Default 89 civic sedan.

Hey guys. This is my 89 civic sedan. Nothing really done to it right now, but i have plans for it soon.

When i first got it:


Then put ebay sleeves/springs on, minus the sleeves:


Tried out some 17's, and it looked like crap:


Got these:






Newer photos:




Then, i got rear ended. Not bad, but ruined my trunk:


Now, for the new:
These will be on this week. Getting 165/45/15 tires. 15x9, 0 offset all the way around. And also getting raceland coils:




This is my previous car. 1999 vw jetta 2.0, with corvette wheels:

That might look good. I plan on doing my wheels white faced, with polished lips.

so... i kinda chickened out.


i went the safe route and got 15x8, 0 offset front, and 15x9, 0 offset for the rear.

everybody seems to be sold out of the hyper silver xxr 002's, so i just got two of the (8's) in hyper silver, and the (9's) in black with a polished lip. it doesnt really matter though, because i was going to powder coat them. hahaha.


im having a bit of trouble finding tires though.

looking for 165/45/15's for the front, and 195/45/15's for the rear.

i will post up pictures of wheels and whatnot when they get there.


oh oh, and i also bought racelands. =DDDDD

Happy your tires aren't beefy, everytime I see someone try to "stance"<-- (i **** this word) one of these on these wheels they buy tires that are way too beefy.

But, Nice man in for more

I **** beefy tires. Haha.

I really want 165/45/15s for my 9" wides... But, i feel like that is too crazy.

The only other low profile tire i can use is 195/45/15.

i test fit my wheels today. just the 8" wides though. i am still waiting on the 9" wides, and more tires. i will post pics asap.

also. got my racelands in today, only to find out that i am in need of 92-95 civic lower forks to make them fit properly, because when they designed them for civic's, the used their forks.... shm.

junkyard run tomorrow. hopefully they have them so i can install my coilovers, and get off this damn ebay spring shit/blown struts.


lkasjdf;lkajsd;lkjasdflk <---- frustrated at today.
thanks

So, i ended up playing around with my coilovers a bit more today, and came up with this result:







And im gonna tell you how i did it. First off, the raceland springs are entirely too tall. So i took my ebay coilover sleeve springs, and put them on the raceland struts.

It rides like poop, but im honestly just going for looks here.

Im getting my 9"s mounted right now. Bought 195/50/15 tires. I wanted 195/45/15, but everywhere is out about a week. So i got them. Itll be nice to have spare tires anyways.


Ill post more pics later.
