Yes, that's an Accord emblem in my grill. I took the idea from someone here.

You guys were thinking the same thing I was! lol
I think it's about an inch lower or 1.5". I'd be fine with 1.5-2".
looks mint man
Won't be going this far, but cool to see.

Thanks, but the camera makes it look good. I put it in a ditch last year, so the passenger side fender... Right side, I mean... Needs to be replace, there are 2 dents on the the... Left side, and the hood needs to be fixed, plus the carpet is nasty, but other than that, it's quite nice! I'm hoping to get all the dents out and re-paint it darker.Quote:

If you want a subtle drop, I'd go H&R tokico combo with the front pinch fork mod to even the drop out.
I need to replace all the bushing in the rear, but I don't know where I can get new ones...
I would like to get a lowering kit, but for around $80(prelude upper arms for camber) I can lower it, 0 my camber, and not hurt my struts (hopefully)... It really needs to be done, though.
yeah i can see flaws in your paint to but uim sure you will fix her up one day
Si Fat-Fives, correct?
I think 94-95 Teg GSR wheels. I'll look it up.
Yep. 94-95 Teg GSR wheels.
Looks like they are pretty rare, too!
I think the car was painted while it was getting de-badged. They didn't do a very good just on the clear, though.
Are they the same as Si Fat-Fives? I want a pair, but my blades are too rare to give up.
^^ No, these fat fives only came on integras. Many people run them on Si's, but they are not from Si civics.
nope not stock and nether one even a si as the SI civic in 96-98 was a hatch lol ^ (edit lol even the centers say acura)
and looks good bassman! should get some satin black paint and re do the bumpers and trim !
I say, find a OK bodyshop that will respray your car for cheap, strip it down off all trim and stuff, find a flat wood brick and go loose on your car with 800 grind sand paper, to see where all low spots, fill those out with bando and replace your damaged side.. and respray it Black, tint windows and find JDM/EDM type tails, and youre sett..
Not stock. Fat Fives (lately they've been called Hammers) only came on Teg GSR's. Tegs also came with Meshies (sometimes called LS Mesh wheels). Si's ONLY came with these wheels. These wheels were also used on the Civic EX's from factory:Quote:

Bass, I love that damn color on the 3G. Looks very nice. As mentioned already, a new repaint (maybe even just a re-clear) will make it look so nice. Slight drop too and you're golden. What color is your interior? ...or better yet, do you know the original color of your car?
I don't think there was an Si from 96-98...Quote:

Also get some camber kits if not, youll pay more moneys for tires then anything else.
you might be right lol all i know is that the SI coupe was only 99-00 2006-present lolQuote:

I got about 100 extra pounds in the rear from my subs and box, so it already sits lower in the rear.
Someone I know with a 97 Turbo D16 told me I should look at an alternative way to lower it than cutting a link or so off, but I don't want my passenger front taller than everything else, cuz I hear the drivers side leans and the rear lowers more...
I think it was Silver originally and it's got gray interior.
if the interior is grey it was probably that charcoal grey color
I like the color as well, but I think I would need to find the exact paint and have a couple spots re-done as well.
Can you elaborate on why that is at all? My whole driver side is about a quarter-inch lower than the passenger. That's been bugging the shit out of me since I lowered it. I'm honestly prepared to pay for adjustable coilovers just to get rid of that lean.Quote:

I would prefer that (or better, a front-to-back lean) than the corner lean on my coupe.Quote:

go cheap till you can afford 4 new tires then get toyo proxes 4's
and some fn ebay coil overs lol just get that bitch low
Who's got some coilovers for sale?? lol Anyone here?
I got a Les Schwab account, but I got some tires to pay off, then I can get some nice tires.
Now I really want Fat-Fives. I was planning on eventually getting them, but now I really want them.
Wanna buy mine? $250. lol
How good are the tires? Are they curbed at all? I hate having rare rims. It always makes me want to keep them. Plus, I'm trying to get an SE-i, those of which have rare rims, too.
They are older tires, and 1 of the Federals was seperated (probably before I bought it) so I need to buy 1 tire to make it fine. The rest are around 60%.
The wheels are curb-free, but they need a good cleaning to get the tree sap off them.
I also got some 16" AMP wheels that I would just about give away cuz the tires are bad and I don't want to try to find lug nuts for them.
damn! i wish u were local!Quote:

VERY freaking skinny... I had to cut up a 12-point 15mm socket to get the front 2 off and I lost the socket, so the 2 on the back are still on... lol. The guy only had 1 lug per wheel................
How far down is Tehachapi?
It's just below Bakersfield....Quote:

Best pic I got of them. The tires are bad in the back and my dad wants the front ones. The reason the back ones are bad is because they rubbed on something while going down the road, so if anyone gets these, they may need to be spaced. 1 or a couple (don't remember, I didn't really look) have curb rash, but not real bad.
i so wish i had the cash to head up there and get them lol
So what's wrong with that DX? It looks very clean from that pic. ...any chance you want to part some things off it? (sorry for the partial thread-jack)Quote:

I was cruising in 5th gear at about 1.9k and pushed it WOT, and it picked up really well. When I got this car, it would hardly pull itself down a hill in 5th gear.
The thing is, I don't know if it's the bowl draining faster than my fuel pump will fill it, or the float is set way too low, but right at 5.8k, it starts to sputter out like it's running out of gas... Crap....
I'm glad I'm typing out loud, cuz that really sounds like a timing issue.
I'm getting excited I'm getting a cam tomorrow with less than 75 miles on it. I guess the guy had so much boost, he cracked his head in half and the head is in a couple peices right now.
You should buy his turbo manifold too. :D
$300 for the whole setup minus the Hondata. I really want turbo, but I got laid-off yesterday and I want to save my money for gears for my Sidekick.
haha, I just got in touch with Dave last night via e-mail too. ...so you're the guy snagging the 272. I really want the turbo setup from him too. ...and his tranny. ...just imagine a boosted, dual DCOE, MegaJolted setup.Quote:

I hope I don't need to tweek the carb... The jets I would need are as much as the cam is!! I was interested in the tranny until I heard how much the LSD was that was in it! I can go without a $500 slipper.
