What to daily drive, Civic or S14

[Bigsyke]

So its come down to what I should designate as a daily driver. 2 things come into play, salt/rust and theives.

I have an s14, and a 98 civic coupe. The civic is all mugen'd up, pretty much a finished project, however I havent driven the car in about 6 months due to snow. I also can not park the car in public due to the large population of honda theives here.

The S14 is starting to take alot of my money. I just dropped about $1500 in 5speed swap parts, and will have much more potental than the civic from what I can see. However its getting some frame rust from being DD'd durring the winters- the civic hasnt seen snow, and hasnt a drop of rust on any part of the chassis, not even the brake rotors - its garaged full time.

Should I put the civic back to stock and daily drive it and put the 240 in the garage full time?

I find Im starting to cherish the 240 more as I still cant find a clean one for sale within 500 miles.

don't throw anymore money into the s14 and just drive it.

[Bigsyke]

But theres so much stuff to do to it!

[Deftec]

Agreed, don't spend much more on the S14. Or find another beater. The civic sounds like it's in good condition, and will bring some good money in a few years. Same for the S14.

[shishcabobers]

Sell all your mugen parts and what not so you can moar money to put into your s14. It's time to start a new project, since your civic seems to be a done deal as a project.

[RiversideS13]

part out your civic and sell it. a 11 years old civic for garage queen does not make too much finical sense. sell it before it get stolen

[ronmcdon]

neither are a good idea if you have a lot of thieves in your area.
It's not like 240's don't get stolen these days.
I don't see how the civic would be more vulnerable to rust than the S14, and vice versa.

I say sell/part them both and just get a new car and be done with it.
some new car deals out there are looking pretty good. it's a great time to buy/lease.
it's also a good time to sell, if you have something fuel efficient and practical like the civic.

garage queen civic

not worth it

sell parts

garage queen a car that actually has some importance

keep driving the 240 who gives a shit about rust unless you plan on keeping it for the rest of your life

just maintain it and you'll be fine with the snow

[luckvx]

keep the civic out of the snow and dd the s14

[trsilvias13]

[ANVIL]

what engine mods on the civic?

[Om1kron]

But theres so much stuff to do to it!

I love people who have their minds set, but attention whore it up for opinions.

[!Zar!]

Why are you modding your s14 at all if it's supposed to be a DD?

keep the civic the way it is and continue to beat on the s14.

[Mangudai]

Lol there's nothing wrong with modding a DD long as you use common sense.

[Bubbles]

Civics are perfect daily cars, put your money into something rwd.

[Sil-Abc]

from what it sounds like, u already made up ur mind but u just want someone to tell u otherwise or tell u what u want to hear.

[handinpants]

Sell all your mugen parts and what not so you can moar money to put into your s14. It's time to start a new project, since your civic seems to be a done deal as a project.

I agree, sell your honda stuff. I would much rather take the bus than drive a honda:rant:

At this point I'd trade my 240 for a super clean black CRX.

[drftwerks]

how bout a 500 dollar pos that has a heater and runs.

[flip3d]

bring civic back to stock so you can DD it, sell parts, dump money into your new S14 garage ornament

[vin diesel]

sell civic, buy stock 240 and drive it. then you can have 2 240's :)

[Ninjabread]

If it were up to me, and this is what I'm doing now...

-keep civic stock(or revert it) for daily, enjoy 35-40mpg and worry free daily
-mod the s14, because in the end, I believe you can get WAY more enjoyment out of an FR platform, plus when it breaks you can just drive your stock civic with no worries.

[ronmcdon]

all these damn honda threads are giving me 'seller's remorse' (if there is such a thing),
for getting rid of my crx si a few months back.
the stupid owner i sold it to got it stolen too, so I can't buy it back.
