Hell, I know them arches on an mx3, they can cope with a hell of a lot more than -90 dude and to be honest, not alot of civics run that low, most people run about -80 and also, dial the rears up on yours because reverse rake is a bad thing :wink:
Apart form that, car's looking sweet man :)
-
Absolutley no reverse rake on here dude I flipped the front coilover mount around to gain more low upfront. Next spring I'll do the same to the rear and lower another 20mm or so allround.
Meh get yourself on stanceworks every civic on there is a proper frame scraper.
:wink:

Present to myself for the car this year is these
alu chrome gauge rings. Going to wait to fit these till I have my
speedhut dials that the wife bought me for Christmas and I want
to finish it all off with a nice miata momo or nardi torino steering wheel :D
-
Ended up buying an RX7 FD3S black leather Momo steering wheel
as I wanted a nice chunky 3 spoke and the miata ones are a bit spindly
looking..supposedly its a 350mm diameter wheel so a bit smaller than stock
MX-3 ones. I do hope it fits!
Also third time lucky at the breakers I managed to remove the ECU thus giving me access to the plugs and lots of flying lead to be able to start making the loom for the AEM piggback, so spent all afternoon with the multimeter & wiring diagrams drawing up the plans for it on the dining room table of course…
There seem's to be a few differences here and there between US & UK models, but not a massive deal hopefully and its becoming quite apperent now how similar or not it is to the MX-5. The donor wiring harness also has
an annoying TIMEC immob. box that'll have to removed or work around.
-
That wheel looks great. I'm thinking about getting reverse glow gauges too, but from Moman, be interested to see how yours turn out though.
-
Best looking one I could find for £50! saw loads nicer ones but they were mega bucks, probably as they had JDM in the title,lol
The dials I have coming are not revers glow just plain EL-glow so the complete face is green during day and night so should match the clock and most of the other dash illuminations then.
-
Like Christmas all over again today :D
Steering wheel came with a free quick release boss!
green spudhut dials arrived too! Quality looks really good on them.
On hold now though till the bathrooms fitted which starts next weekend.
-
sweet deal on the wheel! I have those alu rings, they're a nice touch. Makes normal dashes look like they were missing them all along.
-
Got lucky fo sure doubt the Fella knew what it was.
I know I have been admiring yours, its funny that the miata got them but we didnt… think they would look real subtle painted black.
-
Wow, looking forward to seeing those dials in the dash!
-
Me too might have to incorporate a few extra days off work whilst doing DIY wink wink.
-
Because practical race car :D
