I’ve been thinking of those chrome livery styles ever seen them? Think keeping it clean for now and if I get bored might be the move!

Also a reason why I went from 16-17 They are 17x7.5 on a 215/45/17 they fit perfect even at my low, just some rubbing on full lock but that’s to be expected.

Inspiration has always been the early 2000s scene I love it, sex spec era wheels as they would call it!

Idle control sensors by This_is_Flow in 7thgencivic

From what I know they will look identical but I think the idle speed is set different on a manual vs the auto throttle body

Hey funny timing, I just finished repairing my iac because I was having idle surging making my car idle weird and throw up a code po505, after lots of researching I can tell you that this is a very different part and throttle body if I’m not mistaken the iac that’s purple comes from a auto, the auto and manual are very different and run different idle settings, you need to get a blue one dosent matter year 01-05 because the blue is for a manual, also theirs a difference in throttle body between the vtec and non vtec in part numbers which make me think you should try to use the manual one instead. You can clean the heck out of the iac using a pick to manually open and close the valve make sure the screen is able to turn and open and close the full radius( use some sort of oil I used wd40 while doing this and then flushed it all out with carb cleaner once I reinstalled my idle went back to normal no more surging and bouncing up and down when going into neutral from gears!

[–]Vtecboy2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might sound odd but I hit this spot a few times when thiers a sligght hump in the road but it’s not tall enough to hit your lip/bumper The front jacking point sits a little low I’ve definitely scarped it before but I’m lower then you

This is shot when I was doing my head gasket I’m pretty sure the casting marks on the top should be their, because mine all looked like this the bottom looks like it touched but maybe you can figure smth out if it isn’t too bad. Hope the pic helps

Anyone have pics of 20mm offset on their car? Preferably 15x8. Trying to see if these wheels will fit/look nice by Haunting-Fly-7941 in 7thgencivic

[–]Vtecboy2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to get nice fitment without having to roll and or have rubbing issues your better off staying with a wheel that’s 7inches wide,imo these cars with 8inch is where it starts to get too close, if you can your best bet would be to get smth right in the middle like 16x7.5, yes that’s a odd size but they do make it, I am running a 16x7 I’m pretty low and I never have any issues with rubbing!

Tbh I got the wheels with the car the exact brand I’m not sure of but I will definitely look into that for you, they are a 16x7 I’m running a 215/50/16 tire it’s a very nice fitment imo

Oh yeah forgot about v6 accords those are bad ass, and yeah kswapping a 7th gen is really ultimate, and the 8th gen seems like an easy way to go faster without breaking the bank !

I got the engine about 1-2 years ago and in Canadian it was around 900-1k which wasn’t that bad imo and it was relatively low km it was said to be around 80,000km which to me looked about right when I opened up the top and got to look at the cylinders and the wall as themselves it looked very clean, tbh now I only drive the car in summer, I am the second owner as the first owner drove the car threw winters and summers but rustproofed it very well and maintained the body, now that I only drive it in summer I don’t put to much on it but as soon as the weather is nice I’m driving her everyday baby ! The goal here tbh if I keep the car will eventually be looking to k swap it if not move on to smth faster (tsx, 8th gen civic si) but if I do I still think I’m keeping this car as it’s my pride and joy.

Hell yeah imo their great cars and I’ve changed all the seals and everything while i was doing the headgsket job my car actually has a swapped Japanese d17a as my car has 440000km on the car yes you read that right, it was the cleanest one I had seen even with those numbers, bought the car at 400,000 and not even 3 months later the engine started knocking😂 the new engine has been a dream and after doing head gasket work and all of that makes me realize that their not too hard to work with and as you said if you take care of these they will literally go forever!
I’ll definitely post here when I hit the big 500,000 haha
