1986 White FC3S in extremely good condition 700

[Damien]

Ok, advertising this at what I think is a cheap price compared to many other FCs I\'ve seen for sale in an attempt to sell fairly quick (as I am having to pay to store it)
. It will be available in 3 weeks when I am home and have taken the manual bits off it I need.
Basically I bought it to take the gearbox, prop, diff, pedals (basically the parts to do a manual conversion) however I will be including all the parts from my auto RX so this can still be a complete car... if you want it to be auto that is.

Its in VERY good condition, comes with a stack of paperwork showing a new exhaust and an engine rebuild less than 5K ago. It\'s an N/A 13B engine, 72K on the clock and drives very nice, sounds amazing as you would expect and can still be driven as I\'ve not taken anything off it yet.

Car has been lowered on what I suspect to be chopped springs so is a bit of a bumpy ride which is expected. Other than that its spot on, brakes are good, interior is clean. A well looked after example as the pictures show, tiny bit of browning appearing on the front edge of the sunroof.
It belonged to an old boy in surrey and was something he had sat in his garage for a good few years.

I\'ll let the pictures do some of the talking now...




700 Pounds or nearest offer gets a great looking FC3S.
Everything works, brakes, electrics, engine. Nothing I can see that this would fail a test on, even the wipers are good!

No tax
No test
completely uninterested in mot\'ing it as its off the road (paying for it to sit in private indoor parking) and as mentioned I only bought it for the running gear, I just didnt expect the whole car to be this good and is a damn shame to break it. ...Again it will include all the auto parts from my other RX7 to make it a complete car once again.

Car is colchester/suffolk border. I don\'t know the exact postcode but it\'s fairly close to sudbury.

I am fairly new to this forum and joined purely to read about other peoples cars and buy a few bits for my own.  I am a trustworthy person recognised on other forums so I hope you dont feel I am taking advantage by posting this with such few posts on this forum. Thanks :Thumbs-up

out of interest - what are you putting the manual box into ?

or even better wording , what are you taking the auto out of ?

[Damien]

The auto is coming out of my convertible fc Turbo ...I want to manualise it

[Brett]

Is it an S4 or S5 turbo?

Is the autobox in good condition?

Out of interest and not wanting to try and stir things up here but is this the best price your willing to go.... The Reason i ask is I know how much this car was sold for not too long ago.
and the fact your pulling out all the manual parts.... well.
you get what i am saying i am sure. been fancying an FC for a while

I believe its an S4 but am yet to get back to the UK and check it out.  I bought both cars whilst abroad and are in storage now in the UK

I good friend that I trust implicity collected both cars for me, checked them over and test drove them.  He reported back that the both cars drove very well.  The auto box changes gears as it should without any issues. Again it\'s still in the turbo so can be tested should you want.

Ideally I wanted a turbo box but it\'s always something I can change at a later date.  I once did a manual conversion on a skyline and what a pain in the ass that turned out to be! I learned after that to just buy an entire car next time with all the bits you need!  However that case was rather extreme, ended up changing everything from the engine to the rear hubs and EVERYTHING inbetween!!!  This time I\'m avoiding that at all costs :Thumbs-up

Hi Arnie, appreciate what you are saying.  IF you want to PM me an offer and we can take it from there.  I have afterall said that I am open to near offers.
With regards to what I paid for it, well that\'s just the way of the world and not of a much relevance here as, bare in mind that I have paid for it to be collected, transported, stored etc so it\'s never that black and white as I\'m sure you can appreciate. :cheers

It is that car yes, well thats a bummer.  Is it a case that the coupe transmission tunnel wont be big enough?  Unless someone else can confirm then I will check once back in the uk and confirm.
Either way the Coupe is still for sale without the manual running gear as previously stated and it\'s at the buyers discretion if they would like the pile of auto stuff I wont be needing/using to use or sell.

I managed to buy a vert bootlid that doesnt have the eye level brake light for cheaps looking forward to painting and fitting that... just need a subtle spoiler for it.  Anyway, hit me up with offers people.  Its got a great body, great engine and interior :driving

[grinder]

the s4 auto box ( IIRC ) is controlled by vac pipes etc.. where as the S5 is all elec controlled

[Damien]

Grinder I\'ve emailed you to both the email in your sig and your email on fc3s.co.uk

The previous PREVIOUS owner got in touch with me from Australia with some info and pictures.  Also remarking on the great condition of the body (although the engine was due a rebuild when he sold it) which was pretty cool.  He said that to start it you had to take out the egi fuse and then replace it (flooding problem?).  Anyway, that\'s not the case anymore.
These were from 2010 but it\'s remained in cosmetically the same condition.
