Hey guys,

I was wondering if I'd be able to fit a hockey bag and a pair of hockey sticks into an FD. The sticks are my main concern - they're about 5 1/2 feet long. I've searched the forums, as well as google, and I haven't been able to find anything that helps me out. I'm currently in the process of looking for a new vehicle, and the RX-7 is at the top of my list - however, this will be a daily driver, and I play hockey 2-4 times a week. Can anyone help me out? Anyone play hockey / know someone with an RX-7 that plays hockey? Thanks,

MJ Canuck

 

It will suck. With the rear divider out you can lay the sticks across the trunk, across the center console, and into the passenger seat. Then I had to squeeze my bag into the passenger seat, which barely fit. The interior is fragile, and sticks will tear it up.

FDs make terrible daily drivers. At least spend $2k to have a beater car for hockey runs and other stuff. Then if the FD is being prissy you can park it and take the beater.

 

Meh, I was afraid that would be the answer. I don't need the FD as a "daily driver" in the sense that most people do - I live across the street from my office, and I'm a block away from a train stop for the light rail that runs through town. I live in Dallas, which is not a particularly pedestrian-friendly city, but I've been able to get by without a car for over a year now. I can get rides to and from hockey from friends on my team, and the rail and other friends have been able to get me anything else I need.

However, I'm about done with this whole "without a car" experiment, and I'd like to have a car for hockey and other random errands. I don't expect to need to drive more than 2-3 times a week, and if the FD got finicky I could get by without a car for however long it took to fix (I've been doing it for a year after all). I didn't realize that the interior was that fragile though, I don't want to tear it up with my equipment. I'll have to think about it - thanks man, I appreciate the help.

not sure how much help it will be but i do know that in the back of an fc you can fit a driver side door.
