[milano_red]

Just found this on my phone from the chili's parking lot the night before IA 2012.

Awesome! I love your car so much I wish I had to the balls to drive that low daily.

I love the 5 spokes, reminds me kinda of my wheels

Haha believe me... It sometimes gets annoying driving so low... But.. when I had it raised on steelies for 2 months before buying new wheels... THAT WAS WAY WORST in my opinion!!

I love this car. I don't even know why, I just love this car.

You do know why... You love it cause it's AWESOME! hahaha jussss kiddin

Your sedan looks great man! I was looking pretty heavily into getting these or the mesh wheels from ESM, and they work with the white for sure. You're in tennessee right? Coming down to Atlanta any time soon? Haha

The mesh look sick! I just not a fan of mesh wheels myself but I like the way the look on certain cars.
I wish I could just drive to ATL whenever...lol 8 hour drive!

that is great progress bro from the 1st post till now..love he new wheels..what are the specs of wheels and tiers??

Thanks man! it's come a long way!

15x8 +10 all the way around.

Just found this on my phone from the chili's parking lot the night before IA 2012.

wait... what?? lol Where's the red hatch?? He and I were everywhere together in Atl... unless he whipped around front to let some guy jump his car, because he had a dead ass battery, when the pic was taken... I say that because we parked so close to each other at chilis because we didn't want any morons to hit our cars with their doors if you notice how I'm on the line and he could barely even get in or out of his car with how close we were.... and we thought it would be funny to park next to the huge truck lol

[milano_red]

Right before I took that pic I talked to him while he was jumping that guy off lol. I had to do a double take from the road when I saw his car!

I see you mention image wheels..

They are some of the sickest replicas I ever seen. Maybe to good to be true. The price is one thing.

But hey! every wheel manufacturer have fucked up sometime, but this one scared me. At least when you considering replicas at that price range.

Im also curious why you picked esm over borbet? other than that the wheels look great on your car

Damn.. My wheels from them were gonna cost right over 2k to get them to my door...

My buddy with the red hatch is gonna get a set for his 89 wagovan.

Well like I said the Images were gonna run me 2k-ish and I was ok with that.
I made a nice trip to the bank one day and discovered a certain financial bind and my
plans to get some nice wheels, or so I thought were nice wheels, turned out to be a lot different than I had hoped. Not gonna specify but I became saddened and had to find a cheaper route but didn't want to buy a shitty wheel you see on all Hondas...
So.. after months more of searching.. I landed on the ESM page and I fell in love with the 009s (Type A reps). I then searched the Borbet Type A and they were around 1500 and I was trying to stay under 1k.. so I liked the way the 009s looked without the bolts around the edge and in the case of ESM 009Rs... Im sure they were fake.. So I went with the 009s and I couldn't be any happier with my choice! I went over each wheel checking each one out. They look like a good solid wheel and I hope they hold up better than Diamonds(which I know they will) because diamonds are garbage.

car looks aweosme man....whered you grab that nadi rep??

Well I broke my other steering wheel out of anger.... and threw it at the ground furiously..
So I needed a wheel and a good looking one fast. eBay had this for about 40$ if I recall. So I snagged it until I get my Grip Royal wheel.

Snapped my timing belt 1 mile away from my destination in Oxford, MS. sad day but to happy to care

[slowstefan]

Dammit dude, this is ridiculous. I was really hoping to be the first to rock some Borbet As on the EF chassis (on my hatch), and you completely yanked my rug. Oh well....

Still though, your car is a huge, massive inspiration for me. Keep up the good work!

Also, did you give up on your HT build thread?

Dude...I have completely forgotten about HT lolol That place is so crowded it's useless to even do shit there.. or even talk to anyone and remember who they are.

But thanks for the kind words man!

Honda-Tech is updated now.lol

[EfSedan4]

Hey man your car inspires me so much. I'm 16 years old and just purchased my ef sedan about 2 months ago I'm very much like you in the way that I'm very anal about my car. When I first saw it I knew that I had to have it, the interior is flawless and as far as the exterior other than a few small dings here and there and two small spots of rust on the drivers side rear fender its in great shape, its white just like yours too haha, as of now its sitting on some gsr blades and GC's on the stock struts, do to my very limited income (I work at a grocery store as a cashier) its hard to do what I want as quickly as I want . But as far as future plans go I'm planning on buying rokkor or raceland coilovers and using those struts with my gc springs, my srpings 8"/f and 7"/r so i should be able to go about as low as you on those hopefully anyway, as far as wheels go I'm really not sure, I really like the shakotans and also really like the rota zeros, but after seeing yours on the esm 009's it really makes me want to do some work eurolines but what suspension would you recommend other than the gc/koni setup? also what are your spring specs? The ef looks great man! keep up the good work! any help with some questions I may have will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
