im considering trading my FB for a 92-95 turbo civic hatch..

[flameon]

 

Boo

 

Go for it. Heh, you'll be back. Attention *****.

 

and be just another ricer? Nah bro dont do it!

 

I have one of those in GT4...

I'd be embarassed to own one in real life!!

 

Rice Rice Rice

 

It might be turbo... It might be fast... Hell, it may by some chance even look good (As good as a Civic can look.)

But there's still gonna be one thing wrong with it.

I wish I could say it was still april fools day....

 

yeah i don't think u'd like that civic for long, FWD really changes things, i hate FWD cars, i drove that friggin sentra around forever... and FWD burnouts look gay

 

coming from a civic owner...

wtf are you thinkin?

 

take it to the track, once you still run nothing better than a 14.0 (if that) you will realize you made a mistake. a turbo on your fb can hit very low 13's and even 12's easy. there are turbo crx's and civics for days here and i watch them scoot around making all that noise but not really going anywhere. it's kinda sad. dont get me wrong, there are some really fast ones.... with 10 grand in the motor it's just not worth it. but, have fun. get you some apc parts and stuff

 

**** you can run a mid to high 13 on a gslse with intake exhaust and ignition ( advanced timing and msd box) why go to a honda where even a high compression motor with bolt ons only gets you low 14s? Just aint right. Unless you sell me your old gslse real cheap then id say GO FOR IT jk dont do it and if you do keep the SE so it doesnt cost you a lot to make the honda mistake

 

hes thinking that he should get a civic...rice it out...and stick a massive bridgeported 13btt in it...lol...then when people ask what hes got under the hood he can explain the long and ellustrious past...but you will be back!!

 

I was getting excited when I read the title thinking another V8, but a CIVIC! Come on, as a DD but never to replace the 7

 

7's make great DD's!

I say go for it. Anyone who would consider this never had the 'bug' anyway...

 

If you want a honda, buy a shell and swap in one of the newer k-series motors. You can buy a k20a3 for well under 1k$ if you look hard enough, 5 spd manual w/ 160 hp is more than good enough for an older, lighter shell. Makes a nice, very fun to drive daily driver.

There are plenty of honda sites out there.




But I just still can't understand the reasoning as to why.

 

All I gotta say is at least he isn't considering blasphemy...better that someone else get his RX-7 if he's tired of the game than stuffing a boinger in there "looking for performance and/or reliability"...

 

okay, please, please explain to me how a stock bodied TURBOCHARGED civic hatchback with wheels, is rice..
im not an attention *****, this is a dead serious post.

and long duck, ive owned and driven these cars for nearly 3 years, (im 20) and ive been through 4 of them... i do have the bug, i will buy another rx-7 eventually, i just need a break from 11mpg on a daily driven car, and with gas @ 2.60 a gallon i cant ****** afford to pay 15 dollars a day in gas and i dont even leave the valley

a turbo civic will be faster than my car now and still get 25 mpg... nuff' said

i guess

 

good plan. because of gas prices i have been considering such a thing as well. A turbo hatch is a very fun car. I have one friend with a turbo'd 92 and another friend with a JDM swapped b16a swapped 92 with all kinds of goodies. . The car weighs in at like1850 with driver. . crazy ****.

As i posted in your other thread...dont do it...civics are gay

 

YOU may think civics are gay, but wait till im beating you in the 1/4 mile in mine

 

thats a good one!!

i have pleanty of friends that have turbo hondas, they get poor gas mileage, cops constantly harrass them on the motor swaps, non smog eqipment, exhaust, constant vehicle impounds, , and on, and on... the cops here leave the rotaries alone, dont ask me why, but cops here would rather pick on hondas!!

oh, i almost forgot, ive beat all of the turbo hondas around here with my white car!!! thats sad!!!! automatic used 13b turbo motor smokes a K series turbo honda anyday, i know from experience!!

enjoy your honda greg! LOL

 

I loved my hatch. I had it for 7 years or so. I miss it to this day. It was never a good drag car, but it did alright on the road course.

 

you gotta remember robert, wa is nothing like california, they dont harass us with motor swaps up here.

i know plenty of ppl with turbo civics still getting 20mpg city.. thats better than my 13mph HIGHWAY
lol

 

Get a moped and drive the 7 on rainy days ! For the sake of all that is cool and good, do not get a Honda... especially a hatch. Jeez !
