Got my bent wheels straightened out and refinished. Paid 500 and they look amazing to me. Feels like there’s more grip but still hear a whirring noise from the front. Scheduled an appt with a suspension specialist to diagnose.
Excuse the dirty car. Been trying to focusing on the mechanical issues lately. Will ceramic coat her eventually.
What frustrates me is that the ECU supports displaying individual pressures. There's even an app that let's you do it along with with all sorts of other gauges not available through the car's interface. It's on motorvatediy's second channel on YouTube if you want to look it up. I set mine up along with an oil temp gauge that you also normally can't get.
On another note, a better pic of the undertray. Pardon the dirt, it's been dusty and lots of spotted rain.
What's the additional cutout in the lower grill for?
Yeah, I was just wondering how a 31 pound wheel is "not bad at all". What wheels again?
Wait, I just looked. Deepblue, I don't get the appeal. Are you thinking of new wheels?
I can answer both questions in a way that makes sense to me
My stock 2015 civic si 18s are 29 lbs. stock type r 20s are 28lbs. I expected my wheels to be 40lbs each considering they are optional fx35 wheels. so 31 is a pleasant surprise relatively speaking. I also think my G is fast enough as is for me.
As for appeal, I really like how they look in person and pictures may not do them justice. They have a soft look with rounded edges that match the shape of the G well. That’s also why I like the 09 sport bumper better - simpler and softer looking.
A lot of aftermarket wheels have sharp edges that make the car more aggressive. I like more blending in while still being pleasant to my eyes.
