Ok guys.



As of right now I own a 1990 Red Turbo II and a 1994 Honda Civic CX.



The Civic is used for taking me to and from work. Its in great condition, has only 87k on it and really nice TSW Wheels.



But man I love my RX. So I am thinking of doing one of 3 things.

1) Keep my Civic and do what I have been doing the whole time.

2)Sell the civic to buy more parts for my RX7.

3)Sell the civic and get a NA.



My Turbo II has a rebuilt engine with only 6k on the rebuild. Runs like a champ and only has one problem which is being fixed next week. I looked up my Civic bluebook wise and can get about $3,000-$4,000 for it.



I really can't stand driving the civic anymore. Its slow, and handles like **** compared to my RX7.



Give me some ideas!

If you're thinking of selling the civic look at your gas milage and see how much extra it's gonna cost to run the 7.



Love em and all, but they're not exactly fuel misers.

ok, well it sounds like youd like to keep the rx7, then sell the civic. Since youll be using as a daily, try and keep your mods on the reliable side, and not on the power side.

I hate to say it but.... Keep the civic. It gets good gas mileage and, odds are, it is a real reliable car.

Here's my two cents: I'd keep both cars. Drive the Civic daily and enjoy the RX-7 on Fridays and weekends. Using the 7 for a daily driver isn't a good solution because it drinks lotsa gas. The $3 to $4k you get for the Civic will be nice for a while, but it'll be gone before you know it and you'll only have one car. There is no substitute for good cheap reliable transportation. I've driven my 626 since new and it's got 165k on it. I've also got a Chevy one-ton duallie truck for the odd times I need a truck, and the T2 for when I want to go fast. My wife has her daily driver and a '78 Vette. So we are both proponents of the Multi-Car Theory.
