First of all, the only thing I would use FWD for is a winter car or a rally car and even then it wouldnt be that great, AWD would be ideal. The civic, yea that was stupid. FWD cars are not made for performance. The only reason it blew was because the guy I had helping me tune my car changed the rev limiter and went for a test drive, came back and a hole was in the block the size of a rod... hmm wonder what happened. Also when he launched at a redlight the transmission shredded itself. Byw bye civic project.
The Mirage was AWD btw. It started as FWD, but was in the process of AWD and I had transmission issues so I parked it untill I could figure out the problem. While trying to fix the problem the engine started knocking and smoking because of a guy lying about shit he had done to the engine so I labled it as done, and was going to sell it. Before I could sell it, the car was parked across the street of my house and my drunk ass neighbor in his old shitty nissan truck always parks on my property, so while trying to keep him from doing so I parked my car on the property line so he couldnt cross it. Well he was drunk and ended up not seing the car and just plowed into it. It was soo awesome, the insurance I had was liability so I got nothing for the car. Not even for the parts and work I put into it. BTW my car was rated number 2 in the most deadliest cars on the road, so I took that as a sign from God and moved on. Now Im working on buying an accord that the guy has already riced up with 4 tv's ps2, xbox, dvd player, sound system, body kit, paint, lowered with bags, and I plan on doing a 6g72tt swap in it. Yes that is sacryligeous (cant spell) by putting a mitsu engine in a honda. But on top of that, Im going to make the car even more of a sleeper and looking into converting it to RWD. I had a shop do most of my AWD shit, but Im doing this on my own because I just had my uncle teach me how to weld some, and plus I want to say I did all the mechanical mods.
when you get your ass handed to you in what looks like a riced out honda, but is really the ultimate sleeper with a twin turbo 6 cylinder RWD hybrid car, people will start to rethink the way they mod civics. hopefully anyway. Thats what Im aiming for.
Idk about the rest of you, but Im sick of these bastards in civics that are completely stock except for an axle back and an intake that weave in and out of traffic and do the ricer fly by just because they have an unpainted body kit and shitty crome rims and on top of all that, the car is an auto. I want to be able to get up next to a mustang thats blown or turbo'd and be able to not only kill his time, but also have him wondering how a honda could do that.
