Default What wheels would look good on my car?

Hi guys and gals, I'm new to Honda-Tech.com, was wondering if anyone can suggest the wheels that would best suit my Civic Jordan #451/500.





Thanks

Ahki

SW388's.
And get a new intake filter. I read that the *edit* HKS filter sucks.

I'd say SPOON as well to match that SPOON sticker under the mirror

BTW: the Jordan Civic is dope as hell! USA doesn't get cool **** like that.

Please show us interior pictures, and all the specs on the car please. I read about it long ago on Temple of the VTEC, but I forgot and I'd like to know again.

I'll stick with the HKS SPF Induction kit, thanks.

Hi, what do you mean by dope?
I have stripped out the two front seats and replaced them with new Recaro SR's from a ITR in black alcantara and red stitchings.
The original car is a bog standard VTi or in the US it is called a Si? with Type-R rear bumper and front spoiler as standard.
Interior wise, it comes with Jordan livied black and yellow leather seats and floor mats. (I still got them, any offers? )

from which car do you want the Spec? the Standard or mine?

Hi, the brakes will be replaced by a set of Spoon 4-pot calipers with AP-Racing disc and bell housing.

Has to be a fun car!!!!!!
what motor is that?
oh it is a fun car. redline it evry chance I get.

"What motor?"

the car is a Honda CIVIC "Jordan" LTD Edition # 451/500
The Engine is... B16 with Spoon 70mm throttle body, Cams, etc, etc, I find the Cams are too mellow. Am thinking of SKUNK2 Stage3 anybody tried those?

Ahki

why would the wheels not fit?

The front end crome and the hood with the air scoop on the wrong side
The Chrome grill comes as standard. What do you mean the scoop is on the wrong side??

This is is called a vent and not a scoop! It is aerodynamically and thermal-dynamically tested and is proven to extract heat more efficiently while keeping drag to a minimum..

The rest is ok engine look very clean and yes the air filter ---> put K&N better
hahaha... whatever you say..

Sweet Jordan! Those have a little Buzzing Hornet logo on the back, right?

I wish Honda would get their F1 program on track... Toyota is already looking more powerfull.

12 posts and you're already starting ****!

Oh, and by "dope" i mean very NICE.

You don't have to get SPOONS, but it would be a nice addition to the other SPOON stuff you told me about in the IM.

hmm...


Hi B18C5-EH2,

I realise dope has a different meaning in the US
.

I am contemplating, maybe some Speedline Corse wheels, but spoon has a simple and strong design.

you my friend, have a very beautiful car.
I saw a vented CRUX c/f hood on an EK one day..and I thought it made it look very aggresive with the CTR lip..your car just solidifies my findings.

Have you done any internal motor work?

BTW, Spoons would be a good choice..16" would be a good size for the EK..
