any 3G'ers with aftermarket wheels? wanted to know what your size/offset is and how much you are flush with fenders? anyone can chime in.

 

TSW Jarama 19x8 +40 offset

Personally, 19's look the best on 3G.
As the offset goes; stock = +45

The lower the number the more it sticks out closer to your fender.
I didn't need to roll my fenders but there is slight-none rubbing in the rear when I have +250lbs of human fat back there. Then again, I'm dropped on Teins.

Steven, let me know if you want pictures.

 

kevin, what size tires are you running on your 8 wide? i'm thinking of going 35/40 but will be strecthing the tires so i dont need to roll fenders

 

You crazy dawg.
I'm running 245/35

 

I saw your thread. You going with Pentas?

 

yeah going with the pentas, i think 245 on a 8 is just too much tire

 

They look perfect, and your rims/lip isn't vulnerable to the malicious attacks of the curb/pothole army.

 

Ok guys dnt kik my ass for askin this ? But what exactly do these Numbers mean? Compression ratio is 10.0:1.

 

It's all just witchcraft and voodoo Ludwig.
With a hint of black magik.

 

just gotta be careful i guess

7thgen started the comment he can finish it....j/k...i'm not sure myself

 

kevin post some close up pics of ur tires/wheels along with fenders

 

its the ratio of how much part of air to fuel your car takes

 

Like I said, Voodoo...

Accord is 10:1 ratio
TL is 11:1 ratio

 

The Fuckin Voodoo Magic Mon lol

 

Accord is 10:1 ratio
TL is 11:1 ratio------Sooo 10 parts Air- 1 part Gas?
ne 1 knw the compression of a CL

 

i want to put 255's on my 8" wheels (04 a-spec wheels BTW), but i am a 2g though, so should be easier for 3g's since they have larger wheel wells

when the air/fuel mixture goes into the cylinder it is consider a volume of "1", then after the valves close and and the piston starts to compress the A/F mixture, it will compress it 10 times smaller then the original volume (so 0.10 of the previous volume, or 10:1 compression, while still containing everything before)

ummm.... thats air/fuel RATIO, not compression

 

black magik...

 

WRONG



but for the compression ratio of the cl, it be the same as a tl, since they have the exact same motors in them

 

meh...

2001 CL:

"Acura's 3.2-liter all-aluminum V6 features a forged crankshaft and dome-shaped alloy pistons, with a 9.8:1 compression ratio in the 3.2CL and 10.5:1 in the Type S. "

 

also kevin make sure to bring that fender roller PLEASE , wanna at least roll the rears, fronts will have to wait a little bit longer (like end of march or so)

 

Guy with IS-F dropped by for lunch again...
Fucking, one-bad-ass car.

I could feel nothing but a big smile when he dropped us off.

 

This Hockeyman23's car. I just put these on this past Saturday. You can ask him with the specs of it. All I know that they are 18x8 and running a 235/40 R18.

 

 

on your favorite lift i see lol, needs more of a drop imo or was it still lifted a lil?

 

that's the hideous 3G gap.

 

Anyone know a shop that will and can do PCD?

 

hey thien do you think it would be ok to call that guy right now

 

???

 

to late lol i called him and im gonna go see it sunday

 

Precat Deletes

 

Nice man. How many miles?

 

its that blue one scottay posted, it has 46k

 

don't got them on the 2g's

and most shops will proably not do it though due to "emissions" legal crap, they might for cash though


and sending pm

 

I skimmed thru the listing.
Just saw a blue accord v6 coupe 6mt.

 

Replied.

Yeah, that's why I was asking because of the "illegal" issue.

 

Thanks for gettin those pics up Thien. I love these rims...already cleaned 'em off with a towel & water like 3 times this week, LOL! The car was still a little lifted when those pics were taken, the gap isn't bad. It settled quite a bit after the car was on level ground. I might do the aspec drop in the future, but no dinero for that now. +32 offset, IMO perfect fit. Widened the stance by a little, and the tires are sticky as hell. More pics will be up soon...

 

nice man. congrats zach

 

I can do them, but you won't pass emissions for anything. You will and more likely throw CEL left to right. If you do get the Pre-cat deleltes, you are freeing up too much exhaust flow, and you won't create enough back pressure. Just get a J-pipe and test pipe if you are looking to free up some exhaust flow. If you want more power adders, get the UR crank puley, MDX spacer, and do some porting of your IM. Unless you want to jump straight to the CT S/C.

 

x2 but defoulers will fix that though

you basically want minimum back pressure, but having a ever so slight amount of back pressure, just means that the velocity of the exhaust is still up

 

Lookup exhaust pros on colfax. They usually will do things like that or you can call street concepts or rx motorsports and ask if they will do the job.
