Nice progress! Hard to tell but it looks like you are still using the stock lug nuts. Might want to pick up some after market lug nuts soon as the stock ones do not sit correctly with after market wheels and there is a risk of it backing out.

The intake def allows for better airflow, but the performance isn't a huge difference, def louder once the VTEC engages for sure though.

Thanks man, those are just the stock lug nuts, I was only test fitting them because I still need my fenders rolled for driving clearance.

Appreciate the compliments, trying to take my time and make the right purchases for this the first time.

Yeah these pictures were just a test fit to see how the wheels fit and how bad they were rubbing, I have ordered some Project Kics R40s but they're currently back ordered so it will be a few weeks

So this past weekend I got my first chance to run on a track at Carolina Motorsports Park, it was amazing. It was a blast to get out and see what the car was capable of, unfortunately I had to end it early because I went through my brakes completely, pictures:

Taped up, ready to go







It was an awesome learning experience and I am ready to go again but for now I'm getting ready for Import Alliance, stay tuned.

Love your build

what fender mods and how much camber will u be running in the front?

I'm thinking about running the same 9.5+35 in the rear but still wanna keep the front 9.5 so I'm choosing between 9.5+40 or 9.5+47 (which will be more like yours 9.0+40) any suggestions??? i can't pick lol

car looks great! The new wheels really set it off, but im really loving that interior! But just wondering, how much pad life did you have left when you went to the track? How many events were on them prior??

The 9.5+ 40 would look sick only because I love the concave look, but +47 will be easier to fit with the offset difference...I plan on having my fenders rolled as much as possible and am yet to have an alignment so I'm not sure what my camber is currently at. The guy I got the wheels from had 9.5 +35 on the front with a 235/40/r17 tire and had around -2 degrees of camber to fit it with a roll and mild flare.

I probably had at least 70-80% pad left before the event, and this was the first event with the S.
