    Ah, brings back memories. I had a used FC when I was in college, an 86 N/A. I loved that little thing, learned manual on that, and had a ton of fun. I drove back and forth from NC to Chicago multiple times and from NC to Cali once. Did the N/As have a particularly weak transmission? I remember on a trip back to NC from Chicago, a couple of hours before arriving at home, 5th gear broke, so I drove over a hundred miles on the freeway with just 4 gears. The car was totally stock, not that anyone had any performance parts for it back in the early 90's. I remember it cost a bit over a grand to fix the transmission.

    I had one. It was awesome. I loved that Mazda said, "Nope, we're not making an automatic transmission one of these. This car is for drivers only." Back when I had one in the late 80's, early 90's though, we did not have the internet. The terminology "FC" was not something I was familiar with. Mine was upgraded with a "high-flow" intake, and an HKS exhaust system. Back then HKS would sell directly to the public, and I have the catalog from 1991 to prove it. I clocked a 14.2 quarter mile in mine, which was pretty solid for the time period.

  • @jacehackworth6413

    I know it's not a big difference, but I think an fc with the hood scoop and spoiler is one of the best looking cars ever, but if you take those away it looks really off putting.

    I drive a red turboII in HS. I had a lot of fun and miss it. Sadly after the coolant started mixing with the oil I traded it in. I think it was a cracked coolant passage seeping into the oilpan.

      @mykejohnson582 4 года назад

      Is that what made it smoke?, i had the chance to buy one back in 1997, in SC a 1991 Purple Mazda Rx-7 GTU convertible w/blk top Turbo ed. 5 spd. it had a hood scoop and a gold wheel half spoke trim package, at the time i knew it was a very special type because all the rest i've seen were not like that, but i was also on the fence of getting a 1991.5 Honda Accord Ex sedan on the same day, what made me go with the Honda as i really like that turbo GTU style Rx-7, was when the dealer cranked it up and it was steadily smoking and i was upset as i really wanted the car and he thought that he was going to hussle me.
