im just curious, i dont mean trade as in even trade but rather would u prefer having an FD considering that their engines dont last as long and parts cost more for them? for the price of an FD i would stay with an FC TII what would u guys do?

 

f no. i mean not only for reliability, but the fc has a kind of diamond in the rough look, its like a caged beast, its just subtle enough to look humble, but invariably powerful. the fc looks too much like a car thats trying to be seen, the fc is one that if your lucky enough, you might just catch a glimpse.
dont get me wrong, id wouldnt mind having both, but id take my non turbo fc over any fd any day, theyre just too damn perfect

 

yea thats something i forgot to mention the FC is so perfectly designed i have to say there are no Flaws in the body design of an S5 the S4 looks wondeful too but i dont like the front bumper or the tails on the S4

 

you guys are clowns, take a ride in a fd, and you wont be thinking about a pos n/a fc.

 

yea fd hands down.
but i wouldnt get rid of my beast so no trade

 

haha yeah if you wouldnt take an FD you suck, i want them both and when i get to FL ill have my fd and ive got my fc so im golden.... mmMMmmMm FD BITCHES!

 

I'd have the best of both worlds, meaning I would have to own both.

Unless you've driven or at least taken a ride in an FD, you just don't understand how well they handle and what they are capable of.

 

yea and when u blow an apex seal around 60-70K ur gonna be sayin "this wouldnt have happened if i had an FC" i mean FD's are sexy *** cars but they just dont last nearly as long as they should for thier price

 

hate to say it...but id take the fd hands down!! BUT, i wouldnt trade mine for a fd! just a stock tII

 

FDs are too hard to work on. like space wise.

 

see the way i feel is u can buy a good runing TII for around 3K FD's are average 12-13K i can take that extra 10K put in work to the FC and humiliate an FD performance wise and still look good doing it. but lets not let this turn into an arguement becuz this is purely opinion.

 

I wouldn't mind a 1999 Black J-Spec FD!

 

*shrugs* I like my FC just because of its body style, and cheap insurance. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind a FD...
To me the FB and FC are more charismatic than the FD, although the FD looks smoother. The FB just looks like an old race car, and the FC is the epitome of an 80 compact sport car... the cars that I was growing up wanting.

 

I'd take an FD and throw in a 13B N/a engine. Hah!

 

what?

 

only if it had compairible mods and was in simular condition as my car or better.

 

i couldnt trade my fcs for an fd but i want an fd and fb. gotta collect them all. spirit r

 

I wouldn't trade my FC for an FD, but I wouldn't mind owning an FD...

 

I know I wouldn't. One, more insurance I'd have to pay, and it would cause way too much attention in my neighborhood.

 

isn't that the truth.

 

"spirit r "

THAT is my dream car... EXACTALLY.

 

id go buy an fc that didnt run then id trade it for an fd, i love my t2 wayyyyy too much to get rid of it.

 

I think it really depends on what you grew up seeing and/or wanting.

When I was in hs, FD/Supra/3000GT were the cars to have. Although FD's production stopped right before I started hs, it remained one of those cars to have.

Older folks might enjoy FC or FB more as that's what they saw growing up and wanting to have, but couldn't.

Just to make my point, I just recently bought a FD over 350Z. And no, cost wasn't a issue. 350Z's nice, but that would've been just a status symbol, contrast to an FD and its sentimental values to me from my adolesence.

So would I trade FD for RX8? Not in a million years. I'm sure same goes for a lot of FC owners as well.

 

Yeah, I think they're cool cars, but I wouldn't trade my FC for one.

The FC is roomier, a little less attention grabbing (a benefit the way I look at it), and can be competitive with FD's performance-wise with some mods.

I do envy their suspensions though :-)

 

i have as much money into my FC as it would take to buy an FD and then i would have to do maintenance and that would be a bone stock model. plus i prefer the styling of the FC over the FD anyways.

my answer: no

not unless it was a modded FD in which case i would sell it and build another FC to my liking.
