THE GOOD
Rebuilt Engine, lots of goodies
Head turner, always getting lots of compliments
Car built to not attract bad attention from police - even if the hood is popped
The car is ready for more boost - can safely, reliably, and easily run 10 lbs on the stock s5 turbo if you install a boost controller
If I get my asking price I'll throw in a Greddy Electronic Boost Controller that I never got around to installing.
The sunroof was recently repainted - FC sunroofs are prone to rust bubbling



THE BAD
Has a dent in the driver's side door, which oddly cannot be seen unless you're at the right angle
Has minor dents around the car, nothing too bad - its a 25 year old car
The front half bumper and side skirts are spray painted, but color matched great - however it is not a show quality paint job
The belts squeak a little
Has a minor oil leak
The three AEM gauges aren't working accurately anymore even though they're only 2 years old


Car is located in Rancho Cucamonga. Leave me a message and I'll call/text you, or email me at JASONABSENCE AT GMAIL.COM.

Also I forgot to mention that there is a crack in the front lower bumper now - I'll make sure to document that with a picture too. Theres also little things I'm sure I'm missing too, such as Corksport radiator hoses and whatnot. I also had new oil lines put in it with the last rebuild, and all new hoses of course. It also has silicon vacuum hoses. It also has a clean title.

Wow thanks everyone, I appreciate the compliments!


I also forgot to list that it has rebuilt rear axles. I know I'm forgetting things - I've been slowly building this car over the last 8 years. Its a 1 owner car by the way. My mom and dad bought it new off the lot back in '86 and its still in their name :)

^ Hahaha. Thats my brother's FC :)

Sorry guys, I'm not looking for trades, despite how sick your cars are (and they really are!)

The problem is I already have a new daily driver, and my parents, whom I live with, aren't too cool with me having two cars, especially a project car. So I'm a one car guy now.

I am willing to entertain reasonable offers though. I want to sell the FC so I can start modding my new DD.
