Alex's '87 FC N/A

Hey dudes, I'm sorta new to these forums and stuff but decided i'd post a thread about my car. It's an 87' N/A base model FC. Got it the first day of school lol. I go to school for automotive and my teacher dosn't like rotary's to much so I come on here to try to learn everything I can about them.

Here it is when I first got it, looks a bit different now. I'll be able to upload some more pictures later on but here -

Man I wish I had found one like that!
So clean dude, I'm really jealous haha
And hey, Mr. Brito doesn't hate rotaries, he's just so concentrated on entertaining the students that instead of teaching the few students who like rotaries about them, he just makes jokes.

my car looked exactly like that when i bought it... except for the rotted of exhaust and stock suspension.... and the whole looking super clean part.... my car was a whooped pile of ****... still is.

word up on the 5lug swap... makes finding good offset wheels a whole lot easier.

There's no difference. The coilovers make the car so stiff the sway bar dosn't matter haha.

Yeah, but I'll be taking it out pretty soon.

My exhaust has a huge hole in it, so I gotta take that off and get it welded to fix the leak.

So when I do that, I'll probably take out the rear sway bar.

Pretty sweet! I haven't done any of my usual replicas on for a 4 yet. With work I haven't really gotten used to the paint controls yet.

Wow. Nerded out for a sec.

nice work on your fc and jtp's car. that looked like it took a long time. the red letters in front of the car reminds me of the old WWE RAW game where theres sometimes a table at the bottom corner outside of the ring that will still break if your hand or foot hits it.
