never run that much on the stock seals.

So to answer your question, no. It's not just a compressor upgrade. The entire turbo w/ internal wastegate, are completely different. It IS Garret turbo, I was told it's a "T4", which I believe is capable of 18psi.

[LionheartFC3S]

Bump!

[Cobra_R]

if u were in CA i would so be all over that but, your not
im looking for a T2, cant find any.

[LionheartFC3S]

I got the car shipped from Texas in ONE day for $350..

There are web-sites where you put in the distance and the amount you want to spend, and it does sort of a process of elimination. This car would love a home in Cali. lol
