FD if you've got the money. Otherwise FC all the way.

Fc due to i like the older looks and the chassis are way cheaper and easier to come by and leaves money for mods

Not considering money or cost, you look at an FC and its a nice car but looking at an FD makes your knees weak, timeless design, balance, power , it just can't lose!

If you can afford it an FD is pretty sweet. Keep in mind that parts are more expensive for the FD. If you plan on doing a swap FC is cheaper and easier to do AFAIK.

If you're asking that, it'd be better to go with an FC.

FD's are more expensive, but each will leave you happy in the end.

My opinion? Obviously an opinion..

Get an FC Vert. Do TII swap. Call it a day.

But that's something I've always wanted to do. So of course that's my opinion.

If you're new to rotary engines I'd go FC all the way. In the off chance you colossally break something, it's way cheaper to fix/replace. Not to mention it would probably feel terrible to break anything on an FD. Other than that or financial reasons like many have stated, go FD!!!

FD for looks, FC for reliability. Not a big fan of the FC dash

well both are great cars, its what you look for in a car if it a cars wight then go with the fd, fcs have a little more to them, or power wise the 13b-rew is a great motor twin turbo right out of the gates, but the 13bt-S5 is a good motor too with a single turbo is basicly comes down to the condition of the car an the body lines fd has that bubble look an fc has the straight body line but its all up to u man

I FC has more of a raw feel to it that I like. My brother has an FD which is a great looking car, but the electrical is quite finicky.
