H&R FTW










sun was in my eyes

 

looks good man ... needs some wheels though

 

i missed the fedex guy today, so i'll have the wheels on monday

 

and some 02-03 tail lights, tints and if money permits exhaust or just some 3a tips.

 

yeah, i've been meaning to get some newer tails. tint is already below legal limit. i think i'm going to have one of the exhaust resonators removed. doesn't that give it the beefier tone?

 

Lookin good! What wheels are comin for it? And wtf do you mean your tint is already below the legal limit?? lol it looks even lighter than 35%.

I wouldn't get the 3A tips BTW.

 

i was on deployment for two months and had very limited internet access so i was not really able to do much research, but i knew that as soon as i got back i'd need some new wheels and tires (for state inspection). so i ordered these....



i love the way they look, but we'll see how they look in person. they are coming with toyo px-4's 225/40/18

my tint is 35 all around. va law says up to 35% in the back, but only 50% in the front, but i said that's sooo tacky looking, so i did 35 all around.... when i get my car registered in ky i'll probably drop it to 20.

 

rims look sweet. illinois said anything in the back and no tint up front, i did 5%all the way around.

 

Good start, I started with the same route as you. Maybe I can sell you my lip kit when I start to part out my car.

 

Great start, gotta love a fresh drop

 

I like the rims you picked out - he's a hint to what it will look like on your car.......(first pics of my new rims on Azine):



AND



If anybody remembers the ASA AR2 stRodda had before he put on the blackeez - these are the ones.

 

WHAAAAAA?!

 

I like how all the FPR people started chiming in. Car looks great on H&R sports, IMO looks like just the right amount of drop for daily driving. Be sure to post up pics with the rims.

 

oooooooooooohhhhhhh man i'll definately hit you up on that

 

assclown - That drop is clean.

Looking good FirePR2002. I tought you said you weren't gonna do anything else to your car, now you surprise us like this?

 

i just got chills, that shit is hot. mine are gunmetal with a silver lip so i might like that even better. we will see on monday

 

Yepp, got a new job so i'm lookin for a new car.. don't worry it's gonna be pimp

FPR's are slowly growing, finally! haha. assclown, i'll let ya know when I finally commit to selling everything.

 

see well i plan on keeping my fpr for many years to come and the idea of another car is creepy, that is why i should be first dibs on the lip kit

 

^I gotta man, you'll be the first to know

 

Dude - that was soooo LAST WEEK. You know how this forum beats you down into submission. Was telling 01TL4TL earlier that I'm at a point where I keep telling myself to stop spending money on the ride, but that I've got my eyes on a few performance mods.....

 

Post up pics when they're on. Can't wait to see it.

 

 

tommorow is the day, i'm excited!

 

don't worry too much about tint laws ... atleast from my experience i live in northern virginia and my windows are at 15, and i have not been hassled... knock on wood ... so if u really wanna get them darker you should go for it, and even if u do get pulled over you should just look at as a tax for having a good lookin car

 

What size of tires are on those ASA AR2's?

 

haha very true, and i guess if they aren't hassling you then they probably wouldn't touch me.... i heard NOVA cops are complete assholes with nothing to do

it's ok, i'm getting my KY plates next week so yeah shouldn't be a problem

 

they look like 225/40R18's

 

Hey I'm around your part of town if you plan on letting anything else good go! Same car 2000 fpr!

 

They're 225/40/18. General Exclaim UHP - excellent tire for the money so far. I've heard from many people about these tires and I have not been disappointed.

 

have you guys heard good things about the toyo px-4's?

 

here it goes....










now i have rubbing issues in the back grrr i wonder if it'll go away once i align it. hmm

looks great tho

 

i like that look... nice job... maybe remove or paint those mud guards though. other than that looks nice

 

Looks good man

 

looking niceeeee

 

Looks great

 

What's the offset? I had to cut the rear tabs. Jack up the front corners as high as you can to get a sense of how much and where you need to trim. Grinding or rolling the rear fenders may be necessary as well - usually in the 12:00 position. You'll see when you jack up the front.

 

the offset is 45mm. i don't think it's the offset, i think the car was too low because it would only rub when i went over bumps and whatnot, but it doesn't rub very much anymore, but i didn't take into account at the time i had my stock wheels in the trunk so that probably weighed it down with my drop. but i just finished an 11 hour drive to ky and haven't heard any more rubbing, but just for shits and giggles i'm going to take a look during my visit here in louisville. my next issue is going to be getting a key for these lugs. the idiots didn't put the key in my package, i found this out after i was in the auto hobby shop with all four of my stock wheels off, only to have to drive from tire center to tire center looking for a key for these lugs. luckily pep boys had one and they put my wheels on for me. the guys i ordered the wheels from are sending me new lugs with a key, but that's going to be in va, and i want to have a key here in ky just incase anything happens. does anyone know of any companies that might sell this key? or should i just buy a whole new set of lugs with a key? i'm going to see if i can get my alignment sometime this week and a camber kit if needed.

i noticed on my way to ky sitting at a stop light, my car was vibrating, i have a feeling it's my motor mounts. just hit 150k so it wouldn't suprise me.

on a lighter note, my driver side headlight stayed on the whole trip so hopefully the ballast issue is over

 

Had this same problem a few weeks ago after a minor fender-bender. Insurance company repair facility forgot to return the key in the trunk where it goes, and of course, "we didn't do anything with it" was the story I got. Go to a local Acura dealer and pay a tech $20 to swap out the locks with regular lugs. A new set of lugs will cost you $50 from the dealer and it's a 10-day order apparently as I was told they don't hold stock on these.

 

i don't think the dealer will carry any lugnuts that'll work with these wheels... the lugnuts that are on there are 12mmx1.5 and the stock lugnuts will definately not fit. grrr

 

hey did you get that lug key???
