I LOVE the FDs.

There's an FC in my neighborhood, has a really nice exhaust note.

that's so hot.

The first time I saw one (like 8 years ago), I said "I'm getting one of those." I knew nothing about it, except that it was the sexiest car I've ever seen. That's the only car I've ever done that with.

Sadly, I probably won't get one.

A guy 2 blocks from me owns a red one of these. It is beautiful. I gawk at the thing every time i drive by it. Almost as nice a Red Supra Twin Turbo.

I like how he has the JDM front end on it ;) If only it didn't have the buldge for the license plate...otherwise, it'd be PERFECT

Front license plate ruined everything. I give it a 1/10 for looks.

What would you consider to be hot in the sports coupe arena (not counting Porsches, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Lambos, etc)?

I swear, it must be one of the most perfectly designed cars of the 90's. It still looks modern today. It makes the RX-8 look like total sh!t

I kinda like the RX-8.. from certain angles. I dunno, I like that kinda retarded styling. However, I agree that it's a failure.

He had the apex seals replaced 15k miles ago which will probably last another 85k. Those are what makes the rotary "unreliable". Replace them and you're good to go.
