i would hardly consider getting an fc moving up, unless you have an automatic base model fb and your getting a series 5 turbo 2 lol

i had an 87 base and i was dying to get back into an fb, thats why i got rid of my fc for a gsl-se

yeah, it was an automatic GSL and i'm getting an S4 GTU
with modified suspension and rims
if the FB had been manual, i would've kept it, and i didn't want to do the trans swap

automatic 12a...

and to those who wished luck, thanks
and to those who said i'd be back, in a few years i plan on it

have fun and be safe

Your the first person I've heard of that had only one problem with the electrical system. But on the down side you were smokin' quite bad at ABF.

BTW, did you fix that yet?
