What's the difference?
Between dre and shady.
On the real this is my first rx7 never saw myself with one so I don't know as much as I probably should. But just wondering, whats the difference between the FB and FC. Not the obvious like 12avs13b or that its a different body style, more so performance. I've read that the FB was more of a true sports car yet so many people say the FC is the better car. Why? |
Dre?..Shady?
Hell no! I pimped my Fc out and it is more Snoop Dogg Oriented now!..lol! I thought that this thread would get interesting so it is UP. |
Isn't the 13b that was in the 84 gsl-se a little different than the ones they put in the fc?
|
I've Often wondered the same thing .. I personally always Liked hte FB body vs the FC's all I know is it has alot of slack on the steering hah
|
The biggest difference is that the FC is heavy compared to the FB's. Less weight just makes everything better. The GSL-SE combines an EFI 13B with the lighter FB chassis, so best of both worlds. Engine setups get better between S3, S4 and S5 cars, but that should be obvious. FB has a steering box and live axle rear end. FC has rack and pinion and a multi-link rear suspension. Other than that, they are designed pretty similar.

Like EA said, I think the steering is much better on the FC. I've driven my FC through Glenwood Canyon in Colorado in under 13 minutes and never felt like it was risky.

I agree with the steering some of the sketchiest wheel play I've ever felt. It is however, the best handling car I've owned by far. Better than any of my dumped Honda's or S13. I was told the fb had a rack and pinion though? At least mine anyway. The previous owner of mine put an Fc rear suspension on it. What makes the Fc rear better?

That sucks about that icp sticker though lol.

https://www.rx7club.com/attachments/...b-steering-jpg A rack and pinion conversion has a really thick center tube with boots on the ends. The center tube is mounted to the frame of the car. Below is the ReSpeed aftermarket rack. http://www.re-speed.com/images/stori...oduct/cr1a.jpg

I think hes an amazing mechanic because I have IRS and rear disc. He had the car for like 10 years and had a pretty killer shop.Im pretty sure I have recircilated ball front though that's what mine looks like. Is that respeed conversion a good one to get? I really want to get rid of the ghost wheel feel.
