>Don't have money to spare but I have a 2003 Passat I don't use, needs new water pump and the leather has mold

Any way I could get this car, maybe for just the passat? I'm tempted to go back and look for the for sale sign again and ask if it still runs
>>
>3-4K for a bad condition N/A FC
It'll probably cost less but need a lot of work. Fix the Passat, sell it for what you can, save your shekels, and save the RX. It most likely isn't going anywhere.
>>
>>17816493
German cars are trash. Save the Rx.

I like the FC a lot. i would make mine a widebody though. this is a car with a great chassis that has VERY good suspension geometry. i want to make the most of it
>>
>>17816493
did it have the scoop or not?
if so, could be a turbo
>>
So Anon's im gonna take a few pictures via phone of the FC and my Passat, I'll be back in an hour or two because I gotta find that RX7 again, keep the thread alive

So anons, for reasons that I do not want to admit I have to walk there, I forgot to take pictures of my Passat before I made the journey, so I'll post pictures of the FC, before my Passat, and when I get back I'll post passat

>>17816568
That looks like shit. If you want widebody get bespoke panels made.

Anon don't sell your only car for an RX7.

You'll get like 1k tops for one of those, especially if the interior's fucked.

I'm just sick of seeing lovely panels being ruined by knobs drilling holes through them for their Universal Fender Flares™ and Rocket Bunny™ kits.
>>
>>17816648
yeah but the car came stock with such narrow wheels
>>
>>17816648

why is this a thing...?
>>
>>17816692
There's an idiot near my in-law's house that has a Rocket Bunny kit on his 350Z. The car is wider than the lane.
>>
Half way there, also body kit anons, this isn't your thread, I dislike the changing pf a cars cosmetics, if you don't like how one car looks but a different one, you wouldn't force a girl to have plastic surgery if you thought she was ugly
>>
TBO Japan is the only kit you should put on an FC3S next to an old school RE Amemiya one

Wish I had one. Only ever see it being driven, and I don't want to take a photo while he's in it in case he thinks I like it.

Some cars like the 350z look very nice and almost need a wide body kit like rocket bunny.
But for cars like the FC, esp the Turbo II,
Look fine with the stock ground effects and even stock mesh wheels

I think the Turbo II is one of the few cars I'd leave stock as far as aero kits go

Roller FC's in much better condition than that can be found for $300-1000 all day long. Any of the ones in those pictures will be far more trouble than they're worth. With rotary vehicles, the best plan is to simply expect them to not run (or not run correctly), and go for the best one in terms of body and interior condition that you can afford. 13B's can be replaced or rebuilt very easily if you're willing to put in some effort.
>>
>>17816981
So Ditch the FC's or no? Because last I knew people slammed these into guard rails trying to be the next ryosuke takahashi, and with that in mind the red one doesn't look too bad

Just look on Craigslist for a few weeks and you'll see what I mean. Maybe they're not as common where you live, but as far as I've seen and read, non-running FB's and FC's are a dime a dozen. FD's on the other hand will always be worth a decent amount unless they're wrecked or missing too much to even be a roller.
>>
>>17816981
The white FC only has paint problems, maybe some mold on the interior, mold on the exterior and maybe some rust, but no dents that I can see
>>
>>17816949
Red car is a 5th gen Toyota Celica.
Blue on the right is (probably) a Mazda Rx2
No idea of the other one.

So I hopped their fence, and the red FC has a very clean interior, only problems being cracks in the seat (pic) but the handle on the driver side is fucked up, also dent on the right side of bumper, the White FC had almost no extirior problems, except for a fucked up passenger handle and chipped paint, but the interior was trashed, so it's more of a question of what is cheaper to handle, interior or exterior?

exterior is ez, reupholstering isn't
also, $$$

Both will end up costing you more than the car will be worth.
