Since I hadn't driven my car in over a month.....

Since I hadn't driven my car in over a month.....
I decided another few days wouldn't hurt. I ordered my lug nuts and had them expressed (BlueR = teh mad tight seller). I took what was supposed to be my last day at work off (in advance) and threw it on the lift. Got the front on and was expecting the nuts to be here the same day. Only 1 package got here so I rolled it into the lot with 2 Dai's and 3 stocks on each wheel. A problem caused the other 4 packs to arrive late so when they did (BlueR = awesome seller regardless, not his fault....USPS.....) I threw on the rest and drove it home. Put on the rears in my basement garage and cried when the local salvage yard would sell my just the front LCA's off of a EX so I could install the sway bar while it was down. Bled the brakes, got it aligned, got a paint flaw fixed, and am now trying to find time to install the ITR MC and track down a set of EX front LCA's. I'll be doing a complete Write-Up on the conversion (CTR brakes and complete suspension...almost) sometime this week when I quit looking at Pr0n long enough to resize the pics.

Questions/comments welcome (except for 5-lug specific, look for how-to). No, I'm not lowering it or getting this or that lip or an exhaust. If the off-road hotness bugs you that much, make a photoshop contest with it

IT looks alright but you can't tell what the hell the wheels look like. It's kinda hovering.

Ugly Slipstreams is all. Looking for some CRV steelies for daily driving (hook me up). I'd really like to see it with the Acura optional mesh wheels bit I can't justify paying that much for bling daily driving wheels.

Re: (Aquafina)
Again, not trying to be a dick, but why are you buying all CTR stuff?
IMO you could spend that same amount of money on better suspsension products.
To me it looks like you're leaning towards the fashion statement.. gotta have those CTR parts

Because I'm not ready for other suspension stuff. I waited until my stock stuff was no longer doing anything for me and moved up to the next step. Fashion statement? Yeah, I spent all that money on and extra lug and some brakes that no one notices unless I tell them.

Re: (Aquafina)
ok great brake upgrade but you dint explain why you keep saying "i have 5 lug" "i have 5 lug"
dont get me wrong im all for the brake upgrade though but dont brag abou function on an extra lug when the only real function in your use is a different set of wheels and the "look at my extra jdm lug" factor
