Thank you guys for the tips, I guess I should have mentioned that the last time the car was running a buddy was playing with the TPS and got it within spec the moved it again n the car randomly died, the gas gauge shows about 1/8 of a tank and i have read that the fuel pumps were POS anyways, unless i have leaky injectors there is no explanation for the flooding and loads of gas on my spark plugs other than LOW COMPRESSION! Can anyone share some more knowledge on the subject? BTW bro dont let somebody STEAL that gorgeous car for 8K, rebuid it.

Go pick up a compression tester for 25-40$ at sears or autoparts store have someone give you a hand cuz it's a PITA to try and watch the gauge and start the car at the same time.

I've used a video camera to film the gauge while starting the car

Good for you man. I've been on the fence about selling my FD or not over the past two years. Finally sold the streetport though to pay for other things and putting her on the back-burner until I can do her up right.

Wish you luck with the future plans.

No STi or WRX.. my shop specializes in them..and thats all I see. Thats why I went for my FD.
Genesis Coupe would be 400 a month...yikes...but with a 5 year warranty and I'd pick up immediate sponsors. If I have to rebuild it'll set me back cause I already have multiple companies wanting to sponsor my car for the track. *sigh* decisions decisions.

My car is drive-able though. I drive it every day to work & around town. I get white smoke with coolant smell hit & miss...this morning.. Nothing.
"Your shop"

JUNK IT!

21 year old kids don't deserve to own a FD. Get a FC.

Don't deserve an FD? You have no idea who I am, what I've done, & the accomplishments made. I've accomplished more things in my life that most individuals never have. For someone who's as "old" as you are...you certainly act like a child.

Here's another option - buy my running, street ported, 19k mile, motor and install it. Up and running in no time.

^Typical attitude of a teenage... Sell it. You don't have the patience for a FD. Even debating about selling it confirms you don't care for it.
