I know this probably won't help, but my bro has just the tire that he'll sell.

Btw, why do you need just one stock rim and tire? I thought you had the A-Spec rims?

Oh, and you might want to talk to the guy that got his rims powdercoated in this thread:

http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=149896

He bought another set of stock rims so that he could send his rims to get powdercoated. And now that he got his old rims back he trying to sell the stock rims that he bought. Not sure if he'll part with just one rim w/ tire though.

The A-Spec, UNFORTUNATELY belongs to someone else in my family :: Damnit :: I've got the base model... Really doesn't compare to the S though...

Anyways, I'm looking for just one with tire to use as a spare instead of my emergency one....

BTW, have you done anything else to your car?? I know last time I heard you removed the rear wiper.

Any plans for a kit??

BTW Azure... Was it hard blacking out your headlights or did you buy them?

Only thing I've got in plans for my car is a tint... Otherwise JDM front side and OEM rear lip kit will be within my grasp in a year...

No stereo system upgrade yet, though I still have all my stereo equip. from the Vic.

I haven't done much else to my car. All I have is 35% tint, rear wiper shaved... and I bought the JDM headlights (authentic).

Let's see... my springs just came in. I ordered the Tein High Tech springs from AutoCarPats.com. The drop is 1.1" front and 0.8" rear. I know it's not much, but to be honest, I'm actually fine with the way it looks stock... so the most I would go is 1 inch.

My future plans are (within a few months):

- Mugen replica front and rear strut tower bars
- Injen SRI (I would keep the stock air box, but it would vibrate against the tower bar)

That'll probably be it for long time... probably until after my warranty is up. I'm not exactly in a rush .

^^ Yep, taking my time with this car. I want the kit within next year, but will most likely keep it stock for 2 years until the prices go down. Otherwise, tint and jdm housing heads are it for now...

Where'd you get the heads from? Was it difficult taking out the front bumper?

I got them from ImprovMotorsports.com. They're no longer in business anymore though. Too bad, because they were a great company. I got my parts real cheap there. Taking off the front bumper wasn't that bad at all. It's pretty much the same as the 7thgen Civics.

Haha, I should've just checked out your "My Ride" section. I know what you mean about the swirl marks. It shows up pretty good on my Arctic Blue.

Any performance mods in your plans?

If you plan to sell your mudguards, let me know...I would be willing to buy them (use 'em mainly for rainy season here in central cali). Shipping would probably be a b!tch to ship from Hawaii.

Performance mods..... Most likely an intake... But 4 years of warranty is more important to me right now than an extra 5-10 hp...

It will mostly be cosmetics for the next four years....

Give me your price with shipping to 93955...
I know acuracarland sells the fronts for like $26 and the rears for $21??? Can't exactly remember the exact cost...

Just let me know how much you will let 'em go for when you get the chance.

Thanks, Michael

I'll sell it to you for $18... and I'll find out the shipping tonight and get back to you as soon as I can. I need to go for now, but I'll post the shipping cost as soon as I get back.

Laters,
Chris

Btw, you're going to need six self-tapping screws and four spring nuts. Pictures of them are in this mudguard installation instruction for the RSX: http://performance.clubrsx.com/instr...lashguards.pdf

You can ask your local dealer for them. They usually don't charge for that (they shouldn't) since they always have a few lying around.

I was looking around my room and found the four spring nuts you need. I'll include them in the package with the mudguards. So all you need is the 6 self-tapping screws.
