Newbie with FC turbo 2 ,

[grinder]

this is very true - bright red with elec seats

the car on this thread though - doesnt sound good from the original add :

1989 rx7 turbo 2 for sale, 109,000 miles, engine needs a rebuild, no tax or mot, i have the log book, and some other history parts with it, body is in good condition, its a gun metal grey colour, interior is very nice as well, if i had the knowledge of being able to rebuild the engine i would. christmas is coming so i think i would prefer the money, not desperate to sell by any means, will be putting pics up tomorrow when its light, if your interested let me know, offers in the region of £550, i think this is more then fair for a car like this, thanks Ben

I can get you a TII engine but ensure of a price yet,its low mileage (60K) and runs perfect. manual S5 version so better turbo.  Yours looks like an s5 although a pic of the engine will confirm.  This is still in the car and I can send you a vid of it running etc if you wish. I may deliver for the right money if you buy it.

yea didnt sound good , but the guy who i bought it from does not know about cars , said he heard a woosh noise and the car started to run funny so he cut engine and towed it back home and left it there , I looked at the car and all the boost pipes where loose and hanging of with no jubileee clips on them at all , so iam crossing me fingers and hoping its not to bad but prepared if it is
The guy was being honest and looking at it worst way saying it needs new engine so he doesnt get any come backs which is fare , but knowing my luck engine will be scrap

Arrows pointing to boost pipe with missing clips also the intercooler was not bolted down , This guy was driving the car around like that he has not had anyone look at the car he said the previous owner did and the car was still running fine up untill a little while ago

if its dead - then it wouldnt be a WHOOSSSH it would be far more serious

just stick all the pipes back on and see what happens - could be a cheap motor

I\'ll phone later tonight but you will need to let me know as i have someone else interested in it.  rare to find a good running one that has not got over 100k on it.

Knowing my luck it will be serious , should have it running tmz so will know for sure
 
Thanks again all :guinness :guinness

well having a IC not bolted down would not cause the not starting.  Also the inlet hose would also not be the cause on non starting but if it came off under boost you would lose power and it would cough and smoke a bit. (done it)  I wonder if the wooosh is when he booted it and this would then unseat the IC pipes but mine simply blew right off after i forgot to tighten them. Got 2 miles down the road quite happily and as i stuck my foot down off it came. If someone has had the IC off then take it completely off and see what they have been doing. Dont be fooled by someone who claims they know nothing as most of the time they do and know exactly what S*&Te they are selling you.  This is their way of trying to get the best price and fooling you into thinking you have a bargain. This was the one that was going for £700 as I was tempted but not with a blown engine. I would only pay half that.

See Ya point , Iam looking at it worst way anyway , if it needs new engine i prepared for that , the boost pipes may of been taken of when original guy looked at the engine , but the guy i bought it from had been using the car and did not remove this clips or the intercooler ,Would love to know how much you want for yours if you would be kind enough to let me know , The car is very tidy apart from engine problem , been after a fc3s for a long time love the look the sound everything about them is cool , Giz a bell when you got 5 please ,  
 
Thanks again for the advice
Nick
