Polished my HX rims: http://www.civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=2
pics with the HX rims on:
The first thing I noticed is that going from 205/45/16 to 195/60/14 is a much nicer ride over bumps. with the 16" wheels on, some bumps would send the back wheels in the air and my ass up from the driver seat! That has only happened once so far with the 14". The cornering is not as crisp with the 60 series sidewall, not to mention that the rims are 5.5" wide. So there's a little roll with the 195 width tire. But the sticky grip of the Azenis RT615 compensates. They stay glued to the road compared to the 5 year old Kumho 712's. Each set of wheels gives the car a different look, both of which I like. So I'll probably be changing shoes from time to time

lol exact same thing that AddictiveAllMotor said to me. I was looking for a stock Si/EX lip for cheap, or if I find a good deal on a CF one then I'll pick it up.
Right now getting the turbo installed is at the top of my list!
I'm going to be selling my condo ASAP and buying a house soon. Right now I have to drive over a rounded curb to enter my development. My civic scrapes sometimes leaving if I don't get the exit angle right. The Mustang exhaust scrapes almost every time when I enter
That's one reason I'm moving, the other is I'm getting married next year
If all goes well, the new crib will have a 3 car garage, or maybe some kind of building in the back that can be my work shop
a couple more pics wit the HX's

haha dude, I am never polishing HX's again. I'd guess I have 8+ hours into each rim.
Installed some suspension goodies:

keeping this thread updated...
Also... I finally weighed my EG
First of all, I'm not sure how accurate these truck scales are... I'm a little suspicious because I thought my car would be heavier then it is...
So it Weighed 2100 lbs exactly. But that was 5 mins after I has just topped off the tank. And I was in the car. And so were all of my tools.
so:
2100 lbs
- 160 lbs (me)
- 25 lbs (tools)
= 2015 lbs
- (what's a full tank of gas weigh?)
___________
well under 2000 lbs
So I figure with the extra weight of the turbo & FMIC installed, I'll be right around my original goal of 2000 lbs
Here's everything for that. I forgot to put the 450cc injectors, resistor box, and walbro 255 LPH in the pic. So besides that, I have everything I can think of to install it with the exception of a couple vacuum lines.
another pic of the snail:
The engine has 1000 miles now and runs perfect!
