R Lucy.

I have found only one company that makes exactly what I want (and confirmed fitment to clear the brakes/suspension inside the wheel): BC Forged RZ05 18x9.5 +60

https://bcforged-na.com/monoblock/rz05/

about $3800 for the set.

Heyyy,
These wheels look suspiciously like my MITA Motorsports FKS wheels, which totally did not copy any BBS wheel designs, at all. I promise.

All I know is what I read...

I am also aware that I worry a lot, and that in theory theory and practice are the same, yet in practice they are not. i.e. in theory the scrub radius should affect handling, in practice it might not.

similarly for the clearance, I read, and saw pictures that 275/35R19 should fit without rubbing on OEM suspension, and, if I recall correctly, even on lowered suspension. so in theory, the tire should fit...

I hit the front deflector rubber strip, that runs the width of the car under the front lip, each time I drive out of my driveway onto the street, since my driveway slopes down to the street which has a slight crown (center of the street higher than the sides), so the car is angled downward and the street is angled upwards. so in theory, taller tires might lessen or eliminate this issue.

in theory.... there's always a trade off brotha.

Big surprise right? LOL. not in this day and age. The only thing keeping global domination at bay are tariffs.

Nice, congratulations, enjoy

HondaCare is a ripoff in CA.

Out of state dealers are not allowed to sell it in CA, and the CA stealerships sell it for $3k or more

But if you know how to mess with HTML, you can get it from out of state dealers for about $1k

I got the 8/100 for $900

note that you can cancel the HondaCare and purchase from out of state. I did it for my dad when he was convinced to purchase one by the sleazy salesman.

Looking into this today zumbooruk, Thanks.

At face value, I can save myself a minimum of $700 on the VSC alone. I need to find where everything is itemized in my final contract. I currently have 7/120, + wheel & tire, paint & dent + glass, w/ free brake + rotor and lifetime OC's.

What I got was the D80 plan from an out of state dealer.
I had to mess with the JavaScript and/or HTML to get them to sell to a California address.
Price is a bit higher than what I paid a year and a half ago

Before sunrise, we took a 200 mile cruise for some side quest parts (not pictured). I felt it was only fair to install some parts on Lucy.

While I’m not 100% happy with the protection these MegaChip knockoffs offer, they’re better than nothing for the time being. I’ll have to come up with something.

Went on a quick shoot with a macro lens, and surprisngly it ate!! Normally, I don't like shooting this car. I just can't seem to find "it." But, yesterday was fun. Outside of a crop, no edits, i can live with this.

Morning, everyone. Decided to launch my journal the other night. It’s been a while since I’ve done something like this, at least purely out of passion. I’ve also just started an IG page. While I haven’t shared it, shared it, I have alluded to it.

I want the follower base to grow as organically as possible. I’m a love it or hate it type, no in-between. I don't jump for trends. Real or fake it better function.

I play well with others. Yet, I am just fine by myslef. I expect no less.

As it unfolds, I’ll figure out how to structure it all. It’ll closely follow the journal, I’m sure. But, with already owning a red FL5, I’m mentally fighting this “pick me” trend I’ve been noticing. Anyway, if you’re an old-school forum guy, I’m sure you know how to find it all without me saying anything more.

I tend to drive my square body suburban for most instances, it seems to wake up some of these clowns

Unfinished business....

This post won't make the blog—but, I had to get the spoon rad cap on. Rummaging around out there in the garage I found some items I had forgotten. Like, this poor mugen towel, knocking about, a remnant from my wife's build back in 05 and my C's reservoir cover. The towel will become my dash mat, beats wasting away in a tote.
