Still looking for some feedback... short shifter said it was gonna be here today so I'm counting on tomorrow for sure and then ill install. I post before and after pics, I'm also excited cause I'm going to snug up the boot to the new knob so I'm optimistic.

My buddy with the si hatch want to sell me those wheels in the pictures foor 100 and I'm gonna check em out on the car tomorrow as well so ill post some pics of that too. I just feel like I wanna go with 16s instead of 15s and 7 wide instead of 6 So well see.

Commentary please!

i cant imagine 3 15s, those things look pretty though or, looked anyway haha, sucks about the box not fitting though. and ground controls are the way to go!!

Installed an Ebay short shifter last night. Drove it around a little bit and I'm really impressed. The gearbox almost feels like an 8th gen SI... pics soon.

Looks good man!! I got the same shift knob :]



And did you ever decide on wheels? I have 15" Rota Circuit 8's on mine. They look similar to the style you like.

Yeah it's neat and all but the shifter is kinda rattling? I thought it was possibly because some of the bolts were loose so I got under it again last night and checked them all and theyre all as snug as can be... when I pull up directly on the shift it has play vertically but not horizontally and it only rattles when in a gear. It doesnt do it if its in neutral and I rev the engine... anyone know whats going on?

Another update. Lowering on Monday on some ground controls :D thinking about doing fogs, side markers, and splash guards.

Once again it's been a billion years since I've posted on here... I feel like my thread is the most boring thread on here but I'm broke and working on paying the car off as well while trying to do stuff so it's slow... Good news is I only have 3 more months of payments left! :D then I hope the build really kicks in. I never lowered it because the used GC's I was gonna buy were sketchy and there were only 2 in the set with matrix coils as the rears so I passed... I'm going to save up for a set of nice coilovers like GC's/koni or teins or something because my front shocks are pretty bad anyway... I still don't have wheels but I'm pretty sure I wanna go with circuit 8's or 10's.

Once I have wheels I wanna do a rear disc conversion just for the prettiness. I'm on the fence about fogs now and I might do clear sidemarkers because my friend has a set lieing around... I was after a set of splash guards but I thought they were pretty overpriced so right now I'm just waiting and saving as always...

I still love Hondas! I promise, I'm still on here all of the time haha
