I was considering keeping them for when I'm ready to hit the track but I think I'm going to look for something even lighter when that time comes. I basically got these hybrids for free as I got them as a trade for my rsx wheels and cash. Lol
At first they weren't appealing to me but after I shined them all up I actually thought they looked pretty good.
Definitely something DIFF and out of the ordinary

I was wondering about the modifications you had to do to get the si seats to work with the ek brackets?

nathan8210

I wish I could answer this question for you but I only had the wheels on 3 days. From what I researched I believe they are 15 pounds but I couldn't find an accurate response when I was searching.

Si seats already came with the brackets and one part prewelded. I'm going to take it to get re-weld to properly fit on my V

For your bumpers and trim, go to a real paint store and fine the Trim Black paint. SEM brand part number 39143
It works the best, just scuff what you want to paint and go at it.
I painted all the old used trim on my four door 7 years ago and it is just now starting to fade.

Cut my OEM seat bolt brackets and welded them on these beams to raise my seats. I'm 5'8.

How are your Yonaka Coilovers doing? I am considering trading for a CRV, but from my research, coilover options are limited.

nathan8210

No complaints so far. I'm very glad I was able to get them when they were $500 shipped. Demand is high and prices have gone up!



On another note: installed EK Lip cut the sides and the middle

Removed my turbo moroso oil pan today to replace with an OEM pan cuz turbo will have to wait and was very pleased to see crower rods. Pistons are either JE or Wiseco low compression. I wish I knew the details on the motor build but unfortunately I don't and couldn't pass on the deal I got it for. I do know it was $6000 built by Comptech USA.

Exedy 3 puck clutch going in

Pretty sure this build just sold me on getting a V.

Lol u should definetly get one


Test fitting my new mustang cobra wheels 17x9 24 offset. Currently has 245/45/17 but will b installing either 215/50/17 or 215/45/17 not sure yet

daddyyogi

Have you tried 225 50 r 17?

Im still deciding if I should get 215 50 r17 or 225 50 r17. I have a set of dc5r rims in my closet. XD

nathan8210

Yes!
Top pic is 215/50/17
Bottom is 225/50/17

nathan8210

17x8 vs 17x9 same tires on both 215/45/17
Love the stretch and aggressiveness on the cobra wheels

nathan8210

I'm very impressed how the cobra wheels came out. Only issue is no one makes hub centric rings for this size. Custom ones will need to b made. Weight on Acura tl 17x8 roughly 23-24 pounds - weight on cobras 17x9 28-29 pounds on my jacked up scale with no tires.
I think I've finally found some shoes I wanna keep for a bit. Now to hunt for the matching spare.

Looks nice
Now let's see a full on side shot

daddyyogi

Thanks for the pics. So which one looks better? I can't tell from the pic. The 215 50 r17or the 225 50 r17?

thanks in advance!

nathan8210

When it comes to tires size it's all personal opinions and how low your car is and specs on your wheels. At that height I liked 215/50/17 better

Lowering the front end some more later on today but here is a side shot
