Hi.

Hi. I guess I am limited to this section which is lame. O' well, I dont make the rules.

Here is my Project, its not a CB7 but its a Honda and shares 4x114.3. Came here to learn while I hunt a AGP CB7 so that I can make my "project" a true project..

My 4x114.3 wheel collection consists of:





Been thinking about thinning out the heard but if I find a CB, the Volks will be going on it.

Aren't Civics 4x100 stock? Seems like an odd conversion choice considering all the wheels available in 100. Still, I do love the little hatchbacks. Be careful you don't look around this site too thoroughly, or you might just forget about your 'real' project

ED. - Forgot to ask! What route are you going with the hatch, anyway? Doing one of the more crazy H/K swaps, or kickin' it "old school" and sticking with a built D/B?

I scored the 4x4.5 conversion off a local guy who wanted 4x100.

I stem from Nissan/Toyota roots (S13's/AE86's) .I collect old school Work/Volk/SSR wheels and prefer things to look time period correct. Easiest way to put them on my Civic was a freebie.

So I traded my complete GSR Disc setup with brand new ARP's on all 4 corners for the 4x4,5 conversion from a '96 JDM ITR.

The engine bay is almost done. Debating on a built bottom end or a turbo.



Here is the whole build thread.

Fully functioning A/C, P/S, AND C/C.

I love that I can have a ITR trans and hit my Cruise Control button.

I see that your Civic was once 5 lug, why did you decide to go 4x114.3?

Hi, not a bad looking civic. And the tires with the bbs will make it look even better.

I collect certain wheels myself. What are the spec on those super advan?

[F20A CB7]

Pretty color car.

I love when people call the rules lame. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

It was never 5 lug. I went from 4x100 to 4x114.3. The Volks are both 4/5x114.3.

I cant wait to get tires on them. The lips on the BBS's are marred up so I had a spare set of OE lips I will be replacing them with. Also going to repaint the center Wurth Gold to match the OE Color. Thats why they do not have tires yet.

Super Advans are 16x7 +35 or +37.

Pretty color car.

Thank you. Hunted for a EG Coupe or Hatch in this color for a few years until this one popped up.

As long as you do not connect that warm fuzzy feeling to an erotic sensation, we are good.

No, I understand rules, just sucks. On my "home" forum I have been a member so long w/ almost 10k posts that I guess I have become ornery.

Also, how does post count work? I have made 15-16 "valued" posts yet I have 2? Searched the rules but nothing mentions this "phenomenon".

[93smurf]

hey welcome to the site. also where are you from? im looking for an old skool set of rims for my cb7. good luck in the hunt for a cb.

[94EGCoopey]

I have some for sale on several other websites. I am located in NC just off I-95. Thanks for the luck.

Been scouring C/List for a lil while. Have to have the Arcadia Green though. Cant own another color.

You're posting in sections where your "valued" posts don't count. Only the Beginner tech and appearance sections count towards your 30.

It's all explained in the rules. I understand that you're experienced both with Hondas and forums... but that's still no excuse not to know how things work around here. Read through the rules, and you'll understand what is expected.

Additionally, as you seem to have discovered, you can get to 30 posts quite easily by sharing your knowledge and helping others. Knowledgeable new members seem to get offended by the fact that they're limited to this section, even though they ARE beginners on this particular forum!

I skimmed through them before I signed up. I still havent found where it says your post count is accumulated in those designated sections. I did however read the rules and possess forum etiquette.

But hey, I will be the new guy. Not here to argue as you all seem to have a decent community that I would like to join. After all, I chose to be here lol.

I've had a few experiences this week with people that they deserved to be members here regardless of an unwillingness to follow the rules. I don't expect you'll get yourself banned as they did, but perhaps you can understand my initial reaction! There's nothing you can't ask about in this section, and any thread that is better suited to the "big boy section" can always be moved after you reach 30 posts. Any moderator will be happy to do it for you.

The rules shown when you first sign up aren't the proper rules of the forum. In fact, I keep forgetting that they're there. The rules everyone is expected to know and follow are located in the very first section at the top of the main forum menu... called "Rules". The part that says "Beginner Forums (post count and account limitations are explained here!)" is what you want to be familiar with at the moment.


It's funny... because I get messages from members with over 30 posts CONSTANTLY asking why they're not allowed to create new threads in this section. Those who are stuck here don't want to be. Those that are locked out of here just want back in!

Nice eg. I'm not the biggest fan of them, because of their popularity where I live. The gold bbs' will look great on it. I'm also on Carolina Hondas. Barely post though.
