To FC or not to FC....Cant decide

[ho bag]

Well i have wanted an fc for a very long time and i think im gonna do it now.

But i cant decide if i wanna do it.

I mean there old. they hard to find parts for, there not easy to work on...There is alot of reasons not to buy it...

But its rwd, small, fun and i plan on getting a non turbo and swaping in a 13bturbo or maybe even a 13brew.

I dunno can anyone give me some reason i should or shouldnt buy one?

ohoo, good luck finding a resonable fc around here. there either rotten, or the owners wank 7k for them and they are still rotten.

I'd probably just trade over to a FD chassis, cause they are sexier than anything i've seen mechanically. and you have the option of switching to a piston engines(i dont know if you can do that in the FCs) like the corvette engines and SR20's and i think even a supra engine. Rotary's are expensive period anyway. its simply your love for the ride man

FC= Cheap

Yes they are older cars, part are NOT hard to find at all. The ONLY things that's a little hard to work with is the engine. The rest of the car is like any other car, and they are easy to work on in terms of space in the engine bay and such.

N/A FC's are super reliable. up to 200,000 miles no prob. when maintained properly.

Where is "here"?

We've picked up 2 '87s (and skipped a number of crap deals... FC's grow on trees in the desert apparently...), plus plenty of "go fast" parts and have built a pretty darn fast track car, and are still well below the budget for GRM's $2007 challenge, without selling a single part.

Oh, and for the past almost 10 yrs I've been trying to find an FD to buy... they are mythical creatures where my "here" is

Also, if you put a piston where rotors were intended to be... you deserve the venereal diseases you will get

you're fired.

1. Buy an FC

2. Swap in 20b w/street port

3. Enjoy super reliable (if well maintained) awesome n/a car with ~300 hp.

Where is "here"?

Here is Nova Scotia. Canada's boonies.

This is where Canadians come to die, and everything uses salt. So keeping a car with a resonable body with more then 5 years on it is actualy a challange. Try finding a good FC around here for less then 5g and a good body on it, you'll have a pretty hard time.

If you want to go Turbo in the future, you're better off just buying a T2 from the begining. There is a lot of extra cost in turboing an N/A or putting a Turbo rotary in a N/a chasis.

Save some time/money and just go ahead and find a turbo.

lol yeah i fail at rotary's, but thats only because i havent worked with one before. Plus im the guy that doesnt have a whole lot of money to keep up the maintenance on it, so piston engine it is for me

Rotary engine+krimsonviper=FAIL

Waiting to hear back on more info

I have two FC's both listed in my sig the coupe is great car 83K and quite fast, the vert has 15xK and runs decently with a torn up ATX but still is my DD and I would not trade either

I love revving up the rotary engine there is nothing around like the sound of a rotary. Great Chassis & a fun engine what more could you want?
