can a 12a fit in an FC?

 

would that work like could it be done without it being a pain in the ***
ive never really thought about it till now and i have an extra 12a set up i wanna put to good use so could this work?

 

it'd work. why would you want to?

 

it will deffinatly fit but i dont think its a direct bolt in. do some searching

 

might have found a really good deal
which sucks though

i owe a little money on my fb to a friend and i have my SA at school getting painted but i found a guy that said he'd sell me a clean body no tranny or engine 91 FC
i love it except i don't like that its convertible

the reason i wanted to know is well my SA is almost well not even repairable
the person whomever did the body work maybe not sam but could of been the guy before him or some body shop just slapped filler and thought that was fixing the problem

even slapped filler over rust
because filler was in places that didn't even have any dents but just had rust under it

sorta sucks cause now we have to sand every bit of filler down and get all of the rust gone
and well i wanna just take my built 12a and still have it driveable and put the stock 12a in the sa until its done
because its gonna take a while

 

Wow, an S5 vert with an n/a 12a would probably be the slowest car on earth...
My suggestion, sell the 12A then save up a few more dollars on top of that and buy a 13B.

And 12A = 100 hp and uses front mounts for the engine

13B = 160 HP and uses side mounts for the engine

Gee which one is going to work...

 

you know you dont have to get it right? if your not into it being a convertible... Or get it and put a more suitable engine for it.

 

fc convertibles are heavy and slower than the coupe.with 12a will be like a turtle...

 

my friends down i PR owns a S4 gxl with a fully bridgeported 12A T2 TRANNY AND ALL THE GOODIES and stock FCs are faster.

 

the 12A has different engine mounts and they are all falling apart these days. mazda doesn't even sell new rotor housings for them anymore.

 

i didn't know because the 12a is a pretty nice bp but i was just wondering if it was worth the hassle

idk im in such a mess with the SA bodywork wise
it can be done but damn im a jr in highschool work from 12-3 on the SA and then 3-6 at a body shop don't have too much spare cash to keep it all original bumpers and all because thats reallllllyyy expensive and well i have to have the body work by a deadline but my parents were gonna get my graduation present (the cheap FC) and lemme use it till i finish the SA

 

if you are highschool you need to stop right now before you get in over your head for a motor that will make your car slower
