yo, guys this is out of topic randomly, but can anyone tell me what these hoses are for as i need to know asap. regards to intake arm for FD2

im assuming that 1 of them is a breather.
Also is it possible for these two hoses to be connected to 1 with a T-piece connector?

sorry for bad pictures.

how much did it ended up costing for the gold ones? and what are the spec, did you have to do any alterations or did they come with hassle free spec which you mentioned about earlier ?

[ekdez]

The wheels i go for aren't exactly the "hassle free ones", new rims are Fx8.5 +25 and Rx9.5 +30 :|

Both sets of LM's you see above the gold and the silver ones, were both 18x8 +35 and 18x9 +35.
The gold set cost me $3200, and the Silver set cost me a little more.

On the gold ones i ran 225/40r18 tire. And this scrubbed MAJORLY on the rear and front without any body work. By body work i just mean rolling the rears and a tiny bit of pulling and also cutting some of your front guards out of the way and pushing the prong things upwards.

In the end, i sold them cos i cbf hearing the screeeeppp every time i went over a pot hole.

Silly me missing the LM's, i ended up buying the same specs in silver which i still run to this day.. but instead of running the 225/40 i got a tire change to a 215/40r18. and no scrubbing.

i actually had my LM's up for sale not long ago, but i decided to keep them for the track =].. If you want a nice fitment, i'd choose kitbkk's LM's his are 18x8.5 +35 and 18x9.5+35 and in the silver too.. all the other ones you see on this forum have shit offsets and have gutter rash here and there.. i mean whats the point in buying new rims which look used

[ekdez]

p.s. if you like the look of the LM"s

just remember there are other alternatives like the SSR LM9, Work VS-XX, HRE 790-R, iFOrged Challenge or Neo or Triumph, a few Beyerns, etc..

[kawai]

hey ekdez, Ive been looking at the wheels with the deep dish, do i still look for the same offset or they are completely different?

[ej20i]

yea they will
i use to ride on em
and i got a set that im trying to get rid

[ekdez]

hey ekdez, Ive been looking at the wheels with the deep dish, do i still look for the same offset or they are completely different?

you wont get "deep dish" on a civic fd.
its just a fact of life. Honda's weren't made for "deep dish", if you wanted that grab a nissan or a lexus etc..
having said that they can get very close.. but just remember some body work will be needed.
wait till i get my new rims and ill show you.

i know there is a guy on this forum, threesix, and his rims have a credit card length of dish on the rear and a bit more then half on the front =]

curious to know how much stig or ivan have tho..

[Fung]

ehh~ i was trying to find this post, never knew its a sticky now =]
ekdez, your dp stole all my attention from the FDs =P
