i rarely contest anything vosk says.... but FD = classic styling?



anyways, FC's have a nice sleeper look to them (ricers dun know wut a FC is capable of) where as a FD LOOKS DAMN FAST; and it is.

unless you mean like... NOW they have a classic styling (10 years old = kinda classic.) but when they came out, there were fresh and new and batmobile super car looking.

Yah what foops said. FD just look ******* fast. I wouldnt **** with one. Fc look like a reg car compared to the FD. But other rice burners wont know what hit em. Hit em up ROTARY style!!!!!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif

when i meant classic i meant it looks hands down better than a FC. i've owned both the FC is a more comfortable car but the FD is more like a race car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

we'll i only have an fc and its my first but i was planning on fd,,the money thing really came into play,,one has to consider budget,,i know gas with my fc is a killer and i dont even wanna think about what its like with a twin turbo td,,if something stupid goes i gotta replace it with a part that cost mad dough (i can normaly just use this as a good reason to go performance) so thats good and bad,,fc is a sleeper fd's r anything but,,fd's do look realllyyy :yum: nice but so do fc's plus u got surprise on your side,,parts r cheap and it is cheaper to upgrade and mod ,,it all comes down to what your budget is,,,for me a college student with a part time job fc is the way to be but if i was outa school with a full time job fd all the way both have +'s and -'s" my 2 cents https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/moon.gif

the FC and FD's look great..its just a matter of taste..



being a tall bastid...i dont fit in fd's https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

FCs are my preference.



They got the oldschool look. Like the Supra, Starion, MR2.

You can buy a beater FC as a second car and use it as a

reliable daily driver

yeah right, my **** keeps on breaking, oil metering lines crying oil like crazy, water pump is shot, damn sunroof needs A LOT OF HELP to open, speedometer not workng https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png , thus i dont get an odometer reading too.

jfwy

yes for me its very reliable, i drove my 88 se like it was stolen but it is still holding up on original seals, i just had an intake put in and that is it...

the car has at least 170k on it already, still runs like a charm
