^This is your best bit of advice in the entire thread. It's sad how many people are afraid to learn a new platform. Rotaries are incredibly simple engines and are easy to work on. I applaud someone who actually TRIED to go with a rotary (like Berto) before swapping, rather than someone who immediately swapped. The biggest majority of rotary engine failure is NOT the apex seals, but rather something like a fuel system malfunction, bad tuning, etc,.
Engine topic aside, the FD is the most beautiful car I have ever owned. It does not look bad at any angle. The handling is amazing, the layout is perfect, and it is a car that will make you smile every time you walk out to the garage and see it. If you are a fat ass like myself, you will find it tight. If you plan to race it at all, check your helmet clearance. I doubt with a name like "Littleguy" that you have much to worry about. However, I cannot race mine. Good luck!
