welp, even after swapping in a rebuilt head the ol civic was still using over a quart of oil per tank. it was blowing right through and blackening the hatch. messy and stank. i didnt want to go any deeper in the motor and i wanted to get something with a little more go power.

found this just a few miles from my house so i checked it out, drove it, then drove home in it with no more civic:frown:
eff it, its fast enough and four wheel steering is cool:iceslolan
2.2 turbo feels good when it kicks in around 3k rpm.

Dude I so want a tahitian green hatch,

it was one of the nicer ones left in this part of the rustbelt. sorry man. im sure you could find a cleaner one in florida. it was starting to rust around in the rockers, doors, and rear wheel wells.

the honda was a much tidier car than the mazda. but the mazda has 190 ft./lbs. stock:naughty: and it feels like it.

i actually hated that teal. im glad i dont have to look at that anymore. beauty is in the eye of the beholder there i suppose.

if that craiglist car was closer thats cheap enough for good parts car. oh well. you should get it, theyre fast and cheap. go smoke some hondas with it.:p

yes, works like the prelude. its speed sensitive. works like skateboard steering when under a certain speed and switches to steer with the fronts when over that speed. works slick too.

as for the 12v, yes its old tech but with a turbo even old tech can be fast.

actually a more accurate way of putting it would be to say a ford probe is a mazda mx-6. this one i have was made in japan. i think all the 4ws ones came from japan. the probes were built in michigan on the mazda platform.

just busting your b@llz man. That thing is mint. My brother use to have a non-turbo automatic one, and that thing was still pretty quick.

its kewl, i dont really give a damn. i actually think its a pretty boring looking car. reminds me of a early 90's two door accord. nothing remarkable. which is good. it surprises people that much more when it takes off!
