Red FC GTU!!!!

When i was walking to my work from my car i saw this red fc gxl. I didn't like rx7s for that long and i didn't like the fc that much. But when i saw this Red 88 FC on the side of my street. I said that is my dream car. Well i just recked my car and guess what i am looking for. FC alll they way. By the way every time i start my MK3 supra i worry about the head gasket blowing. So i guess supras are not the most reliable car neither.

I wanted the FD at first, then I figured theres not a chance in hell that I would get one, considering that (at the time) I was unemployed and 16 and insurance would just kill me. I figured "Oh well a 7's a 7". Then I really started looking at FC's. And I kinda noticed this weird feeling inside. I read more and more about them, looked at more pictures and fell in love. Now every morning I have to go out and look at my car, its just that beautiful. Here's my analogy:

You meet a hot, sexy, supermodel-from-milan chick(FD) at a party and fall madly in lust with her. You talk for a lil bit and she introduces her cute friend(FC). At first u think nothing of her because the hot supermodel's TWINS and curves are taking over ur attention. You start talking to the cute chick to get to the supermodel, but u notice a special glow within said cute girl. Now your madly in love with her and have almost forgotten about the supermodel(u still take a few peeks every now and then).

Sorry so long, but it must be said!

I don't like FD's better than FC's...FC's are forsure better constructed cars... I actually did some work on an FD the other day and the owner had just dyno'd 285rwhp, so it moved pretty decent and I didn't see that much difference in driving characteristics.. Now granted, they look a little cooler (FD's) in regardings to looking a bit more modern, but a few body goodies on a TII and I think they look waaaaaaay meaner.. I think a FD motor in a S5 is the best of both worlds....minus the Twins.

BTW: FC's appearance have always been acused as being a 944 copy or a Poooorsh, if you will but FD's have Ford Taurus tailights and look like a Probe GT from 1000ft away....

Dude, awesome analogy!!

That got to me to thinking about the two girl's personalities:

The supermodel chick is totally psychotic...where she loves you one moment...then is trying to jab a pencil into your eye.

The cute chick loves you almost unconditionally, no major mood swings.

The supermodel chick is a cokewhore, you need to constantly dump your hard earned cash into her to keep her going.

The cute chick is a cheap date, but occassionally likes to be pampered with some nice things.

Lastly, the supermodel chick doesn't put out...just once in a blue moon when everything "works right".

But the cute chick is always ready to go...

*chuckle*

"Best....Analogy.............ever"


The FC has a certain look that i love. Granted id love to have an FD, but id never sell my FC to get one. Get your FC repainted, put on some 18's, big twin exhaust, FMIC and you could be cruising around with lots of custom hondas/acuras nearby, but everyone will be checking YOUR car out. Trust me, its worth having one just for the uniqueness quotient that no honda owner can ever claim.

Of course, you can get lots of attention from cruising in your FD, espcially when you are getting towed on the side of the road because it overheated in 18 degree weather in december. You would be ok though, your silver suit would save you....

I'd never own an FD, unless it had an LT1/LS1 in it.

Damn Kevin, tell it like it is ! Na aluminum block large cubic inch power!!

*edit* your supermodel / normal chick analogy is right on. Everyone knows you will be happier with a so-so looking mate who will take care of you than a beautiful attention ***** who demands constant upkeep.

The FC is just.......cooler. LOL. If someone gave me 50k I'd fix up my FC and make it the meanest ******* car..... I mean **** it'd actually be hard to spend 50k on an FC and not have the sweetest car in the world. Considering you only had to spend 3-5 to buy it(S5TII).
I buy a 20B, T-66, thick *** shiny Brilliant Black paint. Paint the BBS' chromium black(not gunmetal). Lower it. Sticky Wan Li tires(Wan Li baby!) Dual Apexi N1's. KAAZ lsd, Big Spearco front-mount, Blitz SS.......ahhhhhh sorry I am splooging(spelling?). BTW I love that anology. I like the cute girls, y'know the Katie Holmes, Mandy Moore type...ahh forget it!
