04 Honda Civic hybrid manual

wheels; 15x7 FN01R / 35 offset (forged yo!)
*Oem 14x5.5 with 185/70/14 = 32.5 pounds
*new combo with 205/50/15 = 30.8

(helps me keep my MPG in check, total loss from OEM combo with Low resistance tire - about 2 mpg)

The oem wheels are only 14x5.5 - so anything was a massive upgrade!




*notice the shift up and shift down light for maximum mpg!* haha











I have some basic mods left, koni yellows and a sway bar, and foglights!

LOL I dont know why, but I love the fact that its a hybrid.

 

personally love that year civic hybrid....Dump that bish!!

 

how fast is it?

 

nice!

 

I've auto-x it once. Its slow as *****. haha. I found out after a couple runs that I had used all of the electric battery, so I had to drive around in 4th gear charging it up again.

But at least with the manual, I can just keep it in gear when I really need the power, like when merging the freeway.

 

I wonder how much more the hybrid weighs than the standard sedan?

 

its about 150 more pounds.

Its pretty hefty! (2770)

 

sell me the stock wheels.

Haha you need to go on a diet to offset that a little

 

LOL you Auto-x that?! Since it weighs more than a regular, make it lose some weight. Carbon Fiber parts!

 

u need to lose weight yo, your fat

 

these things are **** slow, i remember driving one and it would shut of at traffic lights to save gas, yours dont look to bad, and gotta like that mpg rating

 

I like it, props

 

Looks good right now. You should consider the 04-05 non-hybrid front bumper/grille. Then, maybe a CF hood and trunk lid.

Thanks, but I'm going to leave the body alone with all the hybrid parts.

Hey, the tiny spoiler supposdly helps reduce drag!

I can only change the grill w/ the non-hybrid bumper right?

You really dont want them, they are only 14x5.5!

Quite heavy too, 14 pounds, but they are aerodyanmic.

In order to change the grille, you'd need to swap bumper covers. The Hybrid grille is actually part of the bumper cover, where as on the standard car it isn't.

 

im a little confused, did these new wheels help your mpg? Either way it looks better

Im a junky for mpg as well, my best in my 92 civic sedan has been 42.5

 

I love the back of the ES's... And hybrids are cool for a car thats smarter then most people.

 

for some reason i just can't hate the hybrid...lol...

 

looks good.
