Looks real nice.:super: I always like the way your car sits. How low is it?

What kind of rims are those and what size?


GEt some more pics up too. And put your hood on too I want to see how it looks.:D

They are Mark's rims and there are only 3 good ones!! :) I dont know how low the car is but I am using ground controls about half all around. The rims are 17s and I wont say what they are just in case Mark doesnt want anyone to know.

Yeah, only three good ones now. We cracked one on the way to the meet yesterday, so now I have to figure out what to do with it.

guaynabo89, those are Kaizer K2's. 17x7.5 and it looks as though they're a custom paint job, as I've never been able to find another set like them anywhere.

Mark there are places that would fix them but IMO i would maybe fix that one and sell them. I would be worried about it happening again since it was fixed once before and thankfully it didnt blow out on the way up. I guess im always causious with wheels and tires because i dont want to worry about a blow out at high speeds because of a bad tire or something dumb like that because it is not worth loosing your car or getting hurt.

And Steve as i said before it looks much better with the polished lip. I will send you the pictures i took later.

Yeah Rob, I agree with you on that one. I actually called up Kaizer Wheels yesterday to get the ball rolling and make the claim. They have a lifetime guarantee on the structure of the wheel. I'll have to read the fine-print, but I'm sure that includes replacing the wheel if it's deemed "un-fixable". Let's hope they'll still honor the warrantee even though I'm not the original owner, and it's been repaired once before.

If not, I'll see if they've got one burried away somewhere that I can buy and have painted to match the others.

Yea Rob, I agree about the polished lip. It really grew on me and on the way down the car got so many looks. especially the lady who like my "pipes"

Place Racing Mounts, shift rod, axles and wire harness + sweat, blood, tears, and money = hybrid accord.

Place racing has everything you need.

You know I love your car Steve but I would of been nice if you can post some recent pics of the right side of the car :D

Hey, you know what would look sick in you car? Some leather integra seats like mines. That would make the car looks awsome!


PS: That blue beast in back looks ............... Fast? :huh:

BTW, I had to Call Mike to give me one of my rims back because this one would not work with my lugs!! Also, if I remember correctly you had 3 GS-R rims and 1 17" rim on. Got Pics of that?? :D

And that Blue car is my next secret project. Already has stage 2 weight reduction (rust)

Not to mention the tire on his (maurice's) 17 was flat as a pancake.

you should get a scanning LED bar on the grill and some "turbo boost" to make the car jump 50 feet, haha j/k. i loved that knight rider show when i was a teen. so tell us, do you hum the knight rider theme song when you drive down the streets? hehe. keep up the good work man. awesome sleeper you got there.

I guess steve really got to see what his car looks like with different rims. Too bad my spare didnt work cause its brand new and i will probably never use it (damn lug nuts). I cant wait to re-do my car with new rims and paint along with the B20A.

My tire wasn't flat, it was just low! :flip:


Dude, I'm not ashame to say that I have 1 17" wheel on my car. Shit happens and I can't find another hammerhead. That's the last thing I'm worring about right now, trust me :D


Oh and Mark .......... You have no room to be talking ok! ;)
