I'm very fond of RotaryResurrection's turbo vert as a summer car

for an NA, its a tuffy. an 88 GTU is a pretty bad *** NA... the OG GTUs. however, my 90 GTUs is about as good as it gets for an NA i think... even more rare than an 89 GTUs.

i would go for an Infini V or something... the one that was in Gran Turismo 2

an S4 converted to S5 exterior. Those damn auto belts suck. And I would go with a Black TII like GT3.

Many people are going to say the GTUs, or the S5 TII....But my favourite is the lowly '86 base. It's the lightest of all, very pure, and perfect for a TII swap or other turbo setup. And if you really want those power windows (or other options), you can add them. Also, they're quite cheap...

I'd get a TII that had a custom hardtop vert. not the full vert like cloth tops do, but just the removable panel in the middle. And plenty of engine work of course

Ha! If I'm not mistaken ALL RX-7's from Canada have manual belts (at least all of the ones I've ever seen, including my '91). I hate those auto belts too. But if you really hated the belts, and wanted the new look, it'd probably be cheaper to just change the belts to the S4 configuration than to change the body.

You are correct, no Canadian FC's had the auto belts. My S5 TII does not have them nor did my old S5 NA, no FC I have ever seen has had them in Canada.

My most desirable FC would have to be one of the Infini models, or my very own S5 TII, I love my car to death!

There is only one best FC. And every FC owner has one.

I think only the US version S5 has auto seat belts. Mine is an 89 TII and has manual seat belts.

That 20b 'vert is nice, but I don't like the front end on it at all.
