240SX spolier on a FC?

Whilest rummaging through a slavage yard, I happened upon a 240SX with a pretty nice spolier, looked stock. Does anybody know if I could get it to fit my FC with relative ease?

Also, are there any other Mazda seats that will fit into a FC? I don't know Mazdas really well, but I saw a (92-95?) MX-3 or MX-6, and I really liked the style of the seats, and was curious if I could get them into my car without too much modding, if any.

Any help or thoughts or anything would be great. Thanks.

ok 240sx stock spoilers are incredibly BAD...
my s13 had the spoiler at first, they are a wierd foam material like a kickboard, and they warp and hold moisture and rust anything under them. 99% of 240sx guys ditch it right away....

unlike them i ditched the 240 almost right away, traded it for my rx7!

well wotnardt,

I'd say measure your FC and then go back to the junkyard and take some measurements of the s13 spoiler.

I can't remember exactly what the center support peice on the s13 spoiler looks like, but I'm sure if you really wanted the spoiler to work, you could "mod" it accordingly.

Why don't you just try and find a stock s4 or s5 Rx7 spoiler? They're not too expensive...

Many years ago racing beat sold a nice spoiler. I don't think they carry it any more, do they?

I don't have a problem with spoilers on the FC's since they are rear wheel drive but why in the world someone would want more downforce on a front wheel drive Honda Civic kills me :-)

Sorry I don't have pics. I even brought my camera, in case I found a FC and wanted to take pics and stuff for analysis at home (I'm **** like that). Alas, I found 6 dead FBs, that made me a little sad. Not like blown engine dead, but like "Oh my God, is that blood on the dashboard?" dead. If you ever need a reason to wear a seat belt go to a salvage yard and look at the shattered windshields, it's really sobering.

What are you talking about man?! Rear spoilers on civics add ATLEAST 25whp. Couple that with an R sticker (50whp) and a fartcan (25whp), you can have a 500 horsepower civic. Dont even get me STARTED on how much power they put up with a fake NOS bottle.
