You know how there's 4 mounts on the car for the roof? (the pieces that the roof lock mechanism slides into). Well, you take a washer and put it between the mount and the body of the car, on each bolt where it mounts to the vehicle. This lowers each mount by the thickness of the washer, making the roof tighter locked down. It helps to eliminate roof rattles too.

I think that the tire size anyone here with 16's is running should be 205/40/16

i think 205/45/16 is perfect imo. for a 16X7 wheel anyways

the azenis doesn't come with that size and the 205/40/16 is too thin and "rubberband" like. Seen them on a few cars, mounted on a set of C8s or slips and not enough sidewall. Maybe if you want to be slammed they would be good.

I think the 215/45/16 is a better choice when buying the azenis.

but I ended up getting 205/50/16 since that was the smallest size they had in 16" for the dunlop star specs. They are beefy to say the least.

Have you tried the washer trick to tighten the roof?

no it leaks where the drivers window meets the molding for the roof.

Go to honda and ask them for a copy of the technical service bulliten, there's a detailed fix that involves bending the window frame.

still not a 97 V cluster.... =p

redline too high for a b16a2.

if it helps any to the MA future Soler... do NOT get the automatic S. i drove my friends car, exactly like what you described. white 93 S automatic... and it was terrible compared to the Si i used to own (also automatic) the Si is where it's at... unless you wait like i did and find a decent VTEC. I got my IGP from watertown, ma. and i didn't pay 5-6k..
