My name is Nick and I'm going to college studying mechanical engineering. I hope to pick a FC very soon to have something to do other than study. Come spring I hope to do some matter of v8 swap, while keeping it very clean.
I currently drive a near 300hp saturn (ion redline). So, I would like to keep the tradition of leaving people clueless going with a v8 RX.

 

I'm from Michigan, too. I've had an FD for about 10 years now. I can understand why you'd want to swap...the stock twin turbos on the FD are a bitch to work on! Not sure about the FC, but the FD is not fun!

 

I don't care what anyone says, a v8 FD is sick. And I'm not even a fan of v8s

 

Michigan folks - In Waterford with my GSL-SE that I've had since 1997!! Picture taken on 12/18/2012. I'd cry if someone went and put a V8 in this....

 

Nice totally agree. But us rotary guys enjoy the challenge

 

Multiple people have told me that they won't allow me to do an LS swap until I've owned a rotary powered RX for at least a month. Way of earning my stripes I guess.
In my perfect world all FD chasis (plural form?) would be powered by 20Bs running single turbos.

I feel it's fitting for an FC to have a v8 in it. I think of FD vs FC as body builder versus a gymnast scenario. The FCs wedge shape is bulkier and doesn't try to conceal anything, while the FD is sculpted but given proper treatment could destroy most things on the road.

 

nice old sgool
