wat should i do??

[|N|]

i ve got a ek sedan 99 Gli... should i put 17" on to make it look nice?? or should i stick with stockies and put nice tyres and go for performance... i know it sounded stupid... but pls give me some advice...

[dundas]

what car mods you done atm? i rekon you should go for suspension work first... need good handling before you want to go quick mate.

[Entity]

get 17" and king springs super lows

[|N|]

yea... i already got the sus on its way .... just haven got a clear direction on wat to do next... the car is pretty much standard still... except there is an exhaust from previous owner... but i think its a crapy one...

[rAySiR]

to be honest.... u wont get much performance out of a gli...
reason being the engine is the bog std d16y4... kind like no matter how much u put in... its still gonna be a d16y4...
and its got not much punch..... i'm speakin from experience.... i own an ek1....

imo... jus make it look sweet with 17's on.... some good sussy and like make it a cruiser....change i/h/e... does that do much??? (anyone here done dat)

dats all i would do wif me ek 1 if i don't get the eg5 i'm eyeing by years end

[Trust-Me]

dont use stockies, either get vtir rims or 17s!!!
that shit looks fat!!!!
IMO

[civic_99]

as raysir just said, u cant get anything more out of a d16y4, we all know its gutless i got one (sedan) all i done to it is muffler for the looks, 17" with 205/40 falkens, Type R grille, type R headlights (home made) SIR foglights like the 99 VTiR coupe but in yellow on the way its getting shipped i ordered it overseas and SIR taillights RED&White i dont know if u've seen the ones im talking about but my car is all gonna be JDM'd soon. Shaved all the emblems, ill post some photos for you.

[luzinit]

yep i agree with everyone else's comments, just make ur car nice n clean, nice 17's n cruise around in style.>!

[|N|]

thx ppl... that helps alot ...
:D

i just bought a set of sussy off someone from this forum... :) i was gonna get a set of 17" white rims... but i was thinkin... it might slow the car down too much ... so either get 99 EM1 stockies or some nice 16".. does everyone agree with me on this?? do u guys think a carbon firbre grill would me nice on my car? anyone knwos i can get it anywhere cheap?? otherwise u guys have any better options for me???

[mytoycivic]

Rice rice baby

[SiR JDM]

16's do feels lighter then 17's... but jus depends what u want...

imo dont' get carbon fibre grill

[sesshoumaru]

hmm... i reckon if you don't get something excessivly heavy (ie. a big chrome 17"), there is going to be a fairly negligable difference.

17" will suit the car, asthetically, rather nicely.

[kwayzivietnamese]

Lower is d way to go :p

[|N|]

ray.. nice white 17 s u had there.... where did they go?

[rAySiR]

ray.. nice white 17 s u had there.... where did they go?

i sold them.... i had always wanted black wheels... but yeah i did like the white 17's.... :D

if u want some help pm me... :D

[|N|]

if u want some help pm me... :D

i would love to... but short of cash ... just got myself a new head unit... then have to do sussy .. gosh ... $ is never enf... :o

[dundas]

as mytoycivic said "rice baby rice"
dats it mate. if you aintgonna get power outt it...feed it some rice ^_^

[vtc]

Id personally say go with 16's... You improve the look of your car at the same not weighing it down... Its not gonna make a huge difference but it does help... I went from 17's to 15's and it felt like i got a new engine or sumtin.. car responds so much better..

[kwayzivietnamese]

ma car feels like it wants a new engine on 15z :p
Prob gettin too old for its age
lower it... :D

[joneblaze]

The OEM rims SirJDM posted are DC2 VTiR rims, from "series I" 94+ DC2s. I have a set I'm willing to let go for the right price. PM if interested.

[revolution]

:cool: Go for the 16's if u want bigger rims..17's are too big in my opinion. but I would still go for the 15's thou..LoL...

[Perry]

i got a EK1 as well and the performance isnt that good and plus i had zepters 17's b4 and the performance isnt that really great coz the mags was heavy,

but seriously if you want to go for looks then big wheels, lowered the car yeah thats good, but if you have in mind about performance then you might as well get good size wheels and stuff im speaking from experience i ended later on wanting performance and changed everything =)

Do you have ne pics? Price?
PM pics and price buddy, and maybe ill take em off your hands :)

[lilphil]

get 17" or mayb even 18" rims n drop the shit outta it mate!

[DTJ]

i'v got 18's on my eg, looks really nice dropped but really slows my car down

[[[d a n n y]]]

17" is too big for ur car..

16" lowered about 2.5 " will b great cruiser..

oh..and dont spend performance money. on your car..

u wont get anything out of it..:p

thx jone! they really suit the EG imo and they were free so http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif :D

Original honda alloys are a cheaper alternative than new rims (in nearly all cases) it doens't like ricey n yea.. its a good look i rkn..

snap up jonez rims will they're still available

[|N|]

i m gettin sussy done within this week.... but that aint gonna look good on my stock 14" wheels...

[civic_99]

white rims on white car? I wouldn't recomend it go for something like bronze or gunmetal... that'll look sweet IMO!

[na]

turbo the beast...bolt on turbo kit

[rAySiR]

imo white on white would look nice... (look at pic) :D
well i like white on gunmetal as well... or black would look nice as well :p
but its all a personal preference....

[|N|]

white is cool.. i have always wanted white rims .. i reckon 16" shall do the trick...
by the way guys.... gettin my sussy done tmr... is $180 for labour includin a 4 wheel , wheel alignment a reasonable price??

[joneblaze]

What is the "sussy" setup? Springs? Damper + Spring package? Coilovers?
$180 for installation including an alignment is a good price. Where are you having the work done?

[|N|]

springs plus damper... gettin it done tmr at west ryde.. the dunlop tyre place... its near marks and wallence or sth like that...

R u gonna use the EK4 shocks or ur stock GLi ones? Since the EK4 shocks have a shorter life I suggest you use those. And remember to tell the guy to lube where appropriate or u might have some creaking noises.

[|N|]

EK4 ones got shorter life? i got it done already ... its ek4 shocks with lowerin springs...
