I have no rubbing issues with my new wheels which are a +30. Im about to roll the rears anyway so I can tuck tire. I have the fronts rolled already. I like the wheels overall, looks like the lips could use some extra polishing though.

 

Hmmm im thinking its just b/c of the body damage to his car thats causing the rubbing. Or that makes the most sense. And Plethoric what were your new wheels again? I know i saw them somewhere in a thread but cant remember what you got ???

Edit: Nvm dude i checked your Project thread and wowzers you really are tucking the rears hardcore, they look good though I love tucked wheels/tires makes the car look more agressive imo

 

^^ Yea, the wheels need to be cleaned up still. Just too lazy to do it.

Last night I put my horn back on, and it works! woot!

I also switched the wheels around so the front now has 195/55's, and the back has 195/50's. Absolutely zero rubbing now.

If anything, I will be cleaning out the interior of the car tonight, and possibly cleaning up the wheels.

 

Love the rims, Clean em, and shine up the tires lol but They look good, now tuck moaaar



What you gonna do with the phone dials now?

 

Moaar tuckage will happen when I get a free day to be able to adjust the rear camber in addition to the coilovers.

The phone dials will probably be sold. I have them up on CC, CL, and HT right now. Anyone interested in them by chance?

 

 

Sweet. Showing off the body damage.. LOL

 

Haven't updated in like a week since I haven't done anything LOL.

Well, I know now why I have never put anything other than steelies or black wheels on my cars.... I cleaned the **** out of the wheels last weekend, made them shiiine and jump out when in the sun only to have brake dusts deposits sitting on the lips within 36 hours. Damn. LOL

The guy from CL is planning on showing up today to buy my CRX SI wheels. He will be putting them on a Wagovan :word: The money will either go towards snow tires for the upcoming season, or a boost gauge since I feel like the belt may be slipping under WOT; No other way to be able to keep track of it while I am driving.... or I will be boring and pay bills.

Anyways.... plans for today/this weekend since my son is out with the grandparents (woot!)..

- Complete wiring tucking on passenger side....still havent cleaned up the wiring under the battery tray.

- Sell wheels

- Oil change

- Repaint some things that are starting to look like ****

- Re-wrap the center console back to dark gray....the Thomas the Train interior is starting to look like crap with the exception of the headliner... The door panels and center console are getting stained with dirt and sun fading majorly. Kinda sad about it since I really did like the Thomas interior stuff. LOL

- Possibly clean up some rust behind the rear bumper that I noticed getting bad last weekend when cleaning up the wheels.

- Clean up the wheels

- VC cover gasket stuff / Dizzy O-ring replacement on my brother's Civic.

I will make sure to update tomorrow night with some pics of what I accomplished. Off to work!

EDIT: Nike.. Thanks for the sig! I will try to make the time tonight or tomorrow to upload it to my PB and add it as my sig.

 

I can fix the body damage, I cant paint it silver lol but I can pull that dent in the rear :P

 

Went outside on Saturday and saw the the driver fender was starting to rust. O wow..

Spent a big portion of Saturday doing that in addition to battling the rust behind the driver wheel well. Looking much better now. Also, the CRX wheels were sold. I ended up replacing the VC gasket/grommets/spark plug tube seals on my g/f's Cavalier last weekend, too. Boy, was that fun.

Only thing done this week was me re-positioning the S/c belt. It was riding the lip of the pulley and started to rub against the frame rail.

Found out that next week I will be installing an oil cooler and oil temp gauge on the car for work. We are designing a thermostatic oil cooler sandwich plate, so I will be mounting the oil cooler this weekend, the gauge on Monday night, and testing on Tuesday. Sweet!

Anyone have an idea where to mount the cooler? I have a choice of a 1 1/2" thick 10 row, or a 1" thick 13 row. I am thinking of going with the 10 row since I doubt anything more would be needed.
