Let's generally discuss FCs
As the topic says, please discuss. Generally.

Julius Caesar, George Patton and Napoleon Bonaparte all walk into a bar...
General enough for you? |
FCs are cool
|
That might be a bit too specific, try "Rotaries are cool" or even better, "Cars are cool".
We should try not to be exclusionary. |
FC's are cool? Convertibles are even better with turbos!
|
I can certainly imagine that convertibles are better with turbos than without.
|
what about a convertible 6 speed twin sequential turbo.
i have the 6 speed vert. i have the seq twins on my 10th ae. but swapping the setup over would be.. daunting. |
Generally if you own an FC long enough you take it apart alot, it tends to sit for a long time
Sometimes you forget you own the car Generally speaking that is |

Wondering, does anyone have encountered problems with water behind seats with factory tops in convertible?

Thanks man, didn't think about that, if by any chance you know the part number, let me know I need it!

I believe it is FC01-H20. Hopefully it doesn't come up NLA.

I do not have a vert but given your description, the likely troublespot would be the b-pillar area, where the door, rear quarterpanel and roof meet. I'd strip out the interior, get inside and have your assistant spray the car with a hose. Despite my "likely" guess, resist the temptation to focus too closely on where the water comes out. The trick is finding where it comes in. In my case, the well behind the seats was filling with puddles but the actual ingress point was the top front edge of the door. Water flowed down the front of the door to the rocker, followed the doorseal/rocker trim plate past the seat and finally emerged at the back of the door. Once I'd formulated a theory, I tested by cramming closed cell foam into different parts of the door>fender joint and hosing down until I found exactly where the problem was. Turned out to be a rubber flap-type thing that appeared fine but was not pliant/springy enough to seal...of course, it is totally invisible when the door is closed and the fault wasn't obvious. tl:dr is: Strip interior and spray Just because a seal looks good, don't assume it works |
i don't get why people like verts, they leak water, they are noisy, they don't look exceptionally well with the top up, they're heavy, they don't handle exceptionally well, they're more of a pain in the ass than a coupe in parts, the top lasts only a few years in the elements and if you roll one you can kiss your ass goodbye.
but i guess nothing beats having your hair flap in your face while some chick is looking at your 80's rockstar hair and wondering who your stylist is. |

Hater. |
i'd get blinded by a hair stabbing my eye, flip the car and land on a litter of kittens, killing all of us.

Generally; I think the GTUs is the best(USDM) chassis and a TII drive-train swap does it justice(similar to an Infini). I've owned every model except for a "sport", the vert ranks the lowest on my list and T-II's are too soft.
