I'm 21, I killed one FD a year or so ago but I restored another one to make up for it, guess I'm even with the rotary Gods. To all you young guys don't do anything stupid with these cars they ride on a knife edge of control, very unforgiving car. But I still love mine just the same I just respect it more. And there is nothing wrong with moding these cars to a point, infact there are alot of mods that greatly extend the life and reliability of the car. But that doesn't mean "rice" it up

I am 21 I have had My 93 Black Black FD R1 for about a half a year, and as I expected things have gone wrong, I am also in college and it is hard to support the car but I keep plugging away at it and I never comprimise, HKS intakes polished, Greddy Downpipe, and a couple other little mods. When something goes wrong I just use my second car which is a 93 dodge die-nasty oops I mean a dynasty, my biggest suggestion is to get a second car..

Im 23 and bought my fd about 8 months ago. i love it except insurance is alot of money in NYC so i drive my beater acura integra 91. I get pissed when someone pulls up next 2 me in like a mustang or some riced out **** and wants 2 race cause my acura got exaust and i guess they think im down to race. But the acura isnt really that fast. Cant wait till i put my rx-7 on the road this summer. Then we will see whats up. And i will still have the ac to beat on.
