[alexelie]

^^looks really good!

 

[CTt3P5]

Thanks!!! Tires are Nankang NS-1's 215/40

They are soft but surprisingly sticky, once they grab... they go. Not so good in the rain but not a bad tire for the price

I see....just ordered tires today.

Well here are my P5 rims. The P5 itself has been up on blocks since I blew the motor last fall...

my mom got a civic like thta(but blue) and REALLY hate the electronic throttle!! When you shift you have the let the gas go for a moment THEN press the clutch because otherwise the rpm rise. I cannot shift correctly at high rpm to save my life lol. i just dont understand why they did that. horrible thing.

EDIT: but the car drive like a charm

lol drive by wire is the future of cars, but i dont like it too much either

 

[aMaff]

It's fine when properly implemented, no worse than a cable throttle and has many advantages from a performance perspective (tuneable throttle response anyone). My pathfinder has throttle by wire and I didn't notice until I had to pull the throttle body to change the plugs (yeah, you read that right)
My 01 Jetta (inherited from my brother when he moved. Can't beat cheap as free!), on the other hand, and the new Civic Si that I drove, had absolutely s*** throttle by wire systems. The Civic was at an autocross where I was instructing a novice. Early in the run I started matting the throttle just after turn-in, so that by corner exit it would maybe start giving me power. Ugh...

Yeah the DBW throttle has an issue with 'rev hang' which is a real pita. Like you said, it forces you to wait a few seconds to change gear after clutching, otherwise the revs stay up and the car jerks forward when you let the clutch out.

Luckily there's an ECU programming tool called FlashPro that completely eliminates this problem, and that was the first (and probably only) mod I did on the car.

Oh, and here's the P5 on Civic Si rims. I took them off shortly after since they don't actually fit. The hubs on the P5 are a bit too large for the Honda wheels to fit over.

 

[Hank3]

That's too bad. The Civic Si rims look nice on the P5!

 

[mazdap4+1]

look out for that rock and stick!! lol

I wouldn't call those ricey, they look nice.
