Hi from Peoria IL

dude, this is kinda cool! I have a relative that lives in Peoria, maybe I could help you a bit with this! I'm in Champaign, IL

for all you guys talking about a standalone computer, there wasnt a whole lot of competent rotary tuners in central IL, even less who could tune a single turbo FD. Sure he can get it towed out to Banzai Racing, but that will be hella expensive on top of all the other shit he would have to do.

My advice:

Make sure you have the space, time, and funds to do this project properly.
Get all necessary tools that you will need, like an engine stand, engine hoist (I got one I can lend if you pick it up) rotary Engine stand adapter (pineapple racing has one)

Tear down the car and acess the extent of the damage before making any decisions about what parts you need to buy...

Personally, I would do:

New used stock wiring harness
emission block off plates
convert turbos to non-sequential setup for ease of use
find someone who's parting out an FD on here or the evil forum.
Fix car.

Cordially,

Max.

PS: oh yeah, and welcome to the club, glad to have you over here!

Max,

Thanks for the advice. I am planning to pull the engine and maybe even have it rebuilt while it's out. I will get the engine bay repainted so it looks like new and replace everything that melted. I have located most of the major parts from a guy on Craig's list out of Chicago. He even has a polished intake and alternator. That would really look nice. He also has two harnesses, one with 6000 mi and one with 55000 mi. I might need that engine stand if you will not be needing it for a while. If you have any leads for the parts I need, please send them my way. Thanks again.

Ed
