hey everyone, first off i wanna start saying sorry if this is in the wrong section...but none the less, i am recently in the middle of selling my car(1995 eagle talon tsi awd) and i have decided that the rx-7 WILL be my next car.

now..here comes the question. which one?? i love both the fc and the fd. but i truly dont know which one i want, so i was wondering if i can get any input as to which one may be better, you know like advantages and dis-advantages of both.

thnx guys

i hope you brought a flame-proof suit

read the FAQ in this forum.

let the BBQ begin

 

Please read the stickied links at the top of the page first.

 

flip a coin

 

LOL!!!! WELCOME you have just open up a can of &*^%$#
i would say FD some would say FC. good luck

 

come on. the fd is a no brainer.

 

u did after all post in the FD forum. post in the FC forum and they'll all say FC

 

How old are you?
How much money do you make?
Are you still in school?
What kind of $ responsibilities do you have?
How much money are you looking to spend?

Oh yeah "READ THE FAQ'S!"

 

it all depends on aesthetic preference and the balance in your bank account

 

think twice

 

hahaha flame proof suit. that was gold!

 

+1 to all those questions. If you have money to burn and won't use it as a daily driver, get the FD. If you are on a budget, ANY kind of budget and want to use the car as a DD, then get the FC.

 

FD is a better performance car stock but it will cost you probably twice as much.

 

okay if you like having a Crack habit purchase an FD. If you enjoy throwing money down a bottomless pit-Buy an FD- if you enjoy Getting mad looks of envy from the general public of a car 14 years old-Buy an FD. Hell BUY AN FD. You have to pay to play with an FD. good luck

 

make sure ur wallet can handle the bills ( search around to see what FD stand for )

 

i gotta admit all these guys are right, owning an fd is hard on the pocket book, but what else do you have to do with your money lol. no matter how much i've spent so far i still enjoy every bit of owning an fd.

 

I'd have to agree that the FD is certainly a financial challenge. Unless you are in a comfortable position, money wise, I'd steer clear of the FD. It's an absolute blast! and worth every penny, but if you've only got a couple penny's to play with you will be left burned. Badly burned. Ebay items will make you start threads titled "So I blew my engine and don't know why..." You really do need to pay to play.

That being said, I agree with what the other guys said about reading the stickies and the FAQ. As an idea of what I mean... I spent well over 150 hours during the course of 3-5 months (much of that time as a guest on here, before I even made an account here) doing nothing but reading current and past threads, researching the 7. When I bought my car I knew more about how it was supposed to run and work than the seller did.

Bottom Line: Study up before you think about dropping cash on this car.


Pipe down newb.. You're just barely past your "first 72 hours" welcoming period. Don't think you can start laughing at the other new guys yet.

 

hey, thank you all for ur input..seriously..also, im sorry for not reading the faq's and stickys..i guess i got a lil excited about buying an rx7

but yea, im 18 and i have a job w/ my father(family business) so i should be good as to "dumping" money into the 7.

also i already have a beater, so i should be good with that as well.

but, i wanna apologize for being a nub and not reading up on stuff, so mods u can lock this thread if you want...
thanks for ur input guys(oh and i decided that i am definitely getting an fd )

 

FDlife--- dude no harm no foul. LOL seriously consider tracking down someone around your area who has a 3gen and make friends with the person.(one who knows his FD's) more you get exposed to the car FD or FC should help alot in deciding which one.

 

Seems you don´t have any special wishes, so take this into your account, too.
Should meet your requirements, too.
1. nice import from japan
2. beautiful unique design
3. makes your panties wet, if you want to
4. everything runs fast!


Good cathartic-tea.


Sorry for this

But I made my choice. Because the engine is something special, (FC and FD) and for me the FD has the most beatiful car design ever!

The RX-7 is a special car (FC and FD). if you don´t even know which one of those... I don´t think any RX-7 is the right car for you. Thats my opinion.

kind regards
Marc

 

wo deep... i couldnt agree w/ u more! i think the fd is one of the most beautiful cars around! seriously... i just love it......

 

The FD is a great looking car, if your willing to work on your own car when things break down this is a good choice. Just keep in mind your buying a 16 year old twin turbo high performance sports car, people say that their 92 dodge stratus doesnt give them any problems compared to their FD, but does a dodge stratus have a twin turbo, a complicated electrical system, or a rats nest of vaccum hoses? NO. If it did, it would have just as many problems! lol

 

after owning a dsm and an fd... The fd is cake lol.. I love my fd though they are expensive .. but its no more than owning a 450-600awhp dsm.

 

Dsm????

 

Diamond-Star Motors (DSM). It's the big production facility for Mitsubishi/Chrysler. The same one that spit out Eclipse's, Talon's, Laser's etc in the 90's... The car's which have the same body model despite being different car's/brands (like the ones listed) are commonly refered to as DSM's because they came from the same factory and were practically the same vehicle, albiet wearing different badges.
