Sorry guys no pics..., Didn't even think of it while I was there. Nice car though. Suspension is shot and the wheels rub on the fenders. Needs a new fuel management computer but other than those "little" things (so my son says) the car actually sounds good and is pretty fast.

Pulled the duel turbo and replaced with a single as well the engine was rebuilt 20,000K ago with full recipts and the current owner has 3 of them, one he races. He seemed pretty honest.

Were going to check into how much to fix the things that we identified and go from there.

Nice custom royal blue with copper flake paint job.

Gotta love the FD3S.... I was so close to getting one instead of the S, but I just didn't wanna deal with the hassle if any engine issues came up. My buddy had a '93, twin turbo, and he said it was bitch to find a good mechanic and expensive whenever anything came up.

I too might've bought FD3S if it weren't for notorious issues they encounter.

I have a good friend with one, stage 3 engine build up, It only lasted 25000kms but he rips to hell with the engine. Dave just let your son know those engines dont last at all and each time will cost 3000+ for the rebuild. But im sure he has done his research, must be nice is it his first car? Btw Forcefeed Is the only place he should remotely trust in BC. "says my friend"
