I had a free one I could have picked up, it just needed a motor. It was a 93' 4 door auto. I didn't have a place to store it so I had to pass.
I had been trying to do a lemons team for a long time, but realized among the people I knew that would be interested I would be doing most of the work and contributing most of the funds so axed it. It is not cheap and takes a lot of time.

My team is running a 96 civic DX.
Course my friend got the car a few years ago when it was still dirt cheap. Thankfully he is a mechanic. The only thing we are paying for work wise is the cage. Everything else is being done by them in their garage. |

Random Question for everyone: What do you guys think of have extra holes on the wheels? What I mean is some wheels have extra bolt pattern setup (5x100/5x114.3) &/or extra holes to keep the wheels light. You like it or don't care? Just had quick debate w my buddy and I personally don't like of extra holes on the wheels. I understand the weight reduction part, but just visually don't like em. |

I don't really care. I am not too picky when it comes to cosmetics. I think among those that are, the big deal is it makes them look like cheap wheels that have multiple bolt patterns.

I have a bunch of buddies that are Honda guys. They have backyards littered with D series engines left over from swaps, and 5 speeds.

Haha that pic is just an example. Either way rotors are painted to avoid rust anyways. Like you said, only crazy enthusiast will even notice and even those will know that certain wheels have those extra holes.

Paint lasts on your rotors? And I mean at the hub, not on the disc face...

but that of course comes more from my past, seeing everyone leave pepboys with a new set of wheels with multiple lug patterns on them... i equate it with cheap disposable poser wheels. even if some of them aren't very cheap.

Sometimes love for all living creatures running on the streets can cost you $200 on a replacement wheel.
