Hey,



well, after 6 months of work on my FC S5, its finaly done and produces some nice power. The porting "ArmyOfOne" did to the engine and the intake is awesome.

The engine is really TOP, the car has also TEIN RA Coilovers, Power FC standalone, and some other mods. The car cost me with a broken engine around 1900$, the parts cost me around 5000$ with work on the engine and stuff.



I had always a problem with cars, selling them and buying new ones... Since i was going to buy a RHD from japan one day, i was thinking of getting a FD.

Many people told me stay away from FDs because of the high priced parts and stuff, and i know that too.. but isnt a FD a better base for more power? OF COURSE, you can push a FC hard, and get some nice power.. but i think a FD wich the same power as the FC, lets say 400whp would be more reliable, am i right or wrong?



I want the car for circuit racing (for fun, not professional) and highway highspeed, and thats where the FD should be better than a FC for example because of the longer 5th gear.



what do you guys think? should i try selling my FC and get a FD instead? Just say what you think https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif



PS. I will also start a thread in the 3rd. gen forum, to hear some advise from people owning a fd, because i think here will be replying people which want to say, i would be better staying with the fc haha https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif but anyway, please reply.
