Cars are much different over here there is parts at your disposal and there is a store called upgarage which is pretty much a performance parts pawn shop. i guess its all about who you know to i was at the auto hobby shop one day and this guy that owns a FD came up to me and was like i used to have a FC. I ended up getting two doors two fenders a front mount two gauge clusters spare headlight assembly turbo 2 aluminum hood efini seat and full 3" turbo back for 500 bucks and random guys will just come up and offer parts as well i wish i could stay but im only here till 2012

I'm on honshu, north of TOkyo, and never had anything similar happen. Guess I just don't spend enough time at upgarage, or I need a better car to bring there.

Welcome Oki. Hey guys I am a newbie as well and have a 88 10th Anniversary. I see all these references to a FC or a FD. What the heck does it mean? By the way my tag says an FC on my car.

Right now Im converting my Cosmo to 5 speed and installing haltech at Hansen Typhoon motors. if you ever free on the weekends Im there most of the time working on the cars.
