My FC ran better then any car I've had...... took me a year to build it then a month to diagnose some small issues. Then it was amazing. Then I sold it a month later and bought an Audi.... lmao

I paid $600 for the car and put 3500 into it. Sold it for $4900 lol. Normal compression on them is 90 and mine had nearly 110 so it was just really really strong so everyone wanted it. Bought the Audi for $4600 and it was ok till I decided it was too slow lmao.

Wow you made out like a bandit on that deal. You stuff a TII in there? I find it hard to believe someone would pay that much for a n/a. That must have been one clean fc to get away with that lol.

It appears I'm one of the few that kind of misses my FD?

The FD is far sexier then any Evo will ever be. I came from owning over 6 Rx-7's, 4 FC's and 2 FD's.

I miss the pure exoticness of the FD, even though it wasn't an exotic alot of people saw it that way. It was everything I wanted out of a sports car except of being worried when the engine was gonna let lose. No matter how much maintenance and care you would give for the car the engine was was, as hard as it is for me to say, 100% unreliable. I was always worried to take it on drives far away.

The Evo is a good balance of hardcore sports car performance and reliability.
