Thanks bro! I have no issue at all with clearance in the back, well at least not that I know of. I checked the clearance in the front, but I didn't in the back. When I called forgestar I gave them all of the info on the car and they guaranteed fitment with the tires that I was going to run. I personally love the slight stretch that the 265s have on the 10, really could not have come out any better.


Turbo next?
I don't know about that. It all depends on the work/money situation over the coming year. If things keep progressing as they are, I do have a slight joker up my sleeve. Perhaps replacing the rods and pistons (forged of course) for a lower compression set to allow for a low/mild turbo charging...... Who knows.


Thanks for the good words gentlemen.

Also as an aside, I just took shipment of a Kiwi Bluetooth OBDII scanner as well as downloaded the Driod Torque app that monitors all of the ECUs readouts. Has anyone used it before? If not, ill get a little write up going after ive used it

Turboing our cars is pretty difficult with how touchy our ecus are. No impossible but its $$$ to do it. You might get rubbing issues once you lower the car. Some fender work will probably be involved.

I wonder how the internals would hold up to a good turbocharging.

You could run low boost of course. but later if you want more you could upgrade certain internals to allow more BOOST!

Yea I can thank Gene (eesjunin) for telling me about these guys. He had work done there himself and it too came out great. Lous Custom Exhaust in Worcester MA is phenomenal, I recommend them highly!

hot ride!! My car wants to make babies with your car. lol
I don't think it would mind that at all lol. It is a big fan of nice quiet cruises during the day and afternoon as well as a nice hard riding in the evening.

lol I am sure something could be arranged. It is quite the party animal. Sometimes it goes wide open throttle without going near the gas pedal. Must be the massive amounts of slammed/V-teched/fart can exhausted civics driving about getting it into a frenzy

I was out last night and decided to snap a few more pics on my phone. I love the way these wheels look in bright light. The amount of flake on them is awesome.

So I was bored last night and decided to take the car out for a few videos. Sadly my video camera **** the bed and all I had was my cell phone. I apologize for the short length and quality of the videos, but at least people have an idea of what it sounds like.
