run a search for "rota wheels" on ebay and check out the circuit 8s or circuit 10s. they are light as hell, and also the gold or bronze models would look the s**t on your car since it's white. also they are very reasonably priced. i am gonna be mobbin the circuit 10s in gold come spring. btw, my civic is also white.

pop a dent works wonders.....I ran a 16.8 with intake/exhaust on really really bad tires...only time I ran it. It was on a g-tec...so I dunno how accurate I was. I had a bad launch and I was low on gas =) We are going to the track tonight...and I am gonna run my car for shits and giggles <---(not a drag racer) See how I do =)

peace ya'll

Another engine swap to consider is the ZC (1.6 DOHC non vtec 137hp) - I think in the US you can get one from a 92 Integra Si or GSR and they should bolt in with no probs, they are good engines and are quite cheap compared to a B series... btw, third gear has plenty of power and is probably my fav gear in terms of acceleration ( except up steep hills at low rpm :roll: )

Never thought of the ZC....it comes in 1st gen integras? I was almost looking into yanking one from a 30,000 mile 1st gen teg.
 
First off weed rocks :shock: ...second, it cant be that bad if i smoked since i was 11 and managed to graduate high school when i was 16 with a 3.2 gpa. :shock:
But check this vx, i went to discount tire down the road from my house and got a set of maxxim wheels (i think its owned by konig) they are 15"s and only weigh 14 lbs (not superlight, but i had a eagle alloys that look like vx's, only 14"s, and those weighed more than 20lbs a piece. I think i picked up those wheels for like 80 bucks a piece, they are the oxygene model now im looking, and boy did it make a difference in acceleration and overall feel (the car had oversized tires on the wheels when i bought it too) but regardless, it really makes a difference in how fast the car feels taking off, the less mass those axles have to turn the better off you are. Ill see if i can get pics 2morrow.
