turbo II (FC) = lower insurance, it comes single turbo, and that cool "80's retro styling", they seem easy to work on for me, i like the blistered fenders that the 2nd gen cars have, japanese muscle car
3rd gen (FD) = body of a supermodel, looks like its doing 140mph sitting still, lots of vacuum lines, sequntial(sp) twin turbos seem very complex. some simple mods and they are OSOFAST!

if its your only car, a FC might be better suited, or keep the 3rd gen stock.
If you have to put all your money toward paying off a FD and the high insurance that goes with it I wouldnt get one if I were you. Call your insurance company first and ask them, they may make your mind up for you if you get slapped with a high premium.

Depends on yourself, I myself would take either. I love my FC because im the only person i know with a 91 TII. And when i blow by people they have no idea what just flew by (goes with about any rx7 though). But I find the fc real easy to work on, like was said before, its already single turbo. With a couple mods, FC TII's can be VERY fast too. But to tell you the truth, at first i didnt like the fc, even when i had my fb. I was planning on buying a 3rd gen, and i started my search for one. Found a couple that I looked at ... they all wanted too much. Then i went to my friends shop around here and he was working on a 3rd gen, i hung around for a bit checking it all out and what-not. Found out i really didnt like the crapped *** twin-turbo setup they had. They are a bitch to work on and they have a tendency to explode. Then i started my search for my FC .. looked for about 4 months before i found the EXACT car i was looking for. I payed 6k for it ... and with about 2k (or less) in mods, i've beaten many FD. But dont get me wrong, i love the FD's ... LOOOOVE the FDs 
Nothing cooler than seeing an FD blow by you on a curve mountain road racing at 120+ mph. Beautiful!!
(can you tell thats happend to me before? :-p )
