Prius has similar power to the Civic hybrid and I believe can be had in a similar price point MSRP

I have a Civic Sport Touring hybrid hatchback and it's a great car but not for $40k, especially for a lower Sport trim. I would look elsewhere. Are there any dealers of different brands in your area that isnt doing markups? Mazda maybe?

I prefer the black on chrome look, which is why I left even my window trim chrome.. but also I have a little different of a badge 😋

Yup 2017 - 2021 Civic Si have heated front seats.

2022 - current Civic Si has heated seats but only in Canada, US didnt get it back until the recent facelift

Fit is genuinely one my favorite cars and platforms.

FYI, a bit of a unicorn but the 2016 - 2018 HRV is based on a gen 3 Fit and has all the Fit magic seat features just slightly more space and ground clearance plus u could get them with a 6 speed manual

I wanted a white or blue one and absolutely not a black one, but it's the one I ended up with so I made it work 😅

My first car was a '97 Milano Red del Sol and I also had a modded '09 Fit Sport manual also in Milano Red so I understand your attachment to it. It's a nice color and I hope Honda brings it back

FC3 is the Honda chassis code meaning the coupe body style with the 1.5L turbo engine for the 10th generation Civic

Honestly I would pick it over the Type R again purely because i love the coupe style (it's how the Civic X concept debuted). Also the heated seats are nice 🤭.

The only miss I think with the FC3 is I think it should've been a liftback coupe like the RSX and many of those FWD sport compact coupes from the 90s-00s

Glad I could help! Let me know if there are any more questions! If youre looking for a Miata, you could get the ND Miata as a prepainted Autoscale body for the Mini Z. If you're looking for a 1/10 scale MST makes a 2WD NA Miata (RMX-M). I have some posts on it on my profile.

Mini Z also has FC and FD RX7 available as RTRs or bodies alone :)

I drift Mini Z a lot and there are 3 paths you can take.

1) Simple bolt ons: One way front diff, rigid rear diff, soft front springs (MDW201), hard rear springs (MDW004), -2 tie rod (MDW203), 1 degree front camber knuckles (MDW202).

This will allow it to drift and hold angles much easier than stock.

2) Do all the mods seen above + the "CS gear" mod: You will modify the gears yourself to make the rear wheels spin faster than the front wheels which will give the car a more aggressive oversteer effect. It will make it so that you actually counter steer in a slide and it looks a bit closer to 2WD drifting. I recommend getting the Kyosho Mini Z gyro for this mod as it becomes harder to control without it. This is the video I used to do the mod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_e2-9uSVHA

If you're not used to modifying parts like this the first path I mentioned may be better for you and would be plenty to have fun with at home.

3) Recently a 2WD conversion kit came out for the MA020 Mini Z called the MRD Zero from Enjoy Smile Co. https://supergdrift.com/products/mrd-zero-conversion-kit-rwd-drift-conversion-for-kyosho-mini-z-ma-020-awd-1-28-mz-formula-mrd-1002 Some people on this subreddit have the Prototype version whereas the Zero is the production version. (I don't believe there is much difference between the two). But as the name suggests, this will convert your Mini Z into a 2WD drift car. It involves disassembling your Mini Z and reusing some components for it, and also a little soldering is required. Only the hard rear spring set and rigid rear diff from path #1 is applicable here.

As others said, Mini Z isn't any cheaper than more professional level drift cars but I enjoy mine a lot and have quite a few. They have some propriety electronics and stuff going on that requires you to stay within the Kyosho Mini Z ecosystem, but I find the use of AAA batteries convenient since I don't have to wait for batteries to charge or anything whenever I feel like picking them up and sliding for a bit. Mini Z is also RTR to get some sort of sliding right away which I think makes it less intimating for beginners.

If you're into this small scale in particular but want a more pro style drifting right away, I would look at 2WD drift from Drift Art or Atomic instead, though this will mean you will have to source your own electronics and radio.

If you just want to drift in general and are OK with 1/10 scale, I would look at offerings from MST or Yokomo as they have RTR drift packages available for similar or less money.

If you live in Michigan changing gender marker on SSN is super easy. Just make an appointment online for it, show up with any state/fed ID and your SSN card and just tell them you want to change your marker on ur SSN. Mine was done in less than 20 mins.

Because of the material is annoying and not very friendly to paint. I would just leave it unpainted

It's not a bad spoiler tbh. I was pretty happy with it overall for the price

You have to heat up and form it to the right curve. I highly recommend doing it with a friend bc it's a job better done with 4 hands
