Finally got an FC

Was on a big hunt for a new car after my SC, and finally came across a good FC. It's a 1991 GTU, Paint is 9/10 and it has 75k original miles, and 7/10 black interior (Missing some pieces and some things dont work) Bought it for $2500 since the AC didnt work and it has problems with an aftermarket radio.

Pic of my SC :

And now for the FC :

And the present i found under the shift boot, looks to be in good condition, lol. (Please excuse the ricer pedals, they came with the car.)

Get the ac working, fix up the interior and make it my daily. Good friend has a single turbo 94 FD and got me hooked on rotaries. Gonna go single exhaust probably, last owner put a cheap one on and had it done at a cheap shop. It sounds alright but is really loud and rattles.

Honestly, i like the spoiler, but i usually prefer cars without them. Something about a slammed spoiler-less rx7 makes me excited, lol. But then again i dont like spoilers on most cars, i prefer the stock lines untouched. But if i ever choose to get the paint cleaned up its bye bye with the spoiler.

Not a turbo swap, came with t2 mirror and wing, it was repainted at some point, tiny bit of rust bubbling on the sunroof, some peeling clearcoat under the hatch.

The drivers side mirror is messed up and off track or something, it moves while driving lol, and power windows doesnt even work right now, gotta fix that lol.

I may go with a t2 swap if i find a nice priced rebuilt one with everything down to the diff and axels. That's a big project though lol
