As soon as I get rid of one of my dirtbikes (2003 Kx125 in Seattle area if anyone's looking ) I'm going to be dropping the car off to get the front repainted and freshened up, may add a couple body pieces but havent really decided yet, thanks for all the kind words guys!

I mean, seriously, the most import stuff I see is a civic with altezza's and a fartbox muffler(that may be a blessing in disguise). Honestly there aren't even many of those believe it or not. Anyways, thanks guys...It gets kind of boring when there is no one else around with modded cars you know?



I would love to do sides, but right now the $$$ is my limiting factor (Any sponsors out there? ). My next thing is getting my fenders, bumper, lip, grill, hood and mirrors painted. Just want to freshen things up as the body of the car has 138k on it.


Ifthis is the case I am proud of you for Not hooking your car up the other way around ... It has Nice taste ! I would definatly rock it

keep up the great work

Thanks guys! I'm actually moving up to Seattle for the summer so maybe I can make some meets, lol.

As far as wheels go they are 20" Iforged Trials, polished lip, black face, black barrel. Iforged doesnt give out their offset details. The wheels are $$$ but they are worth it if you are looking to purchase a high-end wheel. I have no regrets.

As far as rubbing I don't have any rubbing issues but I also have my fenders flared out pretty far. If you wanted to run coilovers and drop the car alot I would recommend getting your fenders rolled or you may run into problems, especially if you dont get a wheel with a good offset for a large drop.

I am running Tein CSv2 coilovers, no rubbing but read my post above about that and it will give you an idea of what needs to be done if you want to slam your car without rubbing.
