(if they work)

you took the game

and killed it

respect

damn.

As previously mentioned, those bumpers are worth QUITE A BIT here, as a set of matching front and rear eBay fakes run about 350$ new. Not to mention, the hatchback never even got the IDEA of a sunroof, folding mirrors (not even the Si got those), power mirrors, windows, the whole nine. Does it have keyless entry by some odd chance? Only our EX and Si trim got that. On the other hand I can not even begin to fathom how slow that D14 is. Our standard DX/LX Civic's got the D16y7 and it is often mocked for it's pathetic performance (GREAT fuel economy though.)

On an upbeat note, glad to see you fixed that rust. It seems only the hatchbacks rust out really bad here in North America. They have really poor moisture pockets and rear drainage systems, collecting all that water and moisture near the rocker panels, quarters, and right near those rear toe arms. My last hatch had very rusty toe arms, I didn't even go near them and feared getting an alignment, I knew they would break.

Best of luck, I'll be following this for sure.

Edit: PULL OUT those rear quarter panel rubber strips going along the lip edge. Those collect moisture REALLY bad on these cars.

i will be changing the lips in the front making them 9". also i will probably make new radius fenders all around. will replace the entire undercarriage. will also add new disc brakes in the front and rear. i need to use the key to open the doors. no keyless, but it is a central system.

My vote on the steering wheel is down. I don't think I've ever seen one actually. Also if you can cram 11 inch wide wheels under the arches I will be bloody impressed.

i will make new fenders. the camber needed to make this fit is possible but would not in my opinion look good..

[stbk]

Kinda having a struggle to choose the tyres. 165.45 on the 8s and 215.40 on the 11s. the stretch looks fairly matching.

[stbk]

So i got the wheels home. delivered the centers to the wheel refurbisher.. 3-4 months waiting time to get them polished. took it safe and went with the oem silver for both RS and LM. the RF got gunmetal grey.

also got hold of 4 new 6.5" outer lips. making my wheels 10.5 front and 11.5 rears. it will look a bit better with matching lip up front.

i actually got hold of two 8" outer lips. but they where a bit egg shaped the seller told me, so i said pass on those because of the extra costs of getting them fixed.

i need to start thinking how i should form my fenders. i wanna try and go for the RB look on the fenders if i can make it. I just need to jump at it one day and see how it goes.

OH MY GOD.

Im super jealous right now.
