    I have an Turbo II. I didn't really like it and bought it just so I can learn on it to buy FD, my dream car later. But working on the FC I fell in love with it. FD is gorgeous, arguably the most beautiful car ever made. But the FC has the 80s looks. The fenders, the interior. The dashboard looks so much better than the FD one. The only dash I may like more would be the Lancia Delta Integrale one. I'm planning to buy an FD, I want to own one at least for a while in my life as it's my dream. But I think I'll never sell my FC.

    LONG READ What I did on my FC is picked up a can of amsoil power foam. Disconnect the intake to access the throttle body. Open up the throttle plates and spray the entire can in. Then unplug your large under hood IGN fuse and EGI/EGI COMP fuse. This depowers the fuel pump and ignition coils. Crank the engine over a couple of times so the power foam coats all three rotor faces. Let it sit overnight, plug your fuses back in, and start it up. Let all the foam burn off (do it outside!!) and then you should be good to go. Redline it every time you drive. My NA 13b that sat in a field for 15 years tested good compression afterwards 👍

    Well, if you are gonna open the engine and rebuild it. You will have to scrub alot if you don't have access to some quality machines. I used a ultrasound machine, and then soaked the rotors and engine block parts in some transmission fluid. Then scrubbed the hell out of it with a non metal brush and it got them looking beautiful ! 👍🏽

    Video is a good explanation of the engine differences, however the chassis are also significantly different. The FC has struts up front and semi-trailing arms at the rear (with an extra link for camber control), and the body is kept to less than 1.7m wide to ensure eligibility for the lower rate of Japanese road tax - a similar package to an S13/S14 (240SX). The FD became a more expensive all-out performance car, with double wishbones all round, and is nearly three inches wider while being lower, shorter and a little lighter.

Just because it's a good tuner car doesn't mean we have to mod the crap out of every single one of them. We should start preserving as many stock FDs as we can. Plus, Mazda didn't produce over 200,000 FCs for nothing.

    I had an '88 Turbo II. Great car. Fun, and fast. With HKS exhaust, and a high-flow intake, I ran a 14.2 quarter mile. Killed so many Mustangs it was a blast. A few months later I put a boost controller on it and destroyed it. :( Should have been happy with what I had in the early 90's. But this car could not compete with the twin turbo imports and the LT1 GM F-body's of the era, which is why I ended up detonating it with a boost controller, sadly.

    Just buy an FC. They have such a good community behind them and not to mention a whole other drifting community as well. They are also extremely good first drift cars, just like 350Zs. And there are so many great parts for them by respected aftermarket tuners like RE Amemiya and Fujita Engineering (FEEDS). Plus, with an experienced tuner, you can easily get up to 350, 400, 450 or even 500hp. Plus, who would wanna rip out a Rotary from an RX-7?

    Civic type R to be specific, the new ones are turbocharged. When he says "traditional" he doesn't mean old cars, he means that the power delivery feels like any other turbocharged car

    fd is more expensive, fc will be cheaper, but is more likely to have been beat on since its a bit older. Ik this is a year old comment, but if you haven't gotten one yet hope this helps! If you have let us know what you got!
