On a side note, coilovers usually dont fare well in harsh winter / salty environment. The height adjustment tend to seize... Most people i know who run them over here either swap back oem suspension or just storage their cars for winter months.
Cant remember exactly how the B pipe ended. The DP end with a flat flenge to.
But since its my only car, im probably just going to ask my mechanic to look it up when i'll go for my alignement next month.
Catted, the dp didnt came with a gasket/bolts. I've used some shady parts to make it work but the bolts didnt like the winter. Now that i have to replace the bolts, im trying to make it right with getting the right gasket.
So, i'm running a 3'' dp on stock exhaust and it seems like im getting a small leak between the dp and B pipe, im wondering wich size of gasket would be better ?
3'' gasket ( Dp size ) , 2.5'' gasket ( exhaust size ) or oem doughnut gasket ( idk if that'll even fit with aftermarket dp) ...
Well, as @NoMoreNissans said, handling mods will be the best value there. Power mods for an R18 will ending up costing you wayyyy too much $ per HP. Beware of false manufacturers claims.
Why mod a car that you're already planning to trade ? You should think about saving that money to get the car you really want instead. You'll end up loosing a few grands modding a car you dont want...
@Nomar06 They probably will,the coupe concept had the same aggressive front/rear wich didnt went trought production. If you remove the wheels, brakes, body kit, center exhaust and aggressive front/rear end, i dont think its that far off production model.
To me, the hatch flows better than the...
You should plan to run slight negative camber front. I've got 17x8 +45, 225/45r17 tires with h&r springs and i get slight rubbing on big road bumps. I've ripped of most of my inner fender clips pins last summer.
tbh, this seems to be a bit of an overkill on pretty much stock civic. Arent those mods putting you in a very competitive autocross class ?
But again im more of a fonction guy. You'll soon have to change your ''modest build'' title :P
