Ok, you have ohhh..lets say $10,000-$15,000 or so that you fell into to spend on your car, would you buy a FD, or would you build one sick *** FC?? Personally I would build me a nice FC.

For a 20b, thats cutting it kind of close, unless you planned on throwing one in without going through it.

I don't know if 15K would build a good 20B FC, but if I had 15K I would finish building my sick *** FC AND I'd buy an FD



I only need about 5K to finish my project, and 10K would buy me an FD w/ issues for a new project

One modified RX is plenty for me. Half the fun is building it, so I would do a FC, turbo convertible I think, just to try to be a bit different, keep it under the stock hood, RacingBeat exaust, try to keep it quiet, would even have a quiet blow-off valve, I want something thats a 'sleeper'. Yeah I know a convertible is heavier, but at least its somewhat different. Then when I got bored with it, go with a bigger turbo, then some nitrous, then a taller gear ratio rear end, you get the idea, then probably paint the convertible a nice silver when I got bored with that, only because I have only seen one, and because I can paint my car whenever I want, lol

Yeah, go with an FC...but I'll still kick your ***. :P When you decide to come to the dark side just look in the mirror and say "13BAce" 3 times.
