ok that makes sense.
FD's are great but I wouldn't want to own one if I didn't have the funds to keep it running. I like the FC's because it is what I can afford atm and looks great to me. If money wasn't a problem I would defiantly have an FD.

My Brother just bought a 1st gen for $500 and it is in immaculate condition chuck. It is red with a few blemishes, like in two spots with a little paint fade. Other than that it is great condition. It is a 85 GSL. Any advice about 1st gens that I can pass on to him?

Time for porting and or turbo charging.
He must keep the two drain holes at the back corners of the rear hatch clear. If not, they will rust out.

U have to talk to my bro about that one Chuck lol. I think he just wants to DD for now I don't know what he plans to do with it yet. He is not the fast car type and I was really surprised when he decided to get a 1st gen or RX-7 at all. He wanted a FD but he doesn't have FD money so this will do for now.

Parts of it did return to me for fixing as they were sold as parts to another FB owner in the club. This was about 3 years ago. Pic below.
