Default well....i did some math last night and...

...the grand total for my hatch project broke $10,000 as of this past week...
hopefully, i get her done soon. since i started this new job, i've upgraded her rear disk breaks and pads, hoses and i'm buying my friend's wheels with tires. here's pic of the rim:



the 10 g's includes the chassis, motor build up, head work, machine work and labor, suspension, motor, tranny...etc.,
this thing is one major $$$ pit...oh well...it will be worth it in the end i hope.
oh yeah...need a new paint job and repair the massive damage on the driver's side door and rear quarter...

$10k is not that bad since you bought the car cheaper. Imagine those with $20k cars and spending 10k on top of that.

thanks for the reponse guys. the wheels are from R1...i'll find the link for the site soon...my friend sold them with tires to me...i think they are kumhos. i guess i'll feel better when i kill an M3 later. heck...i didn't even include the dyno and custom exhaust on the costs yet...

Rule #1 - Don't add up how much things cost. It'll usually make you sick...

hmmmm....ok. they are 15" rims, 4x100 bolt pattern. i'll check on the offset, but i'm pretty sure it will fit a 1992-2000 civic. it weighs 10 lbs. it's flat black with a polished lip. actual size is 15x6.5. don't really know who makes 'em...they are called R-1...stickers on the wheel will come off easy. i'll check with my friend to find out where he got 'em...pm me for more details.
