1995 FD3S in chaste white

[RobMatthews]

I have coming up in the next few weeks a 1995 PT chaste white fd.

This i bought through Ross at dragon last year from Japan, with the intention of fitting all my \'old\' track car parts to-engine, single tub, suspension etc. So went about completly stripping the car and refurbishing all the parts such as the arms, subframes etc-see pics(more to come when on the mot ramp).

Unfortunatly plans and health changed so restored her back to completly standard with the exception of the 17" alloy wheels and 4 brand new tyres, cat back hks silent power (almost new) and lowering kit, uprated pads all round(from japan-unknown brand)mazdaspeed ppf, exidy stage 1 clutch, braided brake and clutch lines

Engine wise,completly standard down to the air box:) all i\'ve done is replaced the rats nest/vacume piping with blue silicone piping along with the water overflow pipes to/from the ast.

Interior is also standard carbon style seats in good condition with no rips/tears etc and im pretty sure has the later spec dash fitted to, this car also benifits from having the rear bins again all in very good condition with no damage.
Mot in the next weekish so will come with full 12 months and is currently unregistered so buyer will be the first \'registered\' person for this car.

From the front of the car working back, the car was stripped of engine,gearbox, diff and subframes, arms etc. With the engine out of the way the engine bay was also rubbed down and repainted, front sub shotblasted and powder coated black as standard,lower and upper arms cleaned and laquered along with the upright,brake calliper was also inspected for any leaks etc befor being cleaned and repainted in black high temp paint,

Rear sub was again shot blasted and powdercoated black as standard, arms etc again cleaned and laquered to stop the alloy from fluffing, brakes inspected for wear and leaks befor being cleaned and treated to a coat of black high temp paint to match the front.
all brake flexilines are also braided.

Diff was stripped inspected and cleaned befor being refitted with new oil :)and on poly bushes.

The manual gearbox has new oil and selects all gears no problem
Engine is serviced with new water, oil+filter and also re-newed the fuel filter behind the diff while it was easy to get to.

You will also notice in the pics ALL the suspension nuts/bolts fixings have been cleaned and re-zinc coated and gold passivated ABSOLUTLY NO rusty nuts and bolts on this car! i have not done a half ass job on this one!


Bodywork wise the car has a vented bonnet, which came from japan,very lightweight fitted with flush bonnet locking pins, RE-Amemiya front bumper and RE-Amemiya standard looking spoiler \'beefed up\' . the car has also just been washed polished and waxed to help keep the original paintwork looking its best which is 99% very good with just one small stone chip on the front bumper and one or two very small(10mm maybe)behind the wheels from stones.

All light duty fixings such as wings also now benifit from A2 grade ss button head allen key fixings.

No i have not yet got a compression test but will have one done asap(with in next 3-4 weeks).But does start hot or cold and pressurises correctly etc.

I know i am way down south west and right out the way so will create an album of pics from every angle of anything and everything so you can have a virtual \'walk around\' as soon as it stops raining!, but here are a few from yesterday to show you what it looks like.




















More to come when it stops raining
looking for £5350 but open to sensable offers, i may take a blown fd in px try me

Very nice, I\'m just waiting to sell mine and I\'m after a clean rx in white! You are a very long way from me being about a six hour drive! Let me know when you\'ve had compressions done. What sort of mileage has thencar done as seems to not
Have been rebuilt.. Or is it me?

[RobMatthews]

Milage is still in KMS and reads 108000 i think from memory,its had a rebuild from knightsports but have no proof so did not want to state that, as i dont want to be misleading
A compression test will be a good indictor of the life of the engine though

The distance is a problem yes thats why i will compile a photographic \'walkaround\' of the car so any interested people can have a good look round befor actually committing to a long drive!

[Leooo]

Thanks for getting back to me, honesty is appreciated, as you probably know with no proof I\'ll have to assume that it hasnt been done and will go off the compressions only. I\'ll have to factor that cost at some stage mind. I\'m after a well looked after good condition with a rebuilt engine. Once you get the compressions let me know. Looks ace mate!
