Here are some pictures of the civic while primering. The primer was laying really good tonight. 71 degrees in the garage at 900pm.
Here is my makeshift paint booth in my 8 car garage

 

8 car garage? dam..

 

I just pulled the heat shield out, i need to do a little metal work for the pipe hanger, looks pretty good for being a quarter century old. While it's out i'll clean it up and paint it with some heat paint.



took a picture of some of my nice rebuilt shifter stuff while it was out.

 

smh

this.



damn...i wish mine were as clean...

 

8 car garage! I'm jealous! I'm working on painting mine as well in a two car garage, lol.

that looks very nice like the wheels keep up the good work

 

nice civic! pretty sweet that yur from south africa too!

 

Welcome to the fam and this is a manly hug

 

Hey DumaDA what specs are those rims and tires? I think I like that type of fitment for my ride , not that I'm trying to copy yo styzz, but i like the look maybe I might tweak it a bit.

 

each one of those pictures has a different set of wheels, so im not sure which wheels you're referring to

 

the middle picture brotha

 

ooooh i think i know! 16x8 +15!

 

the middle ones are 15x8+0 with a 195/50-15 tire, those tires were too bulky so i picked up some 195/45-15s and the wheels fit much better with less rubbing

 

That is a clean ferio bro! Welcome to the thread.

 

Would 205/50-15 work ok without rubbing,( wait that was stupid question if the 195/50-15 was rubbing then DUH!!! the larger is gonna rub ) also I don't know anything about tire fitment and I hear ppl talking about toe/camber. If you don't mind me asking what setting was it at to have them sit like this " / \ " ?

 

i never ran a camber kit on that car, just the wheels camber in naturally, i would either lower the car more or roll the fenders more to fit a set up. If your car is slammed and you throw a 195 45-15 on you'll just need a fender roll and you'll be good, those specs are pretty aggressive though, i would prefer the wheels that 91sedan_kid and My_EFsedan are running which are 16x8+20, imo those are the nicest wheels sportmax/xxr has ever come out with

 

thanks bro i see u in Pico .. like 35mins from me

 

well....at least i got the width right

tire sizing works like this:

205/50/r16

205 is the width in mm
50 is the aspect ratio or the relation of width to diameter so it is your sidewall
r just means steel belted radial
and 16 is your rim diameter.

generally speaking, people will put 215 tires on 8" wheels but some will go as high as 235 or as low as 195

 

i've seen 165/45-15s on a 8" wheel before, **** looked hella stupid though

 

wow...i just said 195 because anything skinnier is just a dumb idea lol

 

bought some JDM blackhousing lights w/ city lights .. idk but ya imma pick them up tmw with some new amber corners.

 

dude thats how i want my teg to look simple and elegant. nice car!!!

 

More stuff on the heat shield, ready to go back in
