i meant throwing away money trying to make something fast that never will. i bought the 17s for 150 and ill probably do tint myself. its a good running little car. budget im turbobrick on stlsr. ill sell the bov and pipe for $110 i have to say ive never heard one sound better. had a few questions about the civic so i joined here.
first how do you take the head unit out. i read somewhere you have to take the bottom piece under the steering column off and the glove box, i dont see how that helps. i hope its not as much a pain in the ass as changing the 6x9's.

also what tires are you guys running on your 17's, mine have 205/45 the stock ride height looks good with them, how much difference is the 205/40's
the 45's rub in the back if i hit a big dip or a real tight turn, i cant tell whats rubbing cause it looks like there is plenty of room. also the 40's are alot closer to stock tire height.

ive spent thousands of dollars on modding all my cars. im kinda done racing for a while. i want to save my money for better things. maybe someday buy another race car when things are better. ive never owned a reliable car before so i hope this is a first.
i had some kid pull up next to me the other day in an integra, he revs his engine and rolls his window down and says you got anything under the hood, i just laughed. its funny ive had 10 times more people try to race me in the civic than in my buick.

ill post some pics when i get a chance, i think the wheels look good. and its got better paint than any car i have owned. i want to leave the exhaust stock though i hate the way 4 cylinders sound with aftermarket exhaust.

haha ok. I thought it was odd that there just happened to be another t type owner on this board.
That works for me, will that come with the couplings? i still have the thin flimsy one on the TB. you also have a RJC power plate right? aww hell, i'll pm you...

You wouldn't happen to still have your factory tires/wheels would you?
