Today, I test fit the front wheels to the new setup.
Advan TC-III 18x10.5 +25 with Yokohama A052 tires.
Rears shown are 18x9.5 +45, but will be replacing with 18x9.0 +25 with a narrower tire for better rotation.

Today, I went ahead and test fit the front wheels to the new wheel setup.
They are sized 18x10.5 +25 and are paired with 18x9.0 +25 rears (not shown). I used 265/35 Yokohama A052 tires that were sitting around, but the ideal size would be 285/30. This gave me a good baseline to test for fender...
Yesterday, I added the Zoom Engineering rear view mirror that we are now selling in our store.
It is a carbon fiber piece that would make a fine addition to any interior, and a simple 5 minute installation.
Selling my set of wheels / tires to move to a staggered setup.

Both wheels & tires have ~500 miles on them, including 2 hot laps on track. Even wear all around, approximately 95% life remaining. Ready to bolt-on and hit the...
In speaking with Winmax, they have the front pad shape (Honda Vezel / HR-V), but they do not have the return springs. In my experience, this means the pads will move around up and down / side to side making a ton of noise.
Here is the video of my 2 hot laps. Refer to previous post regarding the stock brakes. My driving is rusty and this first session was meant to just get a feel for the car. I believe I can shave 3 seconds with driving optimization alone. Small tweaks to the setup, including upgrading the brakes...
Yesterday, I did a car shakedown at Buttonwillow Raceway.
I only set 2 hot laps because the stock brake system was pretty awful. Prior to the track day, I spent a few days researching aftermarket pad options and didn't find much. I did see that Hawk offers the HPS pad, but I knew that it would...
Today, I started looking into the next wheel setup, beginning with the front wheels.
Advan TC3 18x10.5: 21.70 lbs
In order to comfortably fit them whilst maintaining a meaningful tire stagger, I'll be looking at 265/35 front tires and 235/40 rear tires.
A few weeks have gone by and I have begun the first few modifications. First, I addressed the awful factory suspension, replacing the dampers with (temporary) Godspeed Maxx coilovers. I have experience with these on previous cars and know them to be one of the better low end coilover systems. To...
If you don't see it on the Rays website, it is either 1, an overseas spec or 2, discontinued.

P.S. where did you see those offsets listed?
Hi everybody,
This thread is to document the build process for our 2018 Honda Civic Si sedan.
The car was purchased as an exercise to explore the potential market of 10th Civic. Since we have a lot of friends and customers with the Type R models already, we chose the Si because the customer...
Broadening my options since dealers are asking MSRP+ on new Civic Si right now while others were getting them for $25k out the door earlier this year.
I'm looking for a red or white Si Sedan. I'm located in LA area but willing to travel to surrounding states.
I was just exploring my options because as mentioned, I did not want to pay MSRP or markup (due to production shortage) while others have reported paying $24-26k out the door. Seems quite a few dealerships east of Texas are advertising $2000-3000 discounts right off the bat.
Thanks, I'm actually not even in Washington but wanted to explore my out of state options. I called around and they were all at MSRP (same as here in Southern California). I'm just not willing to pay nearly $30k out the door for a Civic Si.
Gardena Honda has 2 white 2020 Si sedans incoming (ETA early to mid July) listed at $23,594. Unfortunately upon calling, this is just a false lead and they are not actually offering any discounts on them and they will not honor the advertised price.
I can't believe these things are being...
