Some Recent Pics of my ride...
I just got a new digicam, so I took some pics of my car... but it was pretty dirty cuz I went to the canyons during the week and there are a lot of bug deaths on my front... here's some before pics so you can compare...
BEFORE:
Sold the white wheels... here is a pic before I sold them... Now rollin on HX alloys that came with my car...
AFTER:
Front view
Rear view
Hood open
RVM Crank Pulley
Dirty Interior, worn R1 Heel Plate and silver / cf pedals, Custom DIY short shifter w/ capyoda bushings, CTR style ****, Sony Xplod HU..etc
Future mods:
-03 Civic SI 16 inch Alloys (my cousin is giving them to me)
-Install the RSX Rear Sway Bar thats sitting in my room
-OEM side skirts (ordered from hondawerx, they said they will be shipped June 2nd and be here 5 biz days after)
-04 Coupe Rear? Cuz my rear bumper had a lot of damage on it... and I don't think the apexi N1 will fit with any lips...
Any comments/suggestions welcome...

And I want to do some engine mods... I don't want to get a header cuz I want to turbo my car... then after turbo, get a lighter flywheel, and better clutch... but thats far into the future... so for starters... I'm going to make a DIY ground wire kit

why would you sell a nice pair of rims and take a stock set over them?? if i was you i would have just powdecoated those white ones to flat black and that would have looked hot. but that is just me.

BTW, I like how your first shot has the gas station prices in the background. Hee hee, a picture is worth a thousand words, ... or dollars...

1. they had major curbage (covered by white touch up paint)
2. I recently started going to the track... they were way too heavy, like 30+ lbs each with tires on... 14 inch hx wheels are like 15lbs each with tires...
3. when i had the new tires put on the white wheels, they bent the rims when taking off the old tires... so around 70+ the steering wheel shaked even though the wheels were balanced and car was aligned...
4. i'm painting the hx wheels a graphite (a.k.a. gunmetal) color which will look hot too..
5. powdercoating costs a lot, i'm just going to use that money to buy a good set of 195/60/14 tires to replace the firestones...
6. i want to turbo my car, the heavy wheels would have slowed me down a lot...
