You dont read English ? My Fault
I read english. Can you write it legibly in english for me? Go back and read that clusterfuck of words you put together and try to make heads or tails of it.
To the guy above you, what do you mean: "as nice as I think it is"? Did I make it out to be something it's not? I personally think it's a good interpretation of what Honda should've offered. You don't have to agree with me.
I didn't take engine pics b/c my batteries died and I was waiting for the end of the day. The batteries never made it. It's B116A that's turbo'd. There's alot that you can't see from the pics. Nice black Recaros (I'm sure you'll refer to them a JDM Rice or bling). Claan gauge setup. blah blah, you'd have to see the work he put into it and see the car when he bought (it was a rice bucket POS) to really appreciate it.
I like an oem em1 just the way it came..4 lug..si rims..etc..my only complaint would be in the under the hood dept..
5 lug is nice and all but an extra lug on each wheel does not make a car prettier by any means..It doesn't help that there are 2786328937873 people with that exact setup down tot he color of the rims..
btw i def agree on the ctr mirrors spoon brakes and the other goodies..if JDM is rice then im a RICER!!!
Maybe im just bummed out since i thought this woudl be a thread about ur em1 which looks better IMO even with 17's

sick!!!
i don't mean to be a d**k
and if in ANYway this offeneds lmk i will replace this post with an apology
but imo
gun metal 5 lug is better then white on ebp. but f**k 5 lug still makes anything look good
my boy's SI
obviously from the couple mods i can see ur picking up good quality parts
but a simple drop is good but not always best. when u rape up or down a mountain a more agressive drop is needed. lower stance = lower center of gravity which means less roll over probability, not that ur gonna roll over but u will handle much better
and whats the purpose of extended studs in the back?
car is f**ken dope tho. i love it. i love SI's and most of all i love simple cars. i give ur s**t a big

LOL, I've whored my car enough on here. But that's a great compliment b/c I like this car alot and I feel it has alot over mine @ this point.
Well it would look awkward having only the fronts b/c then you would have mismatched lugnuts.chinkyeyedemcee said:
BTW: GM looks dope too but personally I think the white sets off the EBP better.
so aesthetics basicaly?
i just think they look funny in the back. and u can get short open ended lugs and they wouldn't be all mis matched cause they would fit in on short and long studs

:shrug: I think we're splitting hairs here don't you think? It doesn't bother me personally
You're contradicting yourself by using the "aesthetic" argument b/c the extended studs aren't hindering any type of performance or useability and you simply don't seem to like it for aesthetic reasons.
no not at all...
the aesthetic was not an argument it was a question. the, "basically" on the end probly made it seem like sarcasm which was not my intent. i apologize if it came off like that.
i never said that the extended studs on the back messed with the performance, but it neither enhances the performance so that's y i was i was asking if u did it for aesthetic reasons.
i think the car looks great!
i never meant to turn this into an argument, that y i said that i would take my posts down if it offended anyone in any way.
i was just asking
