13b rew in an FC

The NA transmission in the '89 will not easily work with the REW. You *could* use a NA clutch and flywheel, but I would not recommend it. I have had very poor luck with NA FC transmissions - and I don't even have a turbo.

The FD ECU and harness are easily acquired (I think I have at least one of each lying around somewhere). The issue is connecting the appropriate ignition inputs, VSS, power, ground, gauges, etc. I looked into doing this a while back, but I never got up the ambition (that and the NA bug got me).
