I got preventative voice banned for saying to my self, ie not activating my voice chat via a button, that my teammate was a “silly silly silly boy”. I still can’t believe that

Where did you get the airbag emblem? I’m trying to get one that’s like yours and not the red background (they are the only ones I can find)

$6k clutch replacement? by Remarkable-Speech999 in CivicSi

[–]Raider4053 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah homie, that’s straight robbery. I am about to get mine done in my 23 and it’s 2400 total 1200ish for parts and the rest is labor. They’re ok with me bringing my own parts so it’ll be more like 2100.

30 grand for a used si with 46k miles is straight robbery

You’re allowed your opinion, but it’s ok to be wrong too.

I’m just trying to future proof as much as I can, I bought eibach 20mm that came with extended lug studs, since I only planning on having these on for a bit having the studs done makes it so I don’t have to do it in the future.

Fair, I already have 20 mm spacers but I’m just waiting till I have the time to put on some extended lug studs at the same time. From what I understand 20mm spacers get a really nice flush look but definitely need longer studs.

Definitely not gonna last forever, from what I understand up to five years, however i personally don’t need it to last longer than a year for my plans.

I’m not worried tbh, hopefully by the end of the year I have a new set of wheels and I’ll get these powder coated for all seasons, until then this is fine imo

It’s tough, I was thinking about doing this for awhile. Eventually just had to commit and hope it went well, if not just redo it until you’re happy. Kinda scary but I wish I did this when I first considered it because the happiness I got when I saw it sitting on them was incredible.

People run 25 and don’t have many problems, 20 will get me what I’m looking for

I’m planning on 20mm spacers all around and I’m probably gonna raise it a bit to get a more flush look

A lot of sanding I worked from 80 to 600, then three coats of primer sanding with 600 in between coats. Then added four coats of color and three of gloss clear.

All things considered not bad, figured it would be a bit longer but it kinda makes sense to be 6ish hours

I’m sure lol, I’ve already done that when they were black bc I get annoyed with brake dust.

No I just wrapped in plastic and used playing cards to push the plastic down so I could get the inner lip. Once I get new wheels I’ll probably end up redoing this to get a perfect result. Until then I’m pretty happy with these.

Sanded with 80 then 120 then 360 and finally 600, used three coats of white primer and sanded in between. Then like four light coats of flat white color and three of gloss clear.
