    So! First update of the new thread and its a big one :)

    The new tires and wheels came in today! 245/40/17 Dunlop Z1 for the front and 225/45/17 Z1 for the new rear wheels size 17x7.5 +48

    These things are HUGE!

    The fedex guy also dropped of my King Motorsports ball joint inserts for the DC5R control arms...



    .
    .

    Last but not least the spare manifold Ive been working on. Thanks to Andre (gtimportfanatic) for hooking me up with a spare manifold!
    What Ive done is shave the 2 fins off as well as some other little unnecessary bumps in the mold. Ive also tapped the stock brake booster breather port to 3/8 npt and installed an AN fitting setup.







    .
    .

    Compared to my original completely stock manifold on the car now:

    Manifold looks great!! Did you paint it after the shaving, or is it just polished? I only ask because I painted my manifold with really high temp paint, but the paint is now bubbled up from the heat of the radiator. Wanna sell your other manifold?

    Thanks, yeah I painted it after shaving, I also painted the original and its been on there for 25k miles with no issues. I use duplicolor engine enamel on all my stuff it holds up great. The stock one will be on the car for a bit longer, and Andre has dibs since he gave me this one for free.

    Nice website and photos btw!

    I'm in Wakefield! I had a DD Accord for awhile, so I never used to drive the Si, but now the Civic is my daily. Do you the guys at Wicked Innovations?

    Wow, 245/40/17's!! I just got 235/40/17's and think they are massive. I'm surprised your putting those on a 7.5" rim. I was planning on mounting my 235's on a 7 inch rim but now I'm not sure after seeing them.

    Edit: Now that I look at the Z1 specs, the 235's and 245's are almost identical.

    235 = 8.5" tread width & 9.6" section width
    245 = 8.5" tread width & 9.8" section width

    The 245's are actually going on the 17x9's I already have, 2 of which are being replaced with the 17x7.5's with 225's.

    Oh, IC.

    Have any 17x8+ 4x100 used wheels kicking around the shop for me?

    Actually, can wheels be widened? Could I get my 17x7's made into 17x8's?

    Nah, the only 17's we use are for our Koni Challenge car and theyre 5x114.

    You can have wheels widened, but it would be cheaper and easier to sell yours and pick up a set with the right sizing.
