Default Hello there, new from the UK and need help getting parts to me

Have been browsing honda-tech for a while and have been into JDM civics for years (despite the last car i owned) and always see u lot with mad parts that i cant get over here.

Because im not a member yet i can only make 5 posts a day so il ask everything i can think of now.

1. How the hell do u drop a eg so its tuckin tyres with good handling and no rubbing? (on 15's)
2. What make are these wheels and how do i get them to me?

3. where can i get the option bumper stickers from?
4. can good power gains be had from a D15b2? i raced a EP3 in my last car (D15b2) and beat it, he was trying but probably wasnt a good driver.

My old car:




I know its a rice bucket but i liked it, full stop.

Unfortunately i crashed it and have another now, this one is a LSi (not sure what that is in the US) but it has a D15b2, it has black interior (my last civic had a nasty grey interior). Iv swapped the wheels, susp (sleeve kit), exhaust, spoiler, and filter, i am lookin for some Mugen rnr's or the wheels on that black eg.







This is a photoshop of where i am going to start (where can i get these tyres from???)


We have a little crew of honda's, i get some pics of them when im out with the camera next, show you how we do in the UK.

hello there and welcome.

I'm pretty sure that there are more than a few companies in the UK that are respectable and that bring shipments of grey import cars and parts. Thats your best bet.

for your first question, just cause tucking might look appealing, it could really destroy the ride of the car. A proper suspension mechanic will know the proper camber and drop limit for the car.

and for the second question... those are really rare on this side of the pond, so you'll have to order them from abroad.

Haha, and that third window brake light is crazy! I like the stock UKDM seats with the headrests like that!

it looks like your tucking your wheels pretty good there, you need more?

and as for your ?'s about the d15b2 i've never heard of that before, we dont have those here. but power gains are always a possibility you just hae to spend the $$$ in the right places.
