why the hybrid? yes it has a cool interior/options etc..
but its slow. and its a hybrid lol

if you want deep dish rims. get a diff car make like a nissan or something.
Honda's weren't designed to hold deep dished rims. besides 16" low offset rims on a fd will look silly. the rims are too small. your better off getting an ek and putting 16" low offsetted rims on it.

fd's dont slam that well either because of the design of the suspension.
the front will slam really well but the rear isnt the best because of the set up.. it will still go low tho, but "not on its guts"

with an offset of +45 you wont get much dish or even a cool concave look on ur wheels if u want them to slam it... unless ur gonna go for major camber. but i still dont know of any camber kits for fd that can give u significant negative camber

19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear, do it

does anyone know much/had experince with the hybrid engine? like mods/servicing?

cheers.

don't bother, seriously hybrid = fuel saving vehicle, you must use the special hybrid engine oil only available at Honda, why didn't you get a VTI ? it's cheaper brand new.
from memory the oil is pretty expensive, under body is plastic trimmed and similar set up to that of the Euro, they had some sort of a fuel pump recall back in 06 I think it was.

[threesix]

the honda hybrid oil is that $$$$$$$$????

i like the extra body trim , features and i wanna save money on fuel cause i drive heaps.

then don't bother trying to make it look flash, it's designed differently from other civics for a reason.
As for the oil I'm pretty sure it's around $40-$50 for a 5L tin but that's my guess, ring the spare parts dep up and ask.
