Nice start dude!..

You planning to go Lower?

What other Mods are ya planning?

 

I have some other stuff im getting together. Hopefully the pictures will help people out with their next mods. I had a hard time finding images of certain things when trying to figure out whats things would fit and what it would look like.

The Torque Solutions exhaust hangers will be here today! The exhaust is really shakey, these should do the trick.

Also going to order some spacers... 10mm all around.

Washed it last night and snapped a few

 

Looks great! BTW, that is the greatest vanity plate evar!

 

Thanks man! Not going lower! I had a 96 civic dumped on coilovers for the past 4 years and that ____ is for the birds. I hit something and ripped the gas tank out it was so low.

I like the handling and ride height I have right now.

 

I love the gold wheels. Look forward to seeing what else you do

 

Your tC2 looks great. Loving those Rotas.

 

The gold wheels look really good on it. I like the last photo best.

Subscribed!

 

florida doing it big! it looks awesome.. i got the cement on black wheels

 

Love it! Looks awesome! Nice pics too! What camera?

 

Where do you plan on getting your spacers? Looks good so far. And like everyone else said, nice color option to contrast against the grey

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the kind words!

Its funny, I was soooooo stressing the tire choice! When I bolted on the first one and lowered it down I was like ____, I could have got a wider tire! You live... you learn

1stOne - Nikon D300 body & all kind of good glass! I was using a Nikkor 105mm F2.8 VR for the last 2 shots.

Superpickel - I will probably just get the spacers on ebay. The H&R trak with the extended studs seems to be the way to go.

 

Clean tC2 bro! I think this is the first one ive seen on gold rims. looks dope. haha love the license plate. is that real or ps?

 

Love the wheels. I thought about getting those myself. What kind of price you get on them?
Will be watching your build as it looks pretty nice.

 

blk07tC - thanks man, the plate is shopped. I was removing the rear emblem in photoshop to see what it would look like and I just went ahead and did the plate

jayjayk89 - thanks! I got the wheels from wheeldude.com for $950 shipped. Great guys over there!


I finally got the Torque Solutions exhaust hangers in the mail yesterday! The exhaust was soooo loose...no me gusta. There is absolutely no movement in the exhaust at all now. The hangers were a pain in the ___ to install, so bring the lube and eat your Wheaties!

The photo of the kit on the website only shows 4 hangers but it includes all 5.



Old vs. New


Before & After Hangers

Also a video of the exhaust before the hangers. (The video doesnt do the exhaust justice)

How do embed the youtube videos??

 

^use [youtube][/youtube] tags with the hangers would you say there is increased vibration in the cabin as well as increased noise? I have the descendant exhaust installed and I ordered the exhaust hangers but I havn't installed the exhaust hangers yet.

 

Nothing like the motor mount video I saw on here. There is no shake on start up or when you turn the engine off. If it were anything like the motor mount, I would remove them. I'm in stop and go traffic every morning and I didn't notice much of anything in terms of annoying vibrations.

I tried all kinds of tags to embed the videos, but no luck.

 

How much were the new tires?

 

Got them at TireRack.com

Figured I would add these photos in this thread, keep all my photos in one place!

Picked up some Nitto NT-05 275/35/18. (wheels: 18x9.5 ET44)

Got them put on after work yesterday, was 99% sure they were gonna be fine but was still a lil nervous. Fit fine with zero problems! Got a 1 finger gap all the way around, no rubbing at all!

Put it through the gauntlet this morning, hwy on ramps at high speed and everything is good to go! The grip is absolutely insane
