Noob - EG vti help

Aye
As you have guessed I am a noob with a few idea's for my 94 vti. Paid 7200 with fair new tyres. 134000 clocked. Thought that was a fairly decent deal.

I have some 18" with some nice tyres, not sure will find out. These rims are worth 2k which im getting for 800 w/tyres apparently and have only been driven for about 15mins. The noblets are still their clearly. Will 18"s fit under the guards without noise? What are my options if they do? aint been lowered and i like it at this height.

also as a cheap thing, im thinking of taking out the ?eyelet's? (The little pieces of out-of-place looking plastic under the front lights). my idea is to remove the plastic and put in some mesh. id like to set this car apart by the subtle changes. How subtle are 18"s on an eg!

can these eyelets be taken out with ease and how hard would it be to put mesh in.

air intake. is it worth a cold intake or just filter? Would it be worth the getting the pipe or just the filter?

all up im looking to spend around 2-3k
-800 (rims)
about 2k left
what would anyone recommend and help with topics is greatly thanked

thanks all who help, to those who dont, grow a welt

save up your money an do a engine conversion! Thats my opinion.

F-that
sorry mate but i want a car which looks nice and has a lil more guts then stock. i am only 18 and dont want to pour money in with no future value. the rims i can take off and put on other car. they look fair sweet.

Ok first of all 18” are way too big for a little civic. It will slow you down so much and the ride quality will suck.

In regards to the air filter get a panel filter that fits in your standard airbox and rip out the resonator and all the rest of the junk underneath the airbox. This is a much better option than a pod filter on a short ram intake.

Grab yourself a twin loop muffler from one of our traders (TODA_AU or EGSi) and take it to your local exhaust shop for a custom cat back 2” system.

I would seriously rethink the 18” but that’s just me. I’d rather have some racy looking 16” than massive chrome things. Not to mention tires cost a mint.


i hope this helps.

agrees with loosing the 18s.

dont mean to dampen your hopes dude, and hey at the end of the day if its what you want to do, then go for it!!!!

18s not good coz too big, as ctr said it will slow you down... cost u money when the cops defect for having oversized rims and all that ladida...

better off getting smaller rims and dropping the car on its ****, gets some strut bars....

what the f***k are ppl allways saying that

Hes clealy not even asking any real proformance questions, hes after looks :D

engine conversion = cheater. work with what you have till ya kill it then maybe heheh

I think 18" may be to big man tho they would loook cool :p

these 18" have 3 fairly thin spokes. I have already bought em. If they dont fit i will keep em long term or sell em. They are new and so are the tyres.

I have elected that $2000 towards other stuff like air filters and exaust. I dont expect to much for that but whatever works best and gives a lil more grunt with only a bunt.

thanks again guys

Get 16's and work on suspension.

Take it for a bit of tracking.

Engine conversions are over rated.

usin smaller wheels with give u much more gain then havin 18s and then mod exhaust etc.


btn OMFG... chi is back

i got an eg vti too n with 17s n honestly its enuff as it is, 18s will give u to much trouble, imo i say get 17s, they'll suit civic more n less trouble..

Yup :thumbsup:

I'm going 17" :p :p :p

I know I shouldn’t and I’ll more than likely lose power but I just love the look of EG’s dumped on 17”

18s dont hamper the performance that much, Ive had them on my vtir for 4 days already and its not that bad..

Tread your looking at about 170 a corner for something like 215/35/R18.. The tread by all means isnt the best you could buy, im using nankangs at the moment and they're fine for street use.
