to all RE club members.... need advice

[stopid9]

hi guys,

i'm a newbie here and really need advice from you guys... currently i'm driving E7 and perdana for daily use.. i intent to sell my perdana (as on car for sale section) and wanted to get a drift car..

my problem is i never drift before and is it worth buying a FD for a guy like me??
i did test drive before on a FD and i found that the seat are quite tight and not comfortable.. did any FD owner dismantle the rear seats to make it more spacious??

lastly, i did heard that rotary engine always give problem and very hard to maintain,is it true? btw, wat's the fuel consumtion, RM10 = ?? km..

hope that FD owner can help me out..
thanks guys...

Can you tell us your body size? I thnk joe13 can advice you on this,right? If you are really big big size (XXL - XXXL), then abit susah lo.

First of all , the FD is not the most economic car to drive. So your RM10="how heavy your foot is"km.
From your post i think you would be better to buy a datsun120y or a beater car to drift in. You can search for done up drift car and get them much cheaper than buying a FD.

Jasonlel; I don't think the search button would be much help since the RE forum here is still in the beginning stage :)

Depends on what topic, I think the fuel consumption already been discuss alot already... also about how "hard" to maintain a FD also been discuss before. I know that coz last year I too was looking for a FD and it was discuss before.

Unless the thread has been deleted....

The FD has been known to accomodate ppl up to 6ft 5in. And in term of size, i'm a fat boy, and i'm still ok. Removing the rear seats will NOT make any difference in terms of space.

jason,

someguy,
120y kinda ugly wor... i like the FD looks, "yeng"ma

joe,
i did test drive before the FD and found out that kinda weird when sitting inside lor, or i'm not used to it.
