Nice! I really like those brackets.. The splitter that came with the RRG lip I have is very flimsy.. I may have to borrow some of your ideas!

All this 949 rim talk is making me regret my rpf1 purchase.


Wish I had some updates, computer crashed and uploading pics is useless right now.. Been trying to get fuel lines ordered and map'd out.. regretting this FPR, one that bolts to the rail would make things a whole lot simpler and cleaner. I need to start selling some of my stock pile of parts, Jdm hood.. tons of oem stuff, complete drivetrain for a 91si, parts from old cars.. just dont know where to start or pricing for anything! For now its just shoveling snow and staring at anplumbing!


Cool to see I made top 10, happy to see I didn't make top 5! 949 pics NOW!

I kind of agree. I have RPF1's on my coupe...and I would have run those on the CRX, but they don't clear my Wilwood calipers AND, I wanted an 8" wide rim.

My RPF1's are so mint on my coupe and I've been considering selling them, but I think I'm just going to hold onto them.

Anyone seen these before? I think I'm going to order 3 or 4 for the garage...

You guys are great! I guess each rim has its advantages. how much does that 8" rim weigh in at?

speaking of your coupe.. Nice plate, looks normal until you read it out loud.
Thats a nice rack! pricey? I believe you could even make them yourself.

And for the 949 v. RPF1....TBH I'd love to have either of them haha, the RPF1 is one of my favorite wheels so it has an advantage haha

Although for my Teg....I want some 17" NT03's

we run a 3/4'' spacer setup on my buddies EF (red civic standard, the "ultimate sleeper" ef from years ago) to clear his wilwoods with RPF1s...those things SUCK for clearance.

for the tire racks...you can EASILY make them ifyour cheap like me, but those are nice lil' setups.

not me. haha i did 3 years at a STUPID difficult school in michigan, and didnt finish, even though i had my degree in psych done, business minor done, etc. had to do a full year of BS classes.

my parents were having money problems, the business wasnt doing so great, and i came back to save it, and keep them from losing everything.


they still have everything, 8 years later.... i dont make much money yet, but the business is now mine basically, we're doing about 10-15% more business every year, paying off debt like nobodies business, etc.

great job finishing Beau! badass

congrats on your degree! the only bad thing about going to school is paying for it...unless you have a free ride. wife is currently going for her masters and i'm ready to go for my BS in engineering, but having kids and wanting to go to school full time is a hard thing to accomplish. my AAS will suffice for now. friend of mine is graduating with his masters in mech engineering and getting a job with Boeing...wish Cumming would have called him back for the job but i have to get him to take his crx to the track before he leaves

if i moved back to nc, it would to be either to go to NCS or UNC. UNC has a better program for my study. apparently they are 8th in the country for secondary education masters / phds.

Ive never thought about selling it.. I would for the right price I suppose.. shipping may be tough because it is long and somewhat fragile... I guess making an offer couldn't hurt. I cant remember off the top of my head what they were selling for new or even what I paid for it from STREETWERKZ years ago.. I do know its a nice addition to my room of parts tho! Ill get some pics soon as I fix these computer problems.
