if you got the money to purchase and maintain it, yes!

FC is old now and more than likely highly abused.
FD is even pushing, unless you buy a Low K import.

FD def.

lol, rotaries, the 'egg beaters' of internal combustion engines.

You know why the lebo's like 'em? Only 3 moving parts in the engine.

gahey
if it a rotor it aint a motor

rotors are great, the fc is quite a bit older than the fto though.
they're both cool looking sports cars but the fc has turbo models and is rear wheel drive.

the fd is a fair amount more expensive than an fto.

just go for what you like most.

If you are seriously thinking about buying an RX-7, then you need to do some research .. the reason for going FD over FC should be pretty obvious .. but if you prefer the FC shape, then get one & mod it if you want more power..

Personally, I think that for the "awesomeness" factor, you can't go wrong with a Series 1 FB with a 13BT Series 2 Engine & some of the running gear thrown in.

I love 'em.

However, better have deep pockets. Most of my mates with rx spend just as much time of the road as they do on.

just remember to warm it up before you use it everytime

They do really need money thrown at them all the time so make sure your prepared before you buy one. That said, they are f%kn awesome. I've driven my mates fd and could barely keep it friendly. They love to oversteer, plenty of torque.

yep, money .. engine rebuilds ..but it's all part of the fun right?
