Kind of reminds me of the Merc AMG GT-S. Looks good though.
Iāll replace the rims with black ones when I get some extra funds or ill just get them painted black
HOLD IT HORIZONTAL, HOMIE
A coworker is looking into getting an accord herself, says she just about had it with her history of used, broken domestic cars hahaha.
I think this summer, I might finally pull these out(WARNING, another huge horizontal pic, sorry odin):
Spoiler
They have been sitting in this box in my office for damn near 3 years now LOL. In the past, every time I think about swapping my OEM suspension with these, I get reminded of the winters here and how much it would destroy the coil overs. But now that I got a truck, I might just keep my Si as a summer ride. Any one got any suggestions for a reputable JDM aftermarket wheel distro or business that sells advan wheels and such? The plastidip was great on dressing the ugly oem wheels, but I think itās about time to upgrade to a better looking set of wheels.
Anyway, not sure if you all know but my knee got fucked to a point that I had to get surgery. Itās been 4 weeks since I got work done on it and the other night, with the assistance of my robocop knee brace, I was able to swing my leg over my bike and balance it off the kick stand with out any issues. Maybe Iāll be able to putts around this season on the gsxr, not sure about riding track again, but more so some lame group riding. But videos like this aināt helping wanting to put on my power ranger suit and throw my knees down again:

iām not happy that itās 150+k and doesnāt perform better than a 911. probably still outperforms ferrari though.
Blonde lady makes me tail happy.
Iām BROKE EDIT:
Well, after having my haggard set of plastidip OEM wheels go through several winters and getting rashed up. I finally decided to drop some money on a set:
Had a difficult time deciding if I should go with gold or matte black, but after checking out similar cars with gold or black wheels, seems like to me, unless I went with BBS with a chrome lip, I think going with an all black finish will go good with my black Si. Also swapping out my suspension with my BC BR type coil overs in the near future. Hopefully all goes well and Iāll be keeping this car as a non-winter daily.
I āracedā an Ford focus st the other day.
He pulled on me.
Sure I had another person and my steel 3 ton Jack, but thatās no excuse. I want to buy the tuner to push 17 psi, Iām not even at the stock 15 psiā¦
one of our regulars at the store owns a McLaren 650S (and a bunch of other high-end ānormalā cars). itās bright orange. when he drives up in it we try our best to embarrass him. he always leaves with his face red 
anyway, iām tired of practical. i want my next car to be retard caveman strong. can anybody point me in the right direction to learn about diesel engines? my current idea is putting a Cummins 12 valve in an Ford Bronco.
Cummins, a cummins recently won some diesel competition on motor trend hosted in Denver.
I like the powerstroke from Ford. Let eme ask my friend whose all about diesel and see where the best places are.
Try some forums, but these dudes are often are very zealous about brand loyalty.
even tho those fords are the turbo ones, your car must be pretty slow. idk why people think its cool to race anyways.
Itās just a srt4, and I like to play with people on occasion with a single pull. You swear Iām going 60+ on the street. I keep that shit to backroad driving or occasional drag strip.
So the site I ordered the Advan wheels werenāt in stock, but are in Japan. Going to be a minute, but they are going to throw in hub centric rings for free so thatās cool. I decided to go with 17x9 with a +35 offset as the oem Si wheels are 17x7 and I like the size but wouldnāt mind going a bit wider. Also contemplating on how low Iād want to set the coil overs. So far Iām thinking an inch drop for no rubbing or having to get spacers/roll fenders. And the roads here can be shitty, also will probably auto cross the car this summer, which Iām thinking about getting after market pads, and maybe camber arms.
Later down the road, Iāll probably swap out the clutch for are more performance oriented one, and to remedy the annoying noise I get from 1/2 gear when I start moving from a stop. I wanted to slap the service writer when I told him not only do I have this issue but so do pretty much everyone else and he tells me āItās your VTEC thatās causing itā Fucking service writersā¦all they are good at is pitching a sale on tire rotations and cabin air filters.
is your SI a9th gen?
My sister has something like that when you take off under load and it makes a rubbing noise from the clutch area.
yep, if you check out the 9nth gen forums, nearly everyone has this issue. Honda, ironically, is being very quiet about it, and have not put out a recall to get the clutch issue fixed. I heard it is the springs that are causing this. And some people were lucky or very persistent enough to have their local dealer get it warrantied or flat out fixed for no cost. Considering that I will probably autox/track it, I might as well just get the oem swapped out for aftermarket and kill 2 birds with one stone.
I just read on that and its grimey as shit. Gonna have to go with my sister and pester them.

Thatās not making me feel confident.
Yeah, its bull that Honda hasnāt made this a recall, but this isnāt the first time either. When I owned a 13 cbr1000rr with abs, the abs was crap and other owners had same problems, but the dealer, and Honda ignored the issue. Honda was known for their build quality, but not so much anymore.
Regardless, Iāll still keep my Si as clutches can be replaced and the car is decent enough to hang on. But if I ever own another honda bike or car it will be when their shit wasnāt so shitty
