LOL at the exhaust, I know you can get a CF protector that might be able to stick over that so that the damage is covered up

Better than this FC3S:

People must remember that these engines get extremely hot,far hotter than out piston friend. I had a Nurspec exhaust on mine and it still did that. However having a slightly longer tailpipe will cure that.
having looked at those pics then you have a bargain if the engine runs or not,looks in really good condition. New plugs will quite often work especially if its not been looked after.

There should be a sticker on the drivers side scuttle panel - you\'ll see it when you open the drivers side door. Model code will be on it, then check up here...

also would be careful if it\'s been sat flooded for any length of time as it will eat your water seals

FD3S Efini · July 08, 2009, 12:46:49 PM

i think thats what happened to mine...it was flooded for bout three days, tried deflooding it everyday with no luck and the mechanic that came out to help was shocking didn\'t have a clue, but managed to get it started and then in less then 2 weeks the water seals went...gutted. but the rex is due to get a rebuild very very soon i cant wait

think that exhaust is a kakimoto stainless system...... realy nice exhaust. But for that much fire to be coming out of the rear to burn it like that, then she is running way too rich!! you should get the odd puff of fire on gear change or over run, but not enough to burn everything like that! the other posibility is the exhaust is drawing in air at some point... this will increase the flameage out the rear!

Mine used to throw fireballs out the rear about 2foot long on the old system, but one I made the stainless one & sealed it properly she doesn\'t flame atall now!

If its running that rich, then changing the air filters will help

SiH · August 14, 2009, 03:03:02 PM

Dude, what the hell has happened to the sill?!

Looks like some monkey\'s jacked the car on it

That\'s going to need a healthy repair if it\'s like that photo makes it look

m1tch · August 14, 2009, 06:57:10 PM

That looks like the kinda damage kwik fit did to my car when they changed the rear tyres *sigh* lol

Jubei695 · August 23, 2009, 04:03:09 PM

SUCCESS!

Finally got it started! went and bought some spray that you spray down the air ports and it eventually started, holy crap i nearly .... myself lol! i knew it was going to be a beast but jesus christ that thing is a monster!!
crap loads of smoke came out of the exhaust and took bout 5 mins to clear but after that it was sweet. Think after the amount of time its been stood there theres nothing to worry about!

Just a few things, erm the car was idling at about 1100rpm untill it warmed up abit then it settled at 1500rpm, that ok?
Also boost gauge was sat at about 31, that cool?
