Hi all, for sale is my 1989 FC3S Turbo II Vert.
I absolutely love this car but I don\'t get to drive it enough to justify the running costs. I\'ve driven it a fair bit over the last few weeks due to the weather being pretty good and nothing beats scraping along the road with the roof down soaking up the sun.
Spec:
72k miles (will change as used frequently)
Taxed until end of May 2012
MOT\'d until June 2012
Kei Office coilovers
Weds Farmas wheels (17x8, 17x9)
DTSS (rear steer) eliminators (these are very hard to get hold of and absolute pain to fit, I had them custom made for me)
Exedy six-puck clutch, lightened flywheel and Mazda counterweight
Welded diff
Nardi Deep Corn 350mm
Turbosmart boost gauge (water and oil temp gauges aren\'t wired up)
S13 front lip (not currently fitted)
25mm bolt-on spacers at the front, 8mm slip-ons at the back

I really don\'t want to see this car go, when the sun\'s out and the roof\'s down it really is awesome, but at the moment it\'s just a posing car. It drifts really nicely and easily but it\'s not really an ideal first drift car (it\'s my first RWD car) as it\'s just too nice to smash up! In an ideal world I\'d be able to keep it, clean it up and make it the ultimate lifestyler car but I do actually want to go drifting in anger at some point!
Mechanically speaking, the car is excellent. The engine starts first time, every time and has never let me down. It pulls brilliantly through the gears and is definitely no slouch. The clutch is also excellent, with the gearbox though second is occasionally a little crunchy when you\'re flooring it and changing gear but 99% of the time it\'s fine. The underside of the car is a little worse for wear as you would expect being this low but everything\'s still in one piece!
On the outside, it\'s a little tatty in places, the factory standard roof rips are present and the front wings could definitely use some TLC, but other than that it definitely seems structurally sound. I also have the roof cover thingy that you can put on when the roof\'s down (can\'t for the life of me remember what it\'s called but I hear they change hands for a fair bit).
Price-wise, I\'m going to put £2600 as I\'ve spent an awful lot of time and money sourcing a number of the parts as FC parts aren\'t exactly the easiest to find. I am open to offers AND swaps, depending on what it is of course.
Feel free to send me a PM but please don\'t be offended if I seem really reluctant to sell the car...I\'m not ashamed to say that, despite it making little sense to me practicality-wise, I adore it.
how much..? :rollin

Found the car I want, need this gone ASAP. Willing to remove coilovers and/or wheels and replace them with standard items if the need be to bring the cost down. Can also remove the Nardi and/or gauges if you want to knock a couple more quid off!
Open to offers, try me. Get your hands on a \'vert ready for summer pimping season!
if you wanna donate the front lip to me , i dont have a problem with that :D
