They are awesome. As soon as my car sells, i'll be buying a series 8 Type RS
As has been mentionened before, definatly look at the Type RS. More power, 17" wheels, Bilstein suspension, larger brakes, foglamps, 4.3 diff.
Get onto AusRotary and FD Owners forums and find out as much as you can about them. Also, check out this website Click here. When I started looking into them, I found this site to be a great source of info.
Good luck!
