My guess is that they would fit just fine. They cleared GD STI Brembos and the stock wheels were 17x8 +50. There was a lot of clearance between the inner spoke and the caliper.

In the underground parking lot? You okay? Pics of damage?

Installed my cat-back today with the help of ts14 VIP Performance Racing Team :troll: sounds pretty good, except I get drone from 2-3k which is the rpm range I drove the most in :okay:

Pics to come once I'm home.

Exhaust made for Element, fits in Element :troll:

Aside from the seat covers, yes.

So did I before I installed it, happy to report that there is no rasp or buzzing at all, very deep and throaty tone.

To me, it sounds pretty much like a stock 9th gen Civic Si exhaust note, with the volume knob turned up quite a bit.

Gave the KO's a good fairwell in the dirt before getting a new set of Duratracs installed on my Cherokee today, I can't wait to put them to the test.

fliptuner 11-01-2014 04:21 PM

I've grown so accustomed to prepping for aircare that I added 300ml of MH, went for a 30km burn on the freeway, pumped the tires to 50psi and did an oil change, even though the car's obd2 and has no codes.

:facepalm:

:okay:

Playing around with my vinyl cutter, decided to make a big sticker for the rear windshield

Looks okay, going to keep playing around :fullofwin:

took off hood bra, needed to re paint where it was as it somehow destroyed the paint under it, did honda badges all around, put the oem bumper lights back in as i think they look cleaner and lubed up the speedo cable, it was getting loud.. sounded like a dying bird inside

Swapped to a carbon hood from Spoon ek9's car......... :megusta:

Zedbra 11-02-2014 05:14 PM

Replaced my cracked glass lenses with plastic ones, painted the inside of my lights, replaced my ballasts and bixenon bulbs - took almost all day but it needed to be done. In order to get to the lights on these older Dubs, you have to remove the whole front bumper. Fun.

Started like this:
