You don't have a Catalytic converter. What're you guys gonna do, pass around the cat in front of the inspector? That things gotta be hot for it to work anyhow.

You have an unlimited wheel selection being that you're FWD and your bolt pattern is 4 x 100 mm.

I'd tag some wheels off a later model econobox in the scrapper, preferably 15 inchers.

As far as sticking with the stock wheels, 185-70R13's are the stock size for non GSL-SE 1st gens. See what they're running.

I'd go with some Kumho 771. It's a basic tire, about $40 a pop. VERY stiff sidewalls, hard rubber composition and very durable. I had them on the Civic and could do several 30 sec burnouts and lost about 1/32 of an inch of tread. (This was back when I worked at Merchants and got em for $20 a pop.)

Air them up to 45PSI cold for a good stiff ride and good handling, and remember: If they only wear out in the center, you're not cornering hard enough.

Excellent in the snow as well and good offroad as well (Back when I had the 4wd Civic Wagon, I'd hit up open construction lots after the rain.)

I don't know if i told you all what happened with the exhaust. a few flakes of metal but no chunks. the exhaust manifold is held on by 3? studs as the fourth one is stripped as hell. and i discovered that i may not be burning coolant but i certainly am cooking it because my water pump leaks like a sieve. at this point im considering selling this car to spend another 1k on another that *hopefully* won't have these problems.

Good idea, that thing had quite a few problems :O

I doubt you'll get 1K for it unless you lie about it tho :p

Is this the one with the blown rotor, right?

Water pump leaking is a $60 fix, and is easy to replace.
