I see Sean, Thanks. How much are you looking for those wheels And CF Mani cover? Im real tight on $$$$ right now but want those wheels. I know this is probably a no, but worth a try. Would you be willing to trade for stockies and some cash?? I need to get a job so I can snag these haha. Let me know the deal. Thanks Sean,

hey man, if i was in need of some stockers! id be all over that, unfortunately i have to take $$$$ for the wheels at the moment, as they need to go towards some Mugen GPs and those are waaay expensive.

Anyhow, Id let the wheels/tires/TPMS(dont think YOU need) go for 1200 to you as long as you picked them up. tires only have 5k on them and are the Michelin Pilot EXALTOs.

Id GIVE you the CF cover, and throw in a CUSCO radiator cap and SPOON reservoir socks(2) for free (both brand new! LOL).

Anyhow...thats prolly THEE best offer i can give.

Sean-

Kronos_32 · 06-18-2008, 02:53 PM

Damn thats a killer offer Sean. Right now im kicking myself because I only have $650 saved right now and thats my savings too. it sucks being a college student. Im getting a job here in the next week though so hopefully this will still be available because i will definantly snag em and hold off on the greddy kit probably. I saw these wheels for 200 on tire rack and that alone was ~800. And the michellins are about 500 for tires is that correct? And if i buy them they will definantly be picked up. Also are those the PE2 or A/S Exaltos? thanks Sean,

Well i finally got the lip back from the body shop so i decided i would test fit her on the car while it was slow in the parts dept this saturday....

i was not aware that there are 8 variances of TW!! WTH!?!?

to make this quick, my Mugen lip is about 1-2 shades off as its more of a crisp white versus my softer TW. Anyhow it went right back for a free re-spray and i gave them my old grill to compare so they get it right!!

here are a few iPHONE picTARs from the test fitting....keep in mine its NOT properly mounted and is somewhat hanging/sagging and sitting about 1/2'' lower than it would.

what do ya think!? im still 50/50 about it...but comments are welcomed! good or bad! its all in good fun. ENJOY

Sean

thats all for now...sorry for the crap quality! my DSLR sits at home. why does this lip look better iin person? its weird.

halfNhalf83 · 06-27-2008, 12:26 AM

Well changing gears a bit

, i decided i would order up the FD2/DC5 typeR 5.062 final drive set today! should have it by Monday of next week. Of course i did do my research and read plenty on it! haha so im quite aware of whats expected

well, never really tore apart a tranny, BUT with help from the Honda techs at work, or me helping them (to learn) the final drive WILL be installed Wednesday or Thursday.

should make for some fun times iin the foothills/mtns/autoX/track dayz
