how about white on your red car like this

RarestRX 12-27-01 10:13 AM

Yo,


That car is sick. I love the JDM red with white rims. Not to mention the A032R's and the JDM sticker placement. I'm not crazy about the N1's, but without the rear wing they don't look too wild. Clean car!

damnnnnnn....
 
i cant see the freakin pic!!!

turborotor 12-27-01 07:29 PM

Here is my picture

Just to warm some people, don't know if some agree with me but the 3rd gen rims and spacer combos ruins the handling of the FC, My car never runs str8 anymore and the handling is affected some what, makes it very unpredictable.

Even after numerous alignments and new parts. I'm getting rid of mine as soon as I can get tires for my other rims.

They do make the car look great.

Scott 89t2 12-27-01 08:48 PM

are you sure there is nothing else wrong?... I can't see how they would effect going straight. lots of alignments isn't really going to help since you can't change any settings but the toe unless you have a rear camber link or front camber plates... maybe one of your rims is bent?

Maxthe7man 12-27-01 08:53 PM

Yeah that is true about the handling, alot of the tuner wheels that fit the FC are front wheel drive offset, and they sit a little to far out, and causes wierd handling quirks with wider tires, and I suppose the FD wheels are the same when fitted with a spacer..
I put 16x7.5 asa's on my GX(se) n/a and the handling improved, yet worsenedd at the same time, its a cornering demon now, but it tracks weired on grooved or uneven road surfaces.. I added a strut tower brace and it cleaned it up quite a bit, I think some better springs and struts may help as well, but proper offset from the beginning would have cost less money...Max

Scott 89t2 12-27-01 08:59 PM

the tracking and groving just comes from bigger rims and stiffer tires. upgrade once more to 17's and it'll get worse.

the fd rims with spacers would be no different then rims with the correct offset....

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT INITIAL D STICKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

vaughnc 12-28-01 10:42 AM

not my car but I'd imaging they sell them somewhere in Japan. I bet aerodyne could find you one if you asked them. You might want to include a link to that picture in your email to help them out.

TurboII RudeBoy 12-29-01 05:00 PM

aye yo JAMIE, hit me up at condolence187@aol.com ight yo.
i'm selling the third gens though need $$:mad:
anyone interested?

classic_italian 12-29-01 05:19 PM

can someone explain to me how to put 3rd gen rims on a 2nd gen i am very interested yet very confused???

TurboII RudeBoy 12-29-01 05:23 PM

the back is fine, but thefront u ned to run spacer that u can pick up anywhere either 5/16 or like 22 mm i think, and u have to run 205 ties in the front

classic_italian 12-29-01 05:28 PM

oh cool easy enough ..... how mutch do 3rd gen rims go for?

87GTR 12-29-01 06:54 PM

ummmmmmm
use the H&R 25mm spacers.
all around beucase if you dont use them in back your wheel going to stick way inside. you'll look like a honda drag car.

and you can run 225 in the front.
im running 225/50/16 front but a 225/45/16 would be better.
and 245/45/16 in the rear.
the only reason I had to use 225/50 in the front as it the only 225 size the Yoko A032R's come in, in 16"

with no problems.

you can go here to see how the spacer look

some parts

vnova94 01-22-02 06:42 PM

You don't have any problems running 225's up front? I have the 25mm H&R spacers all around with 225 ZR's. I get some serious fender rubbing over some bumps with that size tire. Did u adjust the front camber to avoid rubbing the fender lip?
