Nice looking, but I think you went one size too small on the tires.

205/40 - 16 rolling diameter ~ 21.8"
205/60 - 14 (stock SE right?) rolling diameter ~ 22.7"

(22.7-21.8)/22.7 = 4%

205/45 - 16 rolling diameter ~ 22.5

(22.7-22.5)/22.7 = 0.9%

well i know,it came out of my friend civic was selling them because he got 17's. and the tires are new so i really dont wanna spend on new tires if i have new tires already. is not much of a difference anyways is like 100 rpm more @70 mph anyways my speedo is wacked up so i really cant tell hjow fast im going

DF: so far so good, some problems here and there but running way better that with the other engine, i havent step on the gas because i still havent got my microtech, it suppose to come this week but i dont have nothing yet plus im going easy on the engine, i want it to last a while

thanks
