Newb Here!!!
Hey all,
Well this is my first post, but I've been reading on this forum for about a few months and I just wanted to thank all of you for all the information you gave me and I can't wait till I get my T2 when I turn 16. I will be saving up for my FD when I'm older. Is the FC a good car for my first car? I've been reading a lot about rotary engines and I hope to learn more. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

FCs are great first cars as long as you don't get a turbo. NA's are by far the easiest, cheapest, and most reliable of all RX-7s. Turbos are fast but you pay for that with higher maintenance costs.
Look for an 89-91 GTUs. That will give you the most bang for the buck.

you can't learn to drift untill you have the car...
I know so many techniques and tricks and all sorts of crap about drifting, but you put me in a car and I would crash that thing sooo fast. No i'm just joking. Good strategy, you sound just like me. I'm looking for an RX-7 once I turn 16 too. And I want to drift it. I love touge racing, it so exciting. Anyway, good to see drifters no matter what kind of car they drive right? Oh by the way, I heard that to drift an FC the TII works better because the extra power allows you to spin the wheels easier. This is just what someone told me though, they could be full of it. I do know however that in Japan, the TII is a more popular drifting car than the N/A FC. Personally, I want to go with the TII. Good Luck and godspeed man. Get a good FC, and treat it well. I hate seeing good cars... go bad...

If you're an Initial D fan, why not just go straight out and get an AE86? Anyways, I like drifting on the FD quite well but I've never driven an FC, so I don't really have much comparison.

some people are unbelievable.
you don't have a car and you're planning on drift racing with your first car? I mean I saw Initial D too, and I read options and watch the videos. Those guys in the videos are not 16 year olds. The guys at Signal Auto are pretty old. My point is: learn to drive before you learn to drift.
You're only 16 and you've got your whole life, and many cars, ahead of you.

i agree, i know rx-7s are exciting, but make sure and get a feel for the car and become an experienced driver before you go and try to drift your car and then crash it and add to the long list of rx7's we dont have anymore.

You want practice drifting? Move to where it snows, get a beater rwd car, and find a big empty parking lot. You can drift all you want at low speeds. Just make sure that you know what's under the snow
