Deal sealed on the 96 accord?

Should be going the 23rd. I am on vacation all next week or else it would be sooner

Test fitting the rims, may need wheel spacers.

Also removed the lower half of the magical 4-2-1 header. Finally adding a wide band.

Also doing some updates before the fall autocross season.

Do I see orange wheels?

 

[$ub$onic]

Yes, as Eric said. "It will be a pumpkin"

 

[AdorableKaren]

Lol I was just going to ask you if Eric knew his worst nightmare was coming true But I am excited to see

I like those wheels, but your car is always dirty! 'Sup with dat?

Hey, did you get your rear brakes fixed?

 

[Natesriv]

Oh an I had the same fear with my wheels about needing a spacer, I added a 5mm DDM spacer and haven't had any issues. I'm not motor crossing, but no rubbing when I do drive hard

One way to ease your fears, put a jack under the front lower a-arm and jack it up to "level" you'll see the wheel moves further from the strut..

Cons of living on a back road with a dirt driveway.... It's really hard to keep anything clean.

Also, the new brake cable and high flow cat shipped today.

 

[$ub$onic]

Flange on the zzp cat was not right for the 1.8 so I cut the one off the oem and welded it to the zzp

 

[$ub$onic]

New daily!

It will need one soon.

1 owner car, always serviced at Honda dealer. 0 rust. Runs excellent and blows cold a/c. Owner said it had "brake" issues to I took a trailer. (Also why he was selling). Ironically enough it just needed pads lol.

Same engine and trans as my 97 accord.

 

[AdorableKaren]

Your sonic is sad it lost dd status lol

 

[$ub$onic]

It's happy it will not longer get miles put on it so quickly

 

[$ub$onic]

new track tires are on their way

 

[Hulty]

That's what size I run, they look great when parked with the wheels turned out!

 

[Hulty]

I should check my own signature, OK they are CLOSE to what I run....

 

[$ub$onic]

It's the widest tire I can run in my class in autox. These will not see the street, I will keep a set of all seasons on my 15's for road use.

 

[mitdr774]

Run them on the street for at least a week to scuff them up and get rid of all the release agent on the tire.

Also, you had better beat me now.
