How many FC's died to creat yours?
~2
I have 2 parts cars that I've used most of the needed stuff from. I have a few various parts from other people (before I got my parts cars), but probably not enough to be worth mentioning.

My 1990 TurboVert has parts from about 5 Aspec S5 FC's, 3 Jspec S5 FC's, 1 or 2 FD's, and a few modded GM and Mopar parts (radiator, air compressor, transmission cooler, some pipeing maybe a few other parts)....Total about 8 FC's and 4 or 5 other types of cars...13 cars were brutally murdered to create mine
! ha!ha!ha!

An S4 Japanese Cop Car gave up its motor for my car (S5 internals, S4 externals). Some corvette gave up an airpump, and I think the rest of the stuff is new, except for some random brackets I found in the bin at the shop, no idea what they're for or from.
I would say a the better part of a dozen! I must confess that I did dismantle an 89 GTUs about 4 years ago. Now I am struggling to find one for my new project. Still have parts from those fallen FC's in bins in the basement including JDMer's TOO!
You also have to rememeber that most of the parts that have been replaced on your car are rebuild parts from someone elses car that they turned in as a core... although not nessicarily a dead car.
This is kind of misleading....How many have died? Id say donating a part doesent mean you killed another one. Id say if you took something major, and made it unusable is another thing, or else ive probably killed 10 or so myself. +1 Cosmo.
A new headlight, AFM, fan shroud, different motor with rotors, housings, and irons from different vehicles, a headlight switch when my dash and tails went out, a ton of various bolts I stripped from a junkyard car. I didn't realize it till I thought about it...but I guess there have been a few donors. Probably 7+ cars that were already junkered
Only one for me. My S5 vert has the front bumper, hood, and passenger side headlight from a base model, red S5. How do I know? The hood isnt aluminum like it should be, the inside of the headlight and bumper are red, and my bumper support is slightly bent from a font end collision. I didn't wreck it, but the guy I bought it from rolled into a car stopped in front of him at about 10 mph.
2 that I know of, but many injured I'm sure. Other than that I use alot of Mazda factory parts. You would be surprised how reasonably priced the dealer can be! Well, I do kinda have a hook up at the Mazda dealer I used to work at...=) Sorry guys.
Yes, it is nice.

Not sure. My sport came with blue TII seats, and red back seats (rest of the interior is gray), so I have to assume 2 different cars there. The hood is a steel hood from my base model, I set aside it's original aluminum hood for my other car. I got a sway bar end like from a junkyard FC, and a steering wheel from a junkyard vert.
Speaking of the other car, it's a virgin for now. Pretty soon it will receive an engine from another car, and a 5-lug swap. And I'd imagine it will receive alot more in my quest for perfection. It needs a few interior pieces, a new rear bumper, and I hope to eventually have a complete TII drivetrain in it.

I agree with some of you. Just because you used parts from an fc doesn't mean its dead/sacrificed. It could still be restored by getting back those same parts from another FC or use aftermarket parts.
I bought a clip so it actually was killed (cut in half) lol
