New Ride

[Liz]

Well I got me my new car. Its a civic, the cool thing was I got it so cheap I have a couple thousand left of mods on being a swap. I am going to wait just a bit and put alittle wear on the current engine. First thing coming are tint, drop, and rims. So I know it needs to be done trust me...

Its already had an AEM short ram, high flow cat, and new stage 2 clutch. The paint job is less than a month old which is pretty nice.

Let me know what rims you think would look good. I am already set on 15" I think 17s look bad on the year after looking around and some...

get some 15s or 16s

what swap are you doin

 

[Liz]

B18 probably... I am going to talk to someone at a local shop here and see what would be best. Maybe even a B16 I am not looking some something super huge. I am thinking of turbo later down the road. So keeping that in mind I want to talk to someone about long term.

What do you think color wise for the rims??

 

[Andrey]

looking nice and clean
may be something with polished lip?! sorry I can't remember all the names of the rims...

 

[LatinEM2]

go with bronze rims...

 

[Liz]

Yeah I was wanting bronze.... I just was not sure how it would look with teal..

 

[stealthy]

you said b18, so ls or gsr?if you are gonna turbo later, and you are deciding between ls and b16, i say ls.if its between gsr and b16 i say gsr.

 

[Liz]

Right now I would go with GSR, but I need to learn more about the LS before I could say anything more firm.

 

[stealthy]

if your gonna stay n/a go gsr, if your gonna boost later, go ls.itll cost about the same in the end for a ls-t and a gsr

 

[Liz]

Thanks for the info...

Thanks I will keep that in mind for sure. As far as white goes the only reason i dont want them is cuz there a pain to keep clean. I had some ADRs on my SI, I ended up painting them a gunmetel color.

hey Liz, i can get you whole front clip off 99 or 00 SI with low mileage for $2700 + shipping

so you'll get the whole front clip, headlights, hood, etc etc and trunk lid too ..lol axels shocks all.. if you just want the motor and tranny i can lower you the price =]

 

[Liz]

Let me think about it. I was not planning on swap so soon. I would probably go with just the motor and tranny and local pick up if that would be cool. Unless you have the hook up some where else. What would that run me.

Thank I have been pretty pleased with it. I drove it to college station on Monday and it did great for the whole three hours.

I have thought about black rims as well. But... Are that hard to take care of?
