jeez man, I dont even know anymore. when I lost it I wanted to get back into one, but after the integra, they just seem too big and heavy. But I did love the luxury. Maybe a 2nd gen, who knows?

Maybe you'll see a "CHECK OUT MY NEW CL" thread come summertime

not too bad, i think some suspension, WAYYY better wheels (volks or something) and ambers would really set it off. Also, h22a ftmfw!!! lol A for effort

lol defenitly.

the only reason i dont have wheels is because i dropped so much on that CF hood over the summer that i couldnt afford wheels. when i saw that hood on Ebay i bought it within minutes. that hood is soooo rare its not even funny.

but next summer im planning on circuit 10's or GT3's or something cheap from Rota.

umm how about no and just buy 96 type R rims and it will look perfect...
to make some real power....put in the h22 type s pistons...and a 2 layer head gasket and you will have a high compression f23 block with some *****.

yea man type-r wheels are ******* tight. but i dont know if i want 15's. my car comes stock with 16's. i actually might sand down the wheels i have and have them powdercoated or painted black.

and as for throwing in some type-s pistons and doing engine work to my F22, i dont think it would be worth it. the motor has 126K. i could very well do that with my F23 motor in storage but i dont have the money or patience at this point.

my plans for the car as of now:
Wings West Front Lip
paint the rear lip and skirts white
factory option spolier
forbidden motorsports short shifter
35% tints all around
and some more suspension work

thanks for the comments.

i like the hood a lot. no on the black painted wheels. take your car out and do a proper photshoot cuz other than shitty pics it looks nice.

Eh, I'm not a fan of those wheels at all.

If you want to stick with OEM why not get some of those mesh or whatnot CL wheels? They're 16s but look much better imo.
