Don't sell it! The civic isn't close to being what that car will be when you get her on the street.

look man--

ALL things worth having require work, money, or both. That said, WTF would you do with a civic?? no, wait--let us guess.......
-Altezzas
-Pearl aqua paint--seems to be the color for civics here...
-Body kit
-MONSTER tach(maybe like 12" or so)
-Shogun spoiler

Oh, almost forgot the hydraulics

LOOK--the difference between the RX7 community and the Civic community is that we like our cars. They buy a Civic, then they have to make it into a car they like because they dont like it the way it is. Go to ANY gathering of 7s, and you will see more of them stock or close to it. Go to a gathering of CIVICS, and you won't even recognize half of them because of all the ricer **** that goes on them.

You want to own a rice blower? get a Civic. You want a REAL CAR? Keep the one you alredy have. You KNOW you couldn't own a civic and keep it bone stock after owning a 7. No comparison!

ok--now that you put it this way, here's the thing--

Your 7 is 14 years old. The average civic on the road is a couple years old. BIG difference. If you just want to have a car that you can always just jump in and go, then get a civic. Half the fun of owning my car is turning the wrenches on it, but if that isnt what you want then sell it. Having a 7 isn't just about owning a car. It's about tuning it, putting up with it's age, and spending money on PERFORMANCE stuff instead of racking up thousands of dollars in parts that only change the appearance of the car. I saw a Civic last week that had an intake and the required big muffler, and that was it for performance. This thing had more stickers than anything I ever saw, and the kid spent over five grand on the "look good" **** that didnt even look good! If thats what youre after then go for it. It would cost you less--parts are cheaper and easier to find. But man, I would hate to even think of gettin into a civic after driving a 7.......could you live with THAT every day?

Hell yeah, keep it...not only would you be going to a Civic (arch enemy of non-ricers) but you would also be going to FWD

trust me, after driving a RWD for almost any amount of time, you'll hate FWD...I do...it's why I'm getting rid of the '90 Ford Probe that I once claimed I'd never sell...
