Alberto's modest civic build

Late october (25) 2015

Got me a set of Maxxim Winner 17x7 +40 rims, i wanted tiffany blue... i guessi needed a little bit more green, oh well (exotic sea blue from home depot lol) and also got Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 215/45/17

I also went to Frankies Window Tinting in lombard il, got light chameleon for headlights, 40% all around, and light smoke on tails.

nice winter set. How do those lights look at night. Does it shine various colors on things?
 
Thanks you, and it doesn't affect light output at all, i got 35w 6000k hids, they still come out very light blue, ill do a video eventually, it's hard to explain in words lol
 
Winter setup looks good. Nice to see people running dedicated cold weather/snow tires.
 
They were nice and smoothly rolled, and my 235/45/17 17x9 +35 kept rubbing, so i told the guy to hella roll and pull them... he told me "are you sure?" I told him yeah, after he did that i was still rubbing on this>








So i cut that bish so good, she wish i hadn't cut her so bad knowuyimsayin' ?

Zipties are to replace that bolt holding the bumper.

Eventually i plan on getting ribbet on fender flares .
 
I havent done much lately. On December 2015 i put on white Samsung leds from ebay on my license plate and reverse bulbs.

I ordered more race number decals and a banner from Spinnywhoosh but they haven't arrived yet.





 
Yikes. I'm confused. Aren't the wheels are only 17 x 7? Why not reduce the drop so you wouldn't need to cut the car?

What happened here?....

Guys... i did a thing... im in too deep


#NeverSellingCar















 
I use my car for autox and track, now i need to buy a daily. My summer settup is 235/45/17 17x9 +35. I may get 255/40/17 17x9.5 +15. I need to test fit

I will be running -1.5* front -1.8* or -2* rear
 
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
 
Yeah... i originallywas going to keep it stock.

Now im stuck with her forever, im probably gonna buy a base accord as a daily lmao.

I also bought (but haven't received yet) Eibach sway bars (adjustable, 24mm front, 19mm rear) , MeganRacing front strut brace, StopTech slotted rotors.... woops.
 
I would hope they cleaned the salt off your fenders before they installed those. It does not look like it from the pictures. They also need to get in there and seal all those cuts they made or you are going to have rust eat its way up both fenders and quarter panels.


This image is particularly disturbing as there is visible salt and bare metal on all those tabs and relief cuts.

Also if you're auto crossing, larger rear sway and smaller front sway will help the car rotate better. The Eibach setup you mentioned with 24F/19R will make the car corner flatter but not turn better. What class are you trying to run? Most likely with that large of a wheel and those other parts you are going to be bumped into a very competitive class. The new stock rules do allow for one sway bar.
