ok heres the thing.. im still on the edge to buying an FC,which is completely stock with rebuilt motor.. where i already test drove a red '90 FC N/A from a small dealership.. loved it

after a few weeks, i found a private seller selling her black '87 FC turbo+red interior.. this person also has some modifications to the car itself..

some of the things it has
-Factory LSD
-14 PSI
-Aftermarket 16" rims
-240,000KM on the chassis
-50000 on reman mazda motor, rebuilt turbo and ported wastegate
-Greddy Dual Timer
-RB downpipe
-Straight 2.5" exhaust with magnaflow muffler.
-Relocated Trunk Battery
-MSD ignition
-FMIC
-TurboXS BOV
-FCD
-Autometer Fuel and Air Fuel gauge.
-MBC
-CD Stereo

all this, and also cheaper than the red '90 FC N/A by a few hundred bucks..

i was wondering and want some opinions from everyone so i have a clear mind of which one i should actually aim for..

PS: the only major downside for that black '87 is that the car is located locally, but the person lives quite far.. may need to come all the way down here to drop the keys for a test run..

 

Is there anything wrong with the TII? Has it been beaten on? The N/A seems reliable, where as the TII seems fun. Either way, turbo or N/A... you'll enjoy it.

 

if you are looking for a DD, then the N/a will be probably more reliable. TII is faster but they tend to have more problems then N/A. your choice.

 

87 compare to a 90, so 3 years difference, well is it a beater car on the TII?, if the seller maintain the car in good shape and up to date maintenance then that should be fine for the TII. N/A 90, well carfax the car.

 

Buy both cars.

 

WIN

 

10 points for that amazing response!

 

umm since its at 14psi allegedly, I would make sure the injectors are upgraded, and then go thru aaroncakes checklist for buying a TII.
