Next pay period I'll do a few measurements for the rear wheels to see if i should have then widened 3" and change the offset. Also, the hood with be addressed and a thousand other things. Hopefully smaller tires will be ordered soon too(I hate how ballooned these are) Then body work and paint WOOTY WOOT!!! But thanks for looking and PEACE!!!!

**quickdodge®** · 03-18-2012, 11:06 AM

^^^ Why didn't you get new rotors while you had everything apart?

Those tires aren't ballooned at all. And the camber isn't perfect at all, either.

Love the wagon, dude. The earlier pics you have up? Put some nice wheels and tires on it and call it a day.

NO TINT!!! This car looks good without tint.

At least these are my opinions...except for the part about the balloon and camber.

Good luck, man. Later, QD.

**Genji-Sama** · 03-18-2012, 02:23 PM

^^^If he weren't going for the "stance" look i'd agree, but i gotta agree OP tires look a bit meaty and a few other things you addressed/will address.

Do work

There was no need for the rotors. I sanded then down to the bare rotor(light turn)

When i say the camber is perfect> i mean it worked out so the fenders wouldn't get raped
and i'm starting to have second guesses on the wheels.

I would definitely finish the car with these wheels. They are unique, fit pretty well, and will stand out HUGE at a show. Unless you've got another set that's as cool on the radar, it would be a tragedy for this car to end up on another lame set of XXR's or something.

I agree with QD as well, tires actually look fine on there.

**Bacon** · 03-19-2012, 09:49 AM

What are the specs on those wheels?

**Sammich** · 03-19-2012, 01:32 PM

mmmmmmmmmm

Thanx for the encouragement, because I'm on the fence about it.. I do like the uniqueness!!

Those rims look really good on your car. In for a pic of all four on them!

**quickdodge®** · 03-19-2012, 10:08 PM

Mixed_body, that really looks good. Get the other two wheels on there and call it a day is what I would do. Personally, the no tint look is on point on a wagon.

Keep it up. Later, QD.

Yes! I totally agree about the tint. It wouldn't fit with the overall look. And the wheels are starting to grow on me.

**Drummerboy** · 03-20-2012, 02:24 AM

Please turbo the f22...

lmk if you need info on it. I ran a turbo'd f22 in my prelude for 2 years making 347/313

Not bad the wheels look good on it. Swap the rear and some fresh paint and call it done!

**drewc** · 03-20-2012, 09:17 AM

I would also tint the windows up.

**mixed_body** · 03-20-2012, 10:04 AM

I'm 70/30 on not having window tint.. I'll probably put a nickel chromium based film that has little to no tint to prevent heat transfer. Buy that's all

**Sammich** · 03-20-2012, 10:18 AM

cant wait til the rear gets done

**mixed_body** · 03-20-2012, 10:24 AM

Me too I'm just as anxious as you guys!! It's killing me lol

Will do!! That's on the list, since I have the a6. I want to do a 5 speed swap first though. Then, I want to run a modest boost 300hp setup.

**Bacon** · 03-20-2012, 10:44 AM

I'm just waiting on a weekend for my swap. I'm in the process of repainting my Advans and I already have the five lug swap. If you wanna lend a hand with my swap let me know. It'll give you some more insight on swapping the CB chassis.

**mixed_body** · 03-20-2012, 01:29 PM

Yes! I'm down what swap are you doing?

**Bacon** · 03-20-2012, 01:31 PM

Blue top H23A

**Franco Tirador** · 03-20-2012, 08:57 PM

saw this thing about an hour ago, i dont know where you got those wheels bro, but those thing are ON POINT!!!! that stance is sex, now just finish the rear!!!!!!!!!!!

**mixed_body** · 03-20-2012, 10:11 PM

O really? Where and what car was you driving? I probably seen yours too lol

**Okie_doke.** · 03-22-2012, 10:14 PM

dammit i want

**mixed_body** · 03-23-2012, 01:10 PM

Thanx dude!! If your still interested the car will be for sale at the end of the year. Or part out...I need a cobra!!!

**Sammich** · 03-23-2012, 01:19 PM

LMAO fukin honda owners do work then sell/trade

**uho** · 03-23-2012, 03:31 PM

car is looking good with them wheels. I def agree with f22-t/man trans swap in the future, def a good motor for boost man, and don't sell that would be stupid keep it for a daily and why a cobra, you could easily smoke a cobra with the right build man and plus there not good on gas.

**mixed_body** · 03-23-2012, 03:51 PM

Honestly, I love this car and I hate the thought of getting rid of it, but the cobra is my dream car. The wagon really was just a cheap car that I picked up becAuse my volvo 244 crapped on me. I wanted to do work because I've never jumped in a car as much as this one. Besides, I can always get another cheap dd later lol. Sorry if it's hard to hearts, but it's the truth. Plus, I'll still finish the car that my goal. So there!!!

**Sammich** · 03-23-2012, 03:54 PM

why not just keep the honda as a cheap daily..

**quickdodge®** · 03-23-2012, 08:13 PM

That's what I'm thinking. Or if you're wanting the cobra so bad, why put more money into this wagon? You're not going to get that money back. You're going to end up further back than when you started.

And I wouldn't put a turbo on that. That's just another outlet for problems and a lot more money being put in that you won't get back out. Plus this car looks more like a slow-n-low cruiser. It should be used as such, lolol. Later, QD.
