I had a friend do that in high school on his civic.
Also had to use vice grips for the windows...

It also had random chair cushions for the rear seats...

Oh yea, well I can go flapping all day in my AT, let's see you do that...on second thought no one wants to see you doing that so you made the right choice.

Is there a spacer that can be added behind the stock wheel to push it towards the driver? I put "steering wheel spacer"in Google but all the options look like they are for racing wheels

I watched a video on steering wheel installation... I see that most hubs have a cavity for the air bag wires and resistors. Then a plate with a splined post fits over it(we will call this "mount plate" as your wheel mounts to it). If your airbag wires were longer.. and this mount plate had a hole in it for wires to pass thru... would this not effectively push your steering wheel out without sacrificing your airbag?

Random thought: what is the English word for "Tropfsteinhöhle" (dripping Stone cave) a cave with Stalagmites and Stalactites.

I believe we call it a "cave" here in the states. We're not very imaginative with our names over here.

Actually, that's the difference between a cave and a cavern. A cavern is a cave with the stalagmite and stalactite formations.

I legitimately googled this as I thought you were trolling. Learn something new everyday

Nope! But I do miss the old kool aids that came in the bottle shaped plastic bottles. Also Hi-C's.

Put on the RCE Yellows and the 15mm spacers in front and 20mm spacers in the back. Still on stock wheels and tires and this just makes the car looks so much better. More aggressive stance without scraping, wheels are flush, and the fender gap is smaller and the same width all the way around.

Pictures or gtfo

Also, where did you buy the springs from? Still hunting for the best deal, but it seems there is little price variants between vendors. Wonder if there will be a summer sale coming up
