which car has the..

[Monkey Garage]

My friend's drivin' a FC with over 270,000 on the odometer and his runs great. Never rebuilt it, just kept up with the oil changes and regular tune-ups. Everyone says rotories are maitenance whores. I disagree.

Fc!

my FC is doing great right now, its such a good drifter i juss got done doing it today at my drift spot, it was super dope, im getting a lot better n right now im the best drifter at my school in mira mesa

[PhantomAE86]

I have a machanic i like....

he is really good and we went to school together so I get discounts i'm driving an s13 but the fc sounds great but he doesn't know $hit about rotories i don't want to get another machanic. My point is, is the fc more difficult to tune and where would i get more info on the tuning

[SeanFC3S]

i ono?

i was drifting today with my friends that all have 240's, S13 and 180 n S14, i would go with S14 its so easy to drift, but my friends with S13 n 180 gonna sell their cars because SOHC is to slow, but DOHC is alright but understeer is a big problem, EBAKE is for sure needed wen learing, but all my friends want FC even would sell a S14 for FC, i ono i love my rotary motor, im over the toe steering angle to, i could controll it like nothing, im getting pretty good but yeah i ono, i live in southern san diego, lets go drift? MIRA MESA mecca town

Now dont take this the wrong way, SeanFC, but please, for the love of god, use punctuation and capitals. Your posts are very compitent (sp?) and I want to read them, but it is very difficult with the poor punctuation and capitalization (or lack thereof).

Yea, Maybe he skipped 1st grade English

im way down to go drift sometime. i know of a few spots here and there, but nothing amazing. i am just finishing up on my swap on my s13 so i got to brake in my new clutch so give me a little while, like a week or so and im down. also, tell your friend to get coiulovers or a lsd and he wont have any more underster in his s13 unless hes reatarded lol.
call me 619 985 1879
or aim me at sdtouge

later

if your down to drive like 30 mmin. i know of some spots sick for gripping...

People r trippn i have drifted a 240 and an FC n i only had my license for 2 weeks, I drove my friends S14 and it was super EZ to drift with but power is low, my FC is a little harder but i think its a lot better wen u get the hang of it. Its a lot more faster unless the motor is swaped to SR20 on the 240 but if u get 3rd gen motor turbo it will kill the 240 with SR. Its not that much money either, swap the motor urself, i helped swap an SR20DET motor but it needs a lot of tuning n swaping a rotary motor is a lot easier than SR. FC3S is hella good at drifting and is good for low speed drifts wen u get good. But gotta learn without the Ebrake or get better brakes and ebrake if u want, i faint and clutch kick at the same time, it does the trick, most ppl r *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* to get the FC sideways because u go a lot faster than a 240 to lose traction wen ur learning. GO FASTER and try it in an open parking lot with a cones set up as turns.

you are WRONG! swapping a 13B-REW ("3rd gen motor") is not by any means easy, definitely not easier than SR20. especially considering the sr20 was designed to go into s13's and s14's. the 13B-REW was never designed to go into an FC. nobody makes motormounts for it, so unless you wanna custom fabricate some, you can forget about it. get a clue, read this

There is so much WRONG in this post that it hurts. swapping a 13B-REW ("3rd gen motor") into an FC is ridiculously hard. Unless you consider custom fabricating motor mounts or a new crossmember easy (nobody sells motor mounts for this swap). Not to mention all the ecu stuff youd have to deal with. And you said if you get a 3rd gen motro turbo it will kill the SR, as if theres a non-turbo version of the 13B-REW (which there isnt). the best power you could get out of an FC is the TII engine or a cosmo (either 13B-RE or 20B) engine. The cosmo would still require some custom things but most of what you need can be bought for these specific conversions, but we're talking about big money at that point. Also, no matter what engine swap you do a lot of tuning is necessary if you want to do it right and keep your engine from blowing up.

true

yeah i know a shop i could do it at for cheap, they only work on RX7's n i know ppl from japan to send me the motor n everything i need, i ono if u live in SD or cali but down south towards mexico ne thing could b found trust me, or in LA

[theflatlander]

guestion for ya, what would is the point in swapping to the REW? If this car is for drifting i don't see why you'd need the REW, the 13bt can give you all the power you need.

ahahaha... best way to start the day is with a laugh
