My FD is so unreliable that I've decided to shove a V8 into it and hope it works ... better than a front-heavy bump-steering 20B conversion with the same weaknesses as the 2-rotor version of the rotary engine.

Give me another sentence to complete.

My FD is so unreliable that I opened my own shop to save money on parts.
My FD is married to my garage but having an affair with the shop down the street.
My FD is always homesick because it's never home.
Just think ehere else can you spend $16k on a daily driver that you can't drive daily.

these are mostly jokes but i can definatly see where some of them are comming from. just have enuf money for a extra engine and even then, it will be cheaper then a new civic but 100X as fast and 100X as nice!!!


P.s. my joke is... my fd is so unrelible that it cost me over 3k for relibility upgrades and is still unrelible

My FD is so unreliable... that the guys at the Mazda Parts counter felt so bad they gave me the employee discount. Actually that one is partly true... for awhile I was getting the employee discount at Mazda... those were great days. :P

Or how about this one... my FD is so unreliable I bought a FB to be my hot rod. This one is also true... too bad my first gen isn't running right now.

clues include:
sir-1
pone-1
pun-1
pile-1
gripe-2
climb-2
plant-1
pier-1
country-3
mentor-3
sing-1

the number next to the words = how many letters of each word are one of the letters of the "missing" word.
for example:
meat-1
eat-0
would equal out to the letter M being one of the letters in the missing word.


come one jim, i have faith in you, i know you are a smart guy.

The FD is so unreliable that....

Holly Woodward's properly-maintained stock 93 makes only 2 hp less at 100k than it did at 50k, and she's never needed any major work...

ok, that wasn't funny. How about...

...Holly Woodward has dragged her car, run numberous track events, flogs her car for passengers, and redlines it (at least) weekly, and still makes perfect boost.

Hmmm. Still no go?....

...the only modifications on Holly's car are a boost gauge and aluminium AST (both of which were free, natch); she still has the stock precat, and her engine bay is still in good condition. Not to mention her turbos and solenoids.

Well, damn. One more time...

...that Dwayne Mahoney's 93 R1 has crossed 100k as well, and his only complaint has been about a small puff of smoke on cold startup.

I dunno, guys. I guess I've just lost my touch this morning.

FWIW, I believe that if you stress your FD to its maximum all the time, things will break. Don't believe that driving style has anything to do with it? Try racing a stock Civic Si for 24 hrs straight. Things will break - like a frozen caliper and CV joints. Where's the famed Honda reliability then? The same place as your FD's, I'd wager But what do I know? I own a 2nd-gen that needs brakes, duty control solenoid, precat, etc, etc, etc,

The FD's so unreliable, I'd rather be seen in a Miata.

(Borrowing from Rodney Dangerfield) My FD's so unreliable, it's got more vertical miles on it than horizontal.

My check engine light has burned out....

The FD's should have been sold with a spare engine instead of a spare tire.
