I have an urge to buy an FC

This probably won't help.

Bah there's a FD for sale locally that's I use to remind myself of why I'm in school. Its soooooooooooo clean and well modded that I can't help but drool.

Another one that won't help:

My FC convertible from last summer. Paid $800 for it and sold it for alot more. Bought it from the original owner (bill of sale and title from '88). He said the transmission was bad and the shop wanted $1,500 to fix it. I fixed it for $60 worth of shifter bushings.

I DD'd a non-turbo one for a couple years and although it had it's fun aspects, the combination of hardly any power and crap gas mileage (22 combined when driving conservatively) kinda started rubbing me the wrong way after a while. With the exceptions of being FWD and perhaps styling, the contemporaneous GD body cars (88-92 626 and MX6) are much better vehicles in every respect. I will get my rotary fix from my FD, thank you.

I'm sort of trying to sell my FC Turbo (picture in my profile). So far the one guy who seemed really interested in it decided to buy a series 5 TII instead. I could start another Craigslist rant here, but I won't. I am, however, completely tired of kids offering me 50% of my asking price out of the gate.

Phew! That was close, for a minute there i thought you were within a couple hours of me.

I want an FC Turbo in a very bad way.

I am a couple of hours away... by airplane! I've driven the car 70 miles recently, and if it can go 70 miles, it can go further

My lust for an SA/FB is becoming overpowering... I have a line on a 1980 LS that is driving me crazy.

Is it Solar Gold,and in Ohio? If so you have good taste. If I didn't already have my 78 SA, I would buy that car.

you have my attention

Interest in a '95 Nissan Ext-cab Pickup?

DO IT!

Tready cautiously over at RX7club.com. Use your search-fu, else you be flamed.

I'm on probobly a weekly craigs list Rx7 hunt, but I also have no spot to put one, and the money I have should probobly go towards food and gas and rent... i stll can't stop searching. Speaking of which, it's about that time of week...

I'd definitely go for an FB over an FC, especially if the FC isn't a turdbo.

In reply to Rufledt:

If you get the urge this spring/summer you are welcome to come south to cranberry country,and take mine for a spin. It isn't fast,but it looks cool,and runs great.

holy crap that is the best offer I've ever had! You can take my R3 for a spin, too! It's also not very fast, but it handles great, and 9000 rpm is awesome!

Someday i'll have some extra money to buy, and a place to park/work on an RX7 or older rotary... someday... I can't even check the oil in (or open the hood, or use a jack unless to change a flat tire) my 8 or my van according to my appartment lease without the parking nazi's towing my car, and they certainly would.

I have been wanting an R3 for quite some time anyway,so that would be fun to actually drive one. I owned an 04 base model 6-speed RX-8 for one year,and I loved it. I can only imagine the R3 is even better. When the salt is gone,come on down.

I want a SA so bad it hurts! those are pure secs

^^Truth

my ultimate goal would be a renesis swap.

If you decide to part it. Let me know pm me. Ive got a bunch of random part that i need for my backyard fc....:)

Do it. But be forewarned. It's a love-hate relationship once the honey period is over.
