Default 14's????

Anyone try 14's on their EP? I just need to know if they fit and if anyone has a picture that would be good too. Thanks guys.

Hahha, no not to rock, I found a good deal on some drag slicks but they're on some ugly 14's so if there are some good looking light weight 14's I can fit why not right?

Wtd dude asked a questoin about some 14's with race slick not about a funny thread. Even tho it is funny lol. I don't think 14's would look good for dd but for track that's differnt. Idk about the brake clearence tho.

14's should clear. And how fast are you looking to go? 13's with i/rh/e/kpro? that would be epic

WTF ^^ I have a friend with a GSR EG that runs low 14's on street tires and he's the best driver I know. He only beats me by maybe 2 cars. I have an intake and a DC raceheader. Maybe every EP you've been has had a crappy driver or something because I've heard plenty of EP's running high 14's with bolt-on parts, not even with k-pro.

Could you notice any difference after you added your intake and header?...I was gonna do that with with my 03 Base RSX...since apparently my k20a3 motor doesn't handle high horsepower from boosting it and everything...

Hell yeah I noticed a difference haha. A 22whp difference, I'm not saying EP's are super fast and all but I think they are hated on too much. I agree with the whole Type-S' have more potential and are better out of the box thing, but that doesn't mean that EP's aren't able to perform.

Do the EP3's have k20a3's?...I don't know much of anything about EP3's so...but like I was saying, it does suck that I can't boost my car safely the way it is...and if I build my motor it will still have the lower revs and i'll have to get other parts anyways...from a k20a2 more than likely...but I don't wanna do a swap because my motor has 77,000 miles and is mint...i'd hate to rip it apart...it's a perfectly good car ya know...so i'm going to do basic mods...i/h/e...already have exhaust...and then save my money and build a B18C and maybe find a GSR body and drop it into that...fix whatever needs fix and then i'll have a nice 03 RSX as a daily driver and a boosted integra for the weekends...what do you think? (btw...didn't mean to interuppt your forum with irrelevant conversation but I wasn't gonna start a new thread or fill up PM's)

Yeah, North American EP's come with the a3. As for the b18c, drop it in an EG shell haha. I actually just dropped one in mine. I got a GSR Integra shell for 400 bucks and traded it for an EG shell and I just got done dropping the b18c in that. Way faster than a GSR Integra, I actually have a GSR Integra for sale right now lol. BTW I have a lot of cars.

My cousin's 95 EG hatch (stock dx motor) with cai that comes into a intercooler, shorty header with some new kumho tires (forgot what kind but they were street tires), stage 1 clutch and cf hood broke 15's and ran 14.97. I didn't want to believe it but I was there and witnessed it. He ran against a 92-95 civic coupe with a swap GSR motor who ran 15.16. After the race, that civic coupe swaped gsr was hella pissed and wanted to run again so on the 2nd run my cousin ran 15.03 and he ran 15.4. Now somehow I thought eg's with the same or similar mods like my cousin would be runing high to mid 15's at best right?

I still can't believe my EP would be even slower than my cousin's EG. I don't want to get embarrashed by him so I'll stay away from racing him for awhile...until I become better...lol...Infact I haven't ran my car at the track for a while now and still need to practice more...Oh, and I only have bolt ons on my EP. If I can run low 15's, I'll be happy.

Holy frickin' crap haha ^^ that's crazy lol. Oh and by the way I tried some HX wheels on for the hell of it and they do fit but with spacers in the front lol. Only like a 3mm spacer is needed though.
