Okay, I got my FC a couple months ago. It's been an amazing daily driver and car to slide around in. I'm beginning to grow attached to her and I don't wanna let her go.
So..she's gotta go.... Just kidding.
But seriously, I've done some work on her as well as just loving how the car feels as a whole. So I'm starting to feel that attachment.
However, I just want to explore other cars.
I've had a couple cars and my FC is by far taking the cake on the favor factor.
I really want to try a couple other cars, that way when i finally invest a decent amount of time and money into a car, i know its the car i want to stick with for sure.


As I mentioned, she's my daily driver. Too and from friends houses countless time throughout the day. Too and from work every week. etc etc.
Very reliable and F what you heard about rotaries.


Here's a few pictures:

I think that covers most of everything.
As I said earlier, it's my daily driver. Yes, i've gotten on it a few times. But no where near excessive. (pulls pretty hard and sounds amazing...not to mention revs forever ;p)
I've never had any problems while getting on it, or just in general for that matter.
It has some of the same problems any 80's car does.
(You have to give the sunroof a little love push to get its lazy ass up and retract. Once you get past the initial push, it retracts like normal via the button/switch) BOOHOOOO. :(

Serious pros/cons.
Pros:
-Every thing I listed up there^^
-Fun daily driver, gets sideways with ease)
-New Short Shifter.
-New Shift Knob.
-New tires still waiting to be mounted and balanced. (will get put on before car is handed off.)
-Clean title.
-Straight body for an 88.
-ALWAYS ran on fully synthetic 10-30w Royal Purple.

Cons:
-New Short Shifter. (really stiff, needs some breaking in.)
-Small dent in the driver side front fender. I managed to pull most of it with a 2x4 and a hammer. the rest can easily be rolled out. (even now its barely noticeable though. (May 11th, full dent. May 28th, pulled dent..much better right? right :))
-Rear diff mount bushings will need to be replaced sometime. (Quiet/slight clunking here and there. Not tons, but it happens sometimes)


Other then those FEW cons.
Honestly, there's nothing really wrong with it.
Again, car is a daily driver and hasn't failed me yet.
I'd hate to see her go, but I'd also love to find the BEST car out there for me. (Which very may as well be an FC!)

Forsale: $3500
or
I'm looking to trade for something swapped:
1.) S13 coupe preferred.
----But hatches w/ 180 tails gets me going.

2.) a cleaaan mx83 cressy?

3.) highly doubtful on an s14, but if you're down lets work something out.

4.) Turbo II FC!



I can add some cash depending on what you have to trade.
Clean KA's work.
I wouldn't mind an SR. (cash+items even?)
Hit me up lets work something out.

Yeah, NA Rotaries are indeed reliable.

My friend has DD'd his NA FC for two years now with no problem.

I think rotaries in general are reliable..its how people drive and take care of them that makes em unreliable.....:D
