FC or FD the choice is yours alone

Hey , is it just me or is the FD's kinda miata ish little odd to me and the extra horse power wont keep me from laughing , on the outher hand i have an FC (90 n/a 101,983 miles and still running great without rebuild an automatic no mods , stero of course [300 watt Rampage jenssen pioneer]) and its the best car ive ever owned needs a few hair line dents and cracks fixed and repainted and one minor rust spot fixed (i should fix it my self but lazy me cant get my *** away from computer) and it has the ultra slick mat black all leather interior is it just me or is that rare, no oil spots under it only major prob is my left front wheel barring is gone, gone bad still drives and rides nice with my auto adjusting supision ,,, hehehe.!



got carried away ......

Sorry man...If I had to choose between a T2 or an FD ( both being in good condition ) Id take the FD in a heartbeat.

yeah FD is a sweet car. i wouldnt neccisarily give mine up for one, but if i wanted a 2nd RX-7, an FD would be what id look for. i love my FC too much to just dump it, even for an FD. but im not opposed to owning two rotary beauties.

Personally I think that the FD is the best car ever concieved (I'm a HUGE no RIDICULOUSLY HUGE fan of RX7's), I love the FC (and do own one that I've been building on for almost a year on and off), but hands down the FD is better to me no matter what you do to the FC. I plan on either the end of this year or spring '03 owning an FD in Black Mica w/the '02 Spirit R body style (looks almost identical to the '99 model year body). To see a picture of the car go to supercars.net. I only wish that they would've brought the RX7 back to America, but alas this is the last year for production in Japan as well as a matter of fact I think the 22 of this month is it (forgot the exact date).

By the way I don't have ANY plans on adding anything to the FD except for sport suspension (not coilovers), and maybe a sport exhaust I love the car for it's original design (oh yea and of course some lovin for the intercooler which is the only "weak area" on the car if you know what I mean). The only way I'll add some serious stuff is if I have 2 FD's...that's just how much I love the stock car. :-)

FC any day of the week. Knowing what I know about FD's and the costs of parts and maintenance compared to the FC, that is all there is to it. I could own an FD, but I just like the FC better. I could buy an FD and have both I guess I am just having trouble finding a 93 CYM from an original owner with under 40K on the clock. But I'm not picky or anything LOL

Fd over Fc cause their rare in Saskatchewan. But I'd still rather have a Skyline GTR 34 v-spec. If only I had $100,00.
