Whats up everyone? 504-457-1048 if anyone want to get a hold of me.

Jet- Try going to a bike shop and find where they get their wheels fixed. One of mine is bent a little. Its not noticable at all, unless you look from the back with the wheel off the car. I'm just going to wait untill I haave to get new tires and then get all done at once. What model civic do you have? Sounds about right. So its being made as we speak?

Wes- When are you coming out to the lakefront with the vic? I can try to find a big meet to go to and meet all of you again. What tires are you getting for the rims?

Yes i am supercharging the tibby! I have it sitting in my room at my house, its a Alipine Supercharger(the only one made for my car as of now). I will be running 4psi of boost, thats what comes with the kit. I should be putting down about 220 to 230 hp to the wheels give or take some. With 4 psi that will roughly be 40 whp. It will be getting done the first week in march when we are out for spring break! here is a link to the site: http://www.alpine-developments.co.za...iburon_2.7.htm

Looks like a cool kit Freddie. I've never heard of them before. Looks like a good setup. Anyone coming to any N.O. parades?

ive heard bad things about nankang...also, i would go 215/40/18 instead of 225. Less chance of rubbing. Ive had 215/40/18(yokohama paradas) for over a year and havnt bent or had a problem with them yet and Ive hit a few nice holes in b.r. and new orleans

I believe you will have a problem rubbing. Of course I've never heard anyone actually having them and rubbing. I guess you could test it if you wanted to. I think you would be better off with 215's. What wrong with nankang? I have nitto neogens and love them.

freddie - the kit looks pretty nice . good luck on the install.

blu - wes , me and two of his friends put the kit on his car . it wasn't that hard at all . the only real reason it took so long was the fact that we had to rig up a few things since sf didn't send all the parts. and we wanted to get every thing just right .

wes - did you ever get the rest of your goodies from mike ?

sam - the 225 tires are gonna be a bit wider . alot higher possibility of rubbing.

i'm going to lafayette this weekend for mardi gras . don't know what we're doing yet though.

I've had 2 sets of 18 inch nankang tires and one set of Nitto's...I have nankang now but Nitto were the best HANDLING and GRIPPING tires I've ever owned. Plus the nitto's are a little thicker (taller) than my nankangs...hey sam I would go with 215/40/18...I've got 215/35/18 (with 1.75 inch drop) but I want 40's though...I don't wanna leave any room...I've had 4 people (all at least 160 lbs.) in my car and I've never experienced any rub with 215/35/18's....hey wes, what all upgrades do you have with your turbo kit? oh and whats a good boost controller to get and where to get it? I need a 2 guage pillar also... what all do you have? U're my ginea pig Seriously all I know how to do it unscrew stuff and check stuff on my car...I'll HELP U GUYS out with the install if ya'll up 2 it.

EDIT: by the way I have an EX...wes what do u have?
