bigger rims don't always mean rice, look at me i had 13in stock wheels and now i have 15in (but no tires yet) i will get a hell of a lot more traction and turning abilities, which i need becasue i went from 70hp to 180hp.

 

What if you have civic cx with a b18c1. Should you use the stock 13" rims or go ricey with some 17" Volk Gram lights?

 

go rice!

 

Hope you werent referring to me in that post. I tried my best to not pick out anyone specific, and even admitted in the past that I myself used to own a big wing and indiglo gauges.

To add, one thing I do hate is those people who say "all show" etc, and yet their car looks like such ass, and its obvious that there is no way in hell they'd ever really win a show. God I had some people like that back home, hated them.

Hey Josh, how much of an increase did those mugen socks add?

 

The "you" is more of an all encompassing (sp?) "you" for people who point fingers @ others who have appearance mods.

 

Hey now Chris, lets not get JDM confused with rice, everyone knows if its JDM it WILL add power now matter what it is......

 

I dont mean to get off topic but did you ever find out whats was wrong with your B18C? Me and my friend were looking around on the net and found out that they did make auto B18C's in Japan ( I never knew this) and they have smaller cam lobes, this might be why Vtec dont hit as hard as is should but the motor runs fine, auto motor w/ 5 speed tranny. Just a thought.....

 

i believe the fly wheel will be different if its auto. I am 99% sure the problem is the intake mani secondary. I checked with my brothers GSR and the solenoid moves when you start the car and mines does not. Anyway i will be getting the Victor X intake mani hopefully for christmas and that will solve the problem while adding a little hp

 

The R in Type R stands for Really fast...

I have an SE-R which stands for Super Extra - Really fast

And theres nothing wrong with doing plain dress up mods to a car if it doesn't cost all that much and looks nice. By that I mean things like Clear corners, painted calipers, painted wheels etc.

I'm painting my wheels and calipers just because I'm sick of my calipers being stained green from wheel cleaner.

And my JDM shift boot gave me at least 20 more pounds of torque at the wheels...

 

"The R in Type R stands for Really fast..."

Hell yeah, thats why i bought mine! And the clear corners and painted calipers are nice and all, but save the 10 bucks for a case of beer, who gives a hell if u have green calipers project mu calipers are green
