Okay, so just moved this thread because I'm too lazy to start a new project thread... quick update for the new wheels from an 08 Civic. Little clean (with my wheels for the deck): and in the process of fitting. need to get some finished shots, but they look so much better than the originals..
-
oooo... didn't notice the satnav - nice
-
Moving in the right direction now bud
-
I've always (twice....) done mine when they've been off. Probably wouldn't be too bad though with them not being too spoky or fiddly.
-
looks very tidy like the new rims as well
-
Can recommend x-car link for adding ipod & blue tooth connectivity to the head unit that you can control from the steering wheel still, and keep the 6 disk head unit
-
Really recommend rim wax for the job

Nice one We've got a 2.0 vtec exec and it's a nice car... Just realised how good the chassis is by putting some 17s on it this weekend (big heavy oem ones of an 08 civic).
-
Looks super smart
-
Yes, this

I know I think that I've given the "all season" badge a good test this year, but wheelspinning changing into 3rd on a damp slip road made me pull me finger out!

Finally got around to deciding what to do for wheels for karen's tourer, and got some 17s off a 8th gen civic off eBay for summer wheels, which has unlocked me being able to get some tyres for mine... Cue cleaning my wheels and the new ones ready for getting tyres sorted and fitting... No more winter tyres - yey!

Most b series gear ratios here http://www.ff-squad.com/tech/temp/Bgears.htm And s9 ratios here http://cars.homenetcs.co.uk/honda-civic-mb6/modifications-gearbox.htm
-
Whoa, when did all that happen... Engine bay looks fantastic
-
That's poo... Wonder if it's too stop people buying parts cheaper and by passing hondas parts suppliers
-
Are you sure bud? Uk is still an option in the drop down list for placing an order?
-
It would really. It's just S80s don't seem to go for much less than 600 on eBay (or at least didn't at the time), and I'm sure i remember @weetec saying that the rest of the ratios were also a killer in fuel consumption? Better acceleration though The ls 5th gear swap is something that is done on the tegs in the states.
-
Which one is that, autodynamics for the fd kit, or Acura parts online?
-
Generally 5th is fine - pretty much the same as before to be honest. The main thing I've noticed is i can do 60 at a touch under 3k, where before it was around 56 at 3k.
-
Out of interest, I've worked out that I'd need to change up from 4th at pretty much 110, and the effective ratio with the longer 5th and fd I've got is only a few rpms lower than the s9b 5th is. So you can get an idea of the rev drop.
-
I've just received 2 rears from here, i emailed them 3 times just to make sure that the price already included the surcharge. They've got pretty solid feedback as well, so thought at that price is worth a punt (especially since I've already had to change callipers twice).

Build a bridge out of it!

IT's great to watch
