Default RE: new guy,1st car

yeah bro,thats what i was thinking too,17's are a lil big=ride gets a lil bumpier,my dad's a mechanic,close to 14 or 15 years at firestone,and he pretty much tells me whats good and whats not,i wanted to lower it,he said to put bigger wheels to fill up the gap,cause thats pretty much what maked civics look sporty,when the gap's filled with a 15/16/17 wheel size?thats just what i think though lol.but then again,i like the wheels it has right now?lol i dont know why..they're 14's but i like them?lol..

thanks about the taillights bro,for sure....cali's weird on these type of things,thats why im not sure yet if i wanna really do big mods to it,cause it'll be kind of pointless if i won't be able to use them,u know?...

it has 134150(to be exact at the moment lol),yeah,timing belt's been done,just replaced the pads like 2 weeks ago,my dad took the rear disk's to firestone,to umm,i forgot the name,when they grind them up,know what i mean?lol...all of the cars in this house are well maintained!lol,and all japanese,no bulky/gas hogging american cars lol,no effense to any1...

i was thinking on sticking with my ride and not swapping the tranny,cause you get tired with the cali traffic,shifting and what not...so i kinda just wanna leave it auto,but then again i'd like a stick,so i can just mess around once in a while,u know?...i'll stick with how it is,and make it look nice,thats all i want lol,make it looks nice and not do big mods...thanks

well with the tire size filling up the gap... that would work easily in the rear BUT with the front that would throw off your speedo..... and could very easily have rubbing issues...

I'm not sure about all that but I wanted to make something clear...

Yes, you have VTEC, but you have SOHC VTEC, not DOHC VTEC. Basically, it's like having one ******** instead of two.

Car looks great man, thanks for changing those ugly *** tails out. Can't wait to see what you do next, I'm sure somebody will have an answer for you about that deal real soon.
