moar front bumper parts in the mail. yay! I will attempt to put them on today...
Ran through my first full tank of gas...20mpg combined city/highway. I didn't think that was too shabby!
My excitement was short lived though. Pulled out from the gas station, and the car started running weird? It was surging at idle, from 500-1200 RPM's, and seemed to be stuttering a little bit in the lower RPM range when driving. Getting ready to head to work now...we'll see if it persists.

Will 235-40x18 fit on stock rims? What offset would I have to do? Rolling?
Edit: after some searching, I received my answer.

did you get the fmic installed yet? still interested in seeing how you installed it
Not installed yet, I take small baby steps lol. Looked around for an intercooler, bought it, checked it out up close - looked fine to me. Just painted now (only one side):
Need to order my piping now

looks good...good luck if you plan on going with the cxracing piping route...cause its not exactly easy lol. had to do a lot of cutting of the bumper lip and radiator cover, had to bend the horn out of the way and had to remove the washer tank.
Haha I know. Luckily since there are about 100000000000000000 honda fan boys where I live I ended up getting the 92-95 civic windshield washer tank for $15 (headbang). I will be cutting the back of the bumper to make this core fit yes, Also will have to cut a lot of the crash bar. Horns are meh, I could probably relocate those if it's an issue lol.
This core should fit almost flush with the grille in the front bumper after I measured.

at some point this year i need to redo the fmic core.. i want bigger and don't like how the cxracing sits just tiny bit below the bumper but not below the black plastic lip. i will also need to cut the crash bar. hey its all good fun in the end.
i recently just installed the steedspeed exhaust manifold..what a pain in the ass it was since i broke a bolt on the turbo side and had to drill it out and such lol.
keep me posted on your progress tho since i want to get the same intercooler core
Will do! Yeah I've looked at all the front mount kits + custom kits for our car and I wasn't too impressed. All of them sit under the crash bar or under the front bumper. Again I'm goin to cut a lot... I don't care as much for my car anymore I've had for 3+ years it's got no warranty blah blah blah. As long as it's all behind the bumper.
This is my plan A:
Not sure if I'll be able to run the piping behind it though (again all custom) but we'll see.
If nothing then option B:
Intercooler is already painted black for sleeper status yo. I'm gunna get the cp-e tow plate too for maximum air flow. When everything is 100% complete on + tuned, I will take pics of everything.

They are OEM parts.
This is a pic of Leia when she was bone stock on the lot.
I am missing the front lip splitter (and the hardware with it), due to me running over a toy box two years ago.
Do the roof racks fit the Speed? I need a rack...don't ask.
I don't think they'd fit a regular sedan body. They stretch from back to almost the windshield here on the wagon...pretty long.
Unless you modified them? Cutting and whatnot. I think they'd sit in the roof channels the same, and even sit flush on the roof and pillars without any gaps, it's just a matter of length.
