Newbie in NM
Hey just checking in from Abq, New Mexico. I'm driving a 95 Civic EX with the VTec engine, upgraded air intake, exhaust, 2 inch drop, no AC, and a wicked vibration problem on the interstate. Just thought I'd drop in and say hi.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the hubcaps are just painted. Aside from the last 3k miles on the odometer, I can't claim to have done anything to the car. As far as the vibration/pulling issue, I'm going to take her down to the tire place pretty quick to get the alignment and balancing done. Another question I had: I was thinking about going back to a stock exhaust just to get the noise down, but it looks like the entire exhaust system was upgrades instead of just a fart cannon muffler attached. He put a dc sports header on it, and I think it's all dc sports parts all the way back. Am I getting any kind of actual gain from it, or is it just for volume?

Maybe around 5-10 horsepower, but it's not really a noticeable gain. Nice car by the way, with a REAL GOOD detail, I think it would look 100x better. I like the look of the painted hubbies too... It's low key.
