FD's are good at 3 things: going fast, taking turns, and looking good. Everything else sucks. Not to start a debate or anything, but while the FC is hardly a plush lexus it's definitely more livable than an FD.
i feel the same way.

while i wouldn't mind picking up an FD for a weekend car i certainly wouldn't want to DD one like i can in the FC.

the main reason i would want an FD is the resale value and they look better stock vs stock than the FC does. aside from that they are uncomfortable rattle boxes.

Lack of OP is disturbing/hilarious

Maybe he's ashamed, or he got grounded

you're right man, he probably droped the keys outside the car and locked himself inside the FD... I know I've locked myself inside the FC more than once

I heard it doesn't make peak power until 9k, so you should be shifting at about 9.5 to 10k

While everyone theorizes about why the OP hasn't reposted, I'm surprised the most likely explanation hasn't been raised...his "poorly cared for" FD simply won't run.

Occam's razor, ya'll.

not if it died in some ghetto at night while finding a good drift spot..

thugs probably took his virginity and stripped the car to try and make the parts fit on their civic EG hatches. they're probably still trying to figure out how to split the turbos so they can have one on each car.
