So... No new work has occurred on my car yet... However my wife and I just got home from vacation outside of the country and I've got the (bosses) "go ahead" to start fixing up the FD
My game plan right now is to:
1 - Pull and rebuild the engine. The extent of the damage will be known once it's apart. I'm planning right now on needing to replace the soft seals, the e-shaft, and all internal bearings that could/would be damaged by an oilless environment. Obviously the rotors/housing/irons will be cleaned and checked for damage. Also I'll be checking on the clearances of the apex, side and corner seals. My last engine had it's unfortunate accident in the 3,000-4,000 mile range, so ideally the clearances that were set then should still be pretty damned close to spot on.
2 - Replace the PFC I've been running for years with a Life Racing F88RS. I picked the new ECU up from Glenn (Mazpower), who is now one of the US's newest Life Racing dealers
3 - Build new wiring harness for the ECU.
4 - Replace my stock coils/HKS Twin Power with 4x IGN-1A coils.
5 - Replace the stock trigger with an FFE Trigger Wheel.
6 - Brew plenty of beer to keep people relaxed and low-stress while this Build v2.0 happens
First things first though... I gotta clean the SHIT out of my garage (as anybody who's been to my place can attest to, lol) and make some sort of work table/bench in there that I can use to work on. Hopefully I'll be adding more updates, with progress and pictures, in the near future ^_^
