93 ONIGIRI build
immigrating from okinawa and working in the rotary biz since 1995, i eventually purchased a 1993 base model FD3S (auto)... yeah. don't ask me why i ended up getting an auto FD, but my future posts will provide useful information.
09/11/04: 75k (9k on rebuild) full stock, except for the after market stereo system. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...c/DSCF1417.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...c/DSCF1419.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...c/DSCF1420.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...c/DSCF1421.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...c/DSCF1418.jpg |
That's an awful big box for a single 10" sub (?) But then again I'm just jealous. ;)

VERY nice - I hope when I'm ready to get in the FD scene there are still clean ones like that available!

i started to replace parts that needed immediate attention, which the previous owner ignored to repair... *AC BELT, DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY, V BELT, THERMO WAX VALVE, FRONT/REAR BRAKE PADS, FRONT REAR BRAKE ROTORS, BRAKE LINES, O2 SENSOR, OIL PAN, OIL PAN GASKET, and HOSE RETURN LINE.

08/22/2005: 78K (TRANNY SWAP)
After this experience, I highly recommend that if you plan to purchase an FD, definitely pick up a Manual Transmission. The cost for doing the tranny swap varies, which the following indicates my route: USED PARTS: MANUAL DIFFERENTIAL MANUAL DRIVESHAFT MANUAL TRANSMISSION MANUAL STARTER CLUTCH PEDAL MANUAL ECU TOTAL USED PARTS: $1,283.04 NEW PARTS: CLUTCH PIPE (FD01-41-360A) $8.19 CLUCH PIPE (FD01-45-510D) $8.19 HOLDER (FD03-41-370) $6.63 HOLDER (FD00-41-370) $5.94 CLIP (0136-43-635) $0.94 (need 2) PAD (FB01-64-495) $1.50 INSULATOR (FD01-64-495) $39.94 CLUTCH MASTER (FD01-41-990B) $88.88 CLUTCH SLAVE (FD01-41-920) $76.25 CLUTCH RELEASE FORK (N315-16-520B) $77.38 EXTENSION HOUSING SEAL (R501-17-335A) $13.94 OIL SEAL (H501-17-103) $3.13 SPINDLE (R503-17-550) $40.69 SHIFTER BUSHING (0398-17-462A) $3.75 MANUAL WIRE HARNESS (N3A1-18-05ZG) $700.00 TRANNY/STARTER BOLTS $35.55 CLUTCH RELASE BEARING (N315-16-510) $66.88 TOTAL OEM PARTS: $1178.72 EXEDY TWIN PLATE CLUTCH $1355.00 B&M SHORT SHIFTER $129.02 MOMO SHIFT KNOB $84.00 STAINLESS STEEL CLUTCH LINE $38.00 TOTAL AFTERMARKET PARTS: $1606.02 GRAND TOTAL: $4067.78 http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...clutch-640.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...c/CIMG0293.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...c/CIMG0112.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...c/CIMG0294.jpg |

08/22/2005: 78K (FUEL FILTER, DIFFERENTIAL MOUNTS)
As I was doing the tranny swap, it was a good time to replace the fuel filter, which needed replacement after hard morning start ups. RP Fuel Filter http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...lter_large.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...c/CIMG0111.jpg This is probably one of the worst locations for replacing the fuel filter, which I also decided to replace the differential mounts.

Nice car! Watching closely (you're thread inspired me to get started on my mounts'!)

08/22/2005: 78K (Fuel Pump)
After installing a new fuel filter, it was a good time to install a new fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator.

08/22/2005: 78K (Suspension)
After 12 years of use on the original suspension, it was time to swap out and replace them with new suspension reinforcements.

07/02/2006: 78K (Cooling)
At this time, all necessary cooling upgrades were add, which modifying a poorly designed intercooler was a must. The original design blocks off the air flow for the radiator, which in Japan a common mod would be to cut a core out (this does not affect the performance of the FMIC).

07/02/2006: 78K (Wires)
This is probably one of the worst mods that I have done. Definitely drains if you don't start up within a week, yet convenient fit within its original space.
