Get the FB!!! It's the best car ever!! (Ok, maybe I'm biased a tad)

But seriously, I don't understand the dilemma? everyone needs the rotary power, some people just don't know it yet!

Check out the first gen forum for everything you ever wanted to know about SA/FB's!

haha yeah man its special. for a couple reasons.. it only has 75K on it.... and that appeals to me.. just so i can say " it only has 75K on it." ( yeah im aware that 75k doesnt = good motor)... i can trace the car back to 1986.. because odly enough i found out that it used to belong to my best friends dad.....



oh and lastly it's $600... with the stock port motor in it.. and a SP block ( supposadly has a stuck apex seal?!?!?) it runs but idles high due to someone "removing" ( ie causeing vacum leaks) the rats nest. oh and did i mention.... its $600..





thats the main reason im so focues on this particular car.. cause well.. im poor... a lot poor.. really poor..college sucks but in this case... i can make enough $ selling my turbo parts for my civic in order to buy the FB



so theres that explanation
