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.

Sweet!
did you paint the stock hub caps?

Painted hubbies FTW! :)

welcome to HCF. need better pics of the civic.lol

the vibration problem could be cause by unbalance wheels. try getting the wheels balanced

neo1piv14 07-06-2009 07:09 AM

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.
