Never Ever Again.

will i buy an S13 240sx.

I miss the way the FC handled.
The way it pulled.
The way it sounded.
The Fact it was an RX7.
There isnt any "hype" surrounded by it.
The way people thought i was stupid for buying an "Unreliable" car.

The fact, I dont know pistons for ****. (excuse my Russian.)

if by whatever means i end up keeping this nissan. Slap me.

but i WILL get another FC.


cookies and milk. i will be back.

lol. Wait till you grow up and get a job, it will alllllll change. I used to say that back when I was a rotard and just didn't have a clue. XD

I have been in a lot of set up s13s and they would walk my stockish FC all day in pretty much every event. A stock s13 though, is for lack of better words, floppy. It all depends on the setup.

Get back in an FC.

I grew up and got a job once as well. It is a cycle. After I got over the new car thing I realized that I didn't drive FC's because that was all I could afford at the time. I drove them because I loved them. I still do and would much rather be in my FC than anything else.

I regreted selling my FC after a couple years. Took me 1 solid year of searching every day to find my 91 Turbo. The s5 TII's are super rare!

i'd say that everything about a S13 is easier and usually cheaper but having owned a nice 91 S13 hatch i would never trade or sell my FC for one. The sound of the rotary motor and the smell of burning two stroke is intoxicating. Not to mention it's peaky power band and the near 50/50 weight distribution from the factory which doesn't hurt it's awesome handling one bit

i hate the s13 for the worng reasons too.
for one, in the fc, i never wanted to mash the gas and bounce the redline for drifting....in the s13, im all for pinging the tach. haha. i think ive developed a very bad habit.

First car? The one I was talking about was probably my 10th car and 5 rotary. I am talking about the idea that I was moving onto something "better". The better car was better in ways that didn't matter to me. Being cool, flash and baller didn't matter to me when driving. Building my $4000 FC was much more important to me than bran new 350z I dropped $40k on. Sure the 350z was ***** magnet (I can't remember how many times I had 2 girls in the passanger seat) but the FC was more rewarding to drive.

haha i loved driving the 350z. it was quite the sex appeal machine. the drive doesn't nearly compare to the fc in my opinion.
