Wait, you're using an RX7 as a DD while doing a Civic project? That's about ***-backwards........

That's kind of shitty that people drive around and shoot people's cars. Sounds like someone needs to get shot in the face......and I don't mean with a load of skeet.

Major props on one of the cleanest FC's EVER! Sucks about the shooting though, is your insurance going to cover the damage?

Get that EG done so you can start workin on that FC!!!!

Isn't that Bens (karack) old car? It's his shop in the second pic that's for sure.

Clean EK, I have a black 96 hatch that I daily drive. Couldn't imagine it being my main car, the rx7 is so much better all around. Maybe it would be funner if I didn't have a D16...

Motor swap. 190HP stock in a car that weighs 2,300 pounds. But yeah the civic should definitely be a fun daily driver while the FC a project.
I have pretty much the same shocks and springs combo on my FC and EK and both have Falken Azenis tires. Man the rx7 is so much funner the drive and take turns with.

nice cars, man. i surprised you didn't get flamed after showing your project Civic. it looks clean, i must say. get some wheels!

did the bullet wound cause any damage to functionality? like the hatch is harder to open?

nothing happend to the hatch or anything bad, just that it leaks when it rains. The only reason i got the FC is because i got it fot $800, wanted something cheap as a DD. The only thing that happend with the bullet shot was that it smashed my passanger side window. I never thought about calling insurance on that. You guys think they will cover it even thought i have liability and the car is already salvage?
