I’ve seen worse that this for sure. Not one of my favorites at all, but I would ditch the hood and powder coat the rims black.

iono if you’re ready for this… because afterall, this is bing talking… but FD’s are so much hotter than 240sx’s…

but rotaries are the worst motors in the history of motor vehicles i don’t care what anyone says.

late model FD’s with the 99 front bumper and lights or whatever the stats are… that is one of the best looking cars ever made… they should never have discontinued it… if they made it today with a 380hp Mazda V8 it would outsell basically everything

It’s personal opinion, but I think most people would rather have this:

than this:

Or this:

One still looks good today, the other looks very dated.

I will say a nice 240 is one of my favs but I will still take an FD all day. My buddy has a 240/ls1 locally that is going to be running around huge cam+built motor next season. 🙂

you are right sir. v-8’s are nice and all, but there is just something about the rb, and that coupe wouldn’t look half bad if it still had the 240 interior or a full race interior all caged up n shit.  
oh n that awful hood scoop/body kit, well i guess this car basically does suck…
