Back.... Need help deciding how to get back into the 7 game....

After selling my last 85 RX7 because I had no room for it, I am ready to get another 7. I am real ready to get one, but need some helping deciding.
Here is my scenario
I am still in school. Will be graduating and heading to college in June. I am pretty broke right now lol. I could save a little, and buy a FB, either 12a or 13b manual. Or could buy a FC NT for around the same price. But, I could wait until june, use some of my money to buy a nice turbo FC. I love the turbo FC lol. But the FB is nice too. My buddy, on this site actualy, has a FC turbo. After taking another ride in it yesterday, I was just amazed how well it ran. I am ready to get one.
I want a turbo 7, but I know swapping them into 12a cars is kinda tough, and swapping one into a 13b car is just pretty strait forward I have heard.
So, should I just wait a little while and get the turbo FC, or just get some $ asap and buy a older NT?
Thanks fellas.

I know how it is being torn due to money. I am lucky to own an FB while i am in college, but it definitely spreads me thin. I'd wait and buy the one you want. I wouldn't suggest owning an FB in college. I have to budget maintenance with my financial aid which is about 1000 a term extra....but then again i do spend it on some extra stuff.

Just wait till you graduate and buy a turbo FC...I wish I could do the same but I'll enjoy my daily driver FB

Not sure I agree that a FC is a better choice, just get a better FB if you wish, but if you want an TII aim for it and get one when you have the funds.
