Thanks Mario,
All that add dose is reinforce everything my dad says. "My first house cost,my first car cost" LOL I wonder what a Honda civic will be worth when it's 46 years old.? But to sum it up , I don't care I've got a roadrunner LOL. I think my rc time over the summer will take a bit of a hit, apparently one of the cousins wants to use it as a wedding car, Sweet free beer and gas money.... |

Where has our world gone so wrong. We all just keep chasing our tails trying to make more and every time we do everything costs more. Maybe we need a reset back to when people made very little and were happy having less? Yeah, you're right. F that! I like toys!
![]() Hard to say what a current model Civic might be worth in a few decades. I guess if you have one of the original cars now they are worth a fair penny considering they weren't cool to own back then.lol It's like anything, you just have to find a few eccentric rich people that think something is cool and then all us other sheep follow... I hear stuff made by RCP's is amazing and everyone needs some. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

LOL so true.
I blame tv, watching the dukes of Hazzard was a really bad influence on me. I could never jump my go cart quite the same, and usually with very unsatisfactory results. Still that's what parents are for, mum to say "don't " and dad to say "go a little faster next time and it will be fine". I will happily jump a civic, but not the roadrunner!!! |

I've just printed the add for the roadrunner....
I've worked out why it cost me so much, the damage voucher expires 8 days before my birthday. |

Beautiful Road Runner!
Always liked the way Mopar painted the engine compartment the same color as the body. Makes me miss my 69 Mach1. |

I like that car it's much faster than my convertible Farmall A . My friend has a 2006 Mustang with a 1350 HP naturally aspirated , but only good for a 1/4 mile . He's licensed it since he bought it so he can drive for short distances on the street ! Mike

I was thinking about your car a few days back. Nice to see an update! Are the rear springs relocated? It looks like the rear tires are pretty fat? I like the blower! You should have added and intercooler as well(ice cube tray).lol

thanks guys,
the blower was purely put there to cool the beer as I worked in the shed, mega humid this year. as for the ride stance, it has 2 inch lowering blocks in the back and sits nicely, launches great and has done a 12.5 1/4 with way too much wheel spin, like a lot......4 speed not as user friendly as an auto. im running 295/50/15 on the rear but want 315s . as for the exhaust im waiting on the post man for my reproduction original tail pipes in 3 inch then its a new twin exhaust, h pipe and original 40 series flow masters. just finished fitting a new set of door cards from original parts, they look sweet with the old stainless trim. also have a 6 barrel complete manifold to air filter coming in june when all parts are available. that will be about when it goes into the paint shop to be stripped and a full repaint. the longer its in the shop will give me a bit of play time with the RCs which has been lacking recently , by then I guess I will need a new set of rear tyres again... |
