rocking the SOHC, i love it. but, i must say, change those black rims, they just take away from the car, big rims on a civic equal no. not just for looks, but for performance. when ur car goes into a turn it pushes the tire when its turned. the tire sways and u need a lil tire flex to maintain traction. if it has a stiff wall, it does what drift cars do with there rear wheels as to your front ones. why do u think guys whom race scca, indy, or damn neart any other kind of race car, they always have some meat on there tires.

it's a civic, not a torque monster, short sidewall = amazing handling! Plus, those wheels look great on there!

Car is very clean by the way. Did you fabricate the turbo setup yourself?
Im from Ebensburg, its a small town about 70 miles east of Pittsburgh. I've heard of connellsville before, is it close to the WV/MD border? I pieced most of the turbo kit together.

Mods that got me to 226whp..........
Turbonetics t3/t4 turbo - 11psi
Spearco FMIC
2.5" IC piping and downpipe
Tial 38mm wastegate
Turbo XS MBC
Walbro 255 fuel pump
RC 440's
B&M billet FPR and gauge
Chipped P28 tuned with Crome
MSD plug wires & dist. cap
Apexi 2.5" carbon fiber exhaust - straight through from the DP to the muffler.....no cat.

These wheels are just temporary till I find a deal on some Volk TE37's in black.
Thanks again for all the positive feedback, makes it all worth while.
