Not a NEW-B but need advice =)

[Jadesr20det]

To quote R. Kelly I usually dont do this but.....I need some serious advice/guidance/3rd party perspective...... In the process of trying to make my decision I have written down a list of pro's/con's etc etc and @ this point i am looking for some input from the community..... I do have another shell sitting in my driveway (originally for the wife) so I wont be leaving the scene completely......To the point I am looking to either sell or trade my car to get something newer or more interesting....I have always loved the FC's and so this is an interesting proposition that I recieved I will update w/more pics when i get more but for now this is what i have w/info compared to my car the S13......I know its up to me in the long run however I would like opinions/insight thanks in advance

The car was built to be RELIABLE above all else it has never left me stranded. Took her to a local dyno here and she pulled 220WHP and 200TQ on 5lbs of boost. Car is very fun and the MPG she gets is also very good as long as you stay out of boost (3500 RPM). Parts are as follows: new (about a month) BC Coilovers (make stance)w/gt spec strut bars, koyo copper radiator,14" electric fan wired to ignition (when car is on fans are on and when car is off so are fans), radiator cooling panel, motorset purchased from ASAP motors, aftermarket downpipe, EVO front mount intercooler,Geddy HG,3 angle Valve job, ebay piping kit, full 3 inch custom exhaust from muffler shop, 255 Walboro fuel pump, REAL Greddy intake, custom shift knob, Megan racing short throw version 2 (similar to B & M without the high speed whine of B & M), S14 seats (gray center), Apexi NEO, Battery relocated to trunk, Greddy Type R BOV,rebuilt t25 turbo, wiring done by Wiring Specialties, Nismo radiator cap, Samco radiator hoses, D1 fenders, Hippo Sleek LED tail lights (very rare everyone who has seen them always wants to buy them from me), car has power steering, no a/c,dimpled and slotted BREMBO Rotors and semi-metallic pads, 18x8 (2) 18x9.5 (2) +15 tenzo dc-6's,300ZX Fuel Filter, New clutch slave cylinder,3rd brake light removed (very clean), silverstar hid glass headlights,only rust on car is where battery used to be but that will be taken care of shortly,also speedo doesnt work (but the rest of the cluster does dohc tach just need to get a speed sensor) car has always received Mobil 1 synthetic oil changes with puralator filters

Soooo uh what are you looking for exactly....

[numbnuts240]

i think he has to get rid of one but doesn't know which...

[Jadesr20det]

Sorry didnt clarify my car is the s13 and there is a guy who wants to trade me for his fc

[White Comet]

i'd go for the fc

[Jadesr20det]

i'd go for the fc

I assume they are not the nightmare people make them out to be then?

[Wc240]

ya they are. but sometimes so are 240s

[White Comet]

they really arent if you learn them before tearing into them. my fc never gave me any trouble except for a while i had a leaky injector but even that wasnt a big deal.

[Jadesr20det]

I figure its the same with anything that your not familiar with......I knew nothing of SR's but after messing w/them I'm not scared to tear into one......If it were an FD I wouldnt think twice since those are known to have problems but the FC's (from what I hear) are a little less of a PITA
