Help!!!!

One more thing - I see that this site has a classified section. Do you think it would be a good idea to put it out there to see if anyone would be interested in buying it as is? I could reference back to this thread to explain and be honest will the issues. As much as I'd love to find an easy fix, at this point I think I would take the first decent offer I could. And for someone that can work on the car personally, it would be a great deal since it is otherwise in perfect condition.

You can always throw it up here. We don't get as much traffic as some of the other sites. That choice is up to you. Sounds like these cars are a life long passion. Might be better to fix it up and enjoy.

Valid point you make there Gunny...

But live and learn.

Never say never... You could probably find a pretty decent condition FC (second gen) for a decent price.. The FD (3rd Gens) were pretty much the pinnacle when it comes to combined handling and power, but they're expensive (relative to an FC or RX-8) and also can be very fickle if something goes wonky with the turbo control solenoids.

I'm with Jack (JL1RX7) on this one... Why fix the problem just to get rid of the car? A lot of the problems can be sorted with some good preventative maintenance.
