      Im going to assume you had the 17s laying around. 15-16" wheels are perfect for these cars IMO. 17s work when done right, but it doesnt sound like yours are the ones.

      if you're looking for insight, think about what most of the honda guys did to their cars and chances are we do things the complete opposite. most of us anyways.

        Haha no no no. You guys got the wrong impression. I stilldo like Honda's, but not like these ricer kids like them. I like clean. Close to stock. The 17's were lying around. The car is parked and isn't going to be seen driving with the 17's. Theyre hideous. 16's is what I'm shooting for. I just had to sell the weaves to get what I want. Had a baby 2 weeks ago. All you fathers know our car budget goes down the drain at that point. I'm still in school and work as a CNA so to get what I want, I gotta hussle on craigslist or work lots of overtime. It killed me to see the weaves go but it was a must :(.

            . Got to take a look at her today. You'll never guess what that dumb problem was lol. Got her started, she runs decent. Needs a tuneup. Changed the oil, changed the fuel filter (the gas coming out of the out port was nasty dark) , and changed whatever hoses i can get to without taking the intake mani off. Air filter was nasty and was a K&N, i hate K&N filters so got a WIX paper filter. Intake boot was ripped and had a good amount of gunk in it. Cleaned out the MAF and whatever gunk out of the intake. now either need spacers to roll the nasty wheels or a find a new set all together. Anyone got wheels to sell? Ill throw my sick JDM black ones on top of cash hehe :)













            WHERES A GOOD PLACE TO 4x4 THIS BAD BOY? haha

                You can pick up a set of bottlecaps cheap. Sell those to some silly FWD

                  AGREED! I was so stoked when i bought the car. Needs a new climate control cover and clock. I out an Kenwood deck in that sounds baller.

                  I don't really want the bottlecaps. Ill sell these tto some ricer and get some aftermarket clean wheels. Well see what I come up with

                    Holy donk status. Needs a cut and polish desperately. Luckily, red cleans up rather nicely.

                    Looks like a nice start, though! Some proper wheels, an iS lip and a drop and you are set!

                      You like? Bro. The rims are JDM. Don't hate :) I'm in the market for coils, lip and will cut and polish or repaint when it rolls. I live in apartments. I hate it. Were not allowed to work on our cars

                        That car will look great after a good cut and polish. I've seen 3 other brilliantrot cars in similar condition come back to life.
