nope. found out our boss has been ******* us out of some bonus money the last few months and since he got caught doing it, i have money for tires

from what i've read, it will fit, just might rub a little on full lock.

don't really want the extra weight from the steel wheels. if they fit and don't rub i will plastidip them and they're AT's

 

yeah def dont get those steel wheels. it looks cool and all but rapes gas mileage. i still dont think rubbing will be an issue. if you have not started yet i would really suggest trying to get some small spacers or at least longer bolts in the front struts so you have the option later.

 

just to level it out or what? apparently if you put weight in the back of the V with ironman's, the springs settle quicker and don't give as much of the raked look as they would without using weight. either way, it will have an amp and sub sooner or later in there so a little weight will always be there

 

^ That was my solution - a nice ported 12. hahaha

 

Ya I just have a small 10 that I have a truck box for. Don't want anything loud, just for better sound quality

 

tires arrived today. seem to be way heavier than i was expecting...


Also this morning, pulling into work, rashed one of my wheels pretty good and decided i'm gonna dip them once i get the new tires on. thinking either red or black. suggestions?

 

Black plastidip ftw

 

or gold maybe. blue and gold look good

 

Like a subaru theme?

 

similar to this color of gold...

 

Isnt that Bronze?
I believe those are bronze mugen mf10's

 

ya, that's the color closer to the plastidip metallic color

 

I think bronze would look good.

And I agree, a midrange 10 is plenty for a V since there is no trunk. My buddy sold me his box/sub for really cheap so I couldn't say no. Otherwise I would've gone more compact and possibly fitted to the seat slope or the shock top.
And the under-the-table spare area holds all the audio components quite nicely.

 

ha ya, i bought a Treo system back right after high school that was 2 10's and and an amp. truck was broken into a couple years ago and 1 sub and the amp was stolen, so i have a random sub just collecting dust. that was my exact thought too, install the amp under the table.

if i can pick up the bronze locally then i think i'm gonna go that route, if not then i will just do black

 

yeah do that, black is so overdone at this point.

 

deal. how many wheels will a can do? i've never used this **** lol

 

Depending on how many coats you do, you can probably do everything with 1 can of paint and 1 can of clear coat.
I'd get 2 of paint just in case though.

 

Ok good. Considering there's not much material to cover, I should be able to do it with one can I'm hoping

 

I did 3 coats on my roof rails with an almost full can of black. And still had a bit left for misc crap. So I'm thinking you should be ok. Just to cake it on. Swoosh it, wait, wet, wait, swoosh/touchup, wait, clear.

 

well looks like i'm going with black. there are no bronze carriers around town and i don't feel like waiting for an order to get here. does it require primer also or just spray it directly onto the wheels?

 

so nothing Honda related, but the owner of the Kia dealership showed up today for his monthly visit in his newest ride...must be rough living the way he does

 

just realized i never threw up some interior shots. well here ya go!

 

Got the springs and tires on today. Rears were tougher than the fronts for some reason. Sorry but this is gonna be multiple posts since my phone won't load all pics at once.
On the lift ready to start

 

Sitting on the ground for the first time! Had to pound in a rail in the back wells to clear the tires. Fronts do not rub on flat ground at full lock unlike people said they would. They do rub when turning on uneven ground though

 

Last shot I have is next to my buddy's lowered Prelude. He helped me after work
