Car has like 175k on the chassis, 47k on rebuilt 13bt.

'91, dark blue, great paint, excellent interior in general, good suspension, OEM clutch-type LSD. This car is great fun, if you've never driven one, and aside from a few minor issues you won't find a cleaner one for anywhere even approaching this price. If you want a neat drift car that'll stand out from the leagues of 240's and Corollas, this is your ride. There aren't very many nice FC T2s running around the DC area. This is also a '91, so it's an S5, with the nicer tail lights, wheels, etc...

Problems:

Bad oil seal, so it'll need another rebuild at SOME point, but it isn't an immediate concern, drives fine (once throttle sensor gets calibrated, that is), bit of smoke on startup. To all those with misconceptions about rotary rebuilds, a FULL rebuilt won't cost a cent over $1300.

Brand new Throttle Position Sensor, but it needs to be adjusted. This is a zero-dollar fix. Take it to Malloy Mazda in VA and they'll fix it for free.

Recent power steering leak. It has to just be a loose hose or something, it's not the pump, because the fluid was still very much under pressure. This'll be a cheap, 10 minute fix once you figure out where the leak is.

This car'd normally sell for $4500-5000 easy, but we want it gone by the end of the week. Email me at cforsdavis@yahoo.com to chat about it. Asking price is $2500, but the owner (my roommate) will accept an S13 + cash (cash minimum of $850).

I'm in Kensington, MD.

We've gotten a ton of offers in the last few days, if you're genuinely interested in the FC then email the seller directly (my roommate) for fastest results.

No idea about the 1/4 time.

Once the TPS is calibrated, I imagine it'll run a hair under the stock time, due to the aftermarket exhaust.

The car is actually sold, but sold to an a$$hole, so he's giving us problems, lol.
