Replying to: nvbanker (Mar 13, 2007 2:28 pm) Didn't you have a Camry hybrid? Is this like a yin-yang thing? Where my folks live its pretty common to see a Prius next to a 'burban, I don't know if they see the Prius as buying carbon credits or something.

Replying to: gee35coupe (Mar 14, 2007 11:31 am) Pretty cool. I like the dark red, and didn't realize the Si came in dark red. I'm thinking of the old Si coupe that only came in black, bright red, and electric blue. The TSX wheels look nice on the Accord.
#9184 of 15273 Yeah... by gee35coupe Mar 14, 2007 (3:01 pm)
I bought 2 sets off Ebay. They look great going down the road. And they have a wider offset and gives it a nice stance from the front. They needed a 3mm spacer to clear the calipers on the Accord but not the TSX. The 17" wheels firmed the Accord suspension quite nicely. The faster you go, the more firmly planted it feels.
#9185 of 15273 16" Wheels by sandman46 Mar 14, 2007 (3:33 pm)
I made sure that the 16"ers I got for my '06 Civic had the correct offset and would fit perfectly, as I didn't want to have to worry about spacers and fitment problems. Love the look but felt a slight shimmy at 76 mph yesterday on the turnpike. Stopped at 80 and felt nothing at 74. My mechanice will check it on Friday morning. Very happy with them and they definitely dress up my LX.   The Sandman

I went this little BHPH lot yesterday to look at a 98 4Runner that appeared to be a pretty good deal. While I was looking at it, a guy who worked there was trying to turn his Suburban around (tight quarters) and backed into my truck. I was less than thrilled to say the least. My truck now needs a new bumper which just makes me really happy. He said he didn't see my truck, I'm thinking "how can you miss a 1-ton black Dodge Ram??"   Anyway, the 4Runner turned out to be a reconstruct, not something that bothers me a whole lot. It drove nice, had a lot of miles on it, but seemed to run well. They offered me $1500 for my Sebring and they would pay the shipping from Fairbanks. I think I'm going to pass on it and keep looking. I can do better I think. They had a 2000 4Runner with 135k on it that I also drove, really nice truck, but something gave me the creeps about it, couldn't put my finger on it.   I'm pretty much limiting my search to 4Runners, Pathfinders, and possibly Explorers depending on how they are mechanically. Trying not to spend over $5k for this beater. Yesterday confirmed to me that I do need a beater, these Anchorage trips stress me out about having my black truck down here.   Would be nice to have an SUV that the dog can go with us in, we can take fishing, down the back trails, just in general use it for everything. Course I still need the black truck for towing that huge horse trailer of mine. Replies to this message: jbollt (Mar 15, 2007 1:06 pm) akangl (Mar 15, 2007 5:16 pm) woodyww (Mar 17, 2007 1:37 pm)

Great pics there...guess y'all really do like the TSX wheels! Let Anony know that I'm loving my 1st Honda...it's an awesome car! I also thought about her when I purchased my Si wheels on EBAY. Didn't she have a couple of the '05 Civic Si's?   The Sandman

Glad you are loving your Civic. I know you thought about it long and hard before taking the plunge!   We had 3 of the 02-05 SI's. The first one was a white 02 that met it's death after I owned it 3 weeks. A car turned out in front of me (her fault) and the SI gave it's life for mine. So I replaced it with an identical white 02 Si which was cursed. So we traded that one for a GS300. Not too long after Gee bought a 03 Si that we kept for 2 years and 40,000 miles. Great cars. Not as obviously sporty as the 2000 Si we had though.

Then someone decided to scratch the heck out of my tailgate at the hotel I'm staying at, all in all, my truck is not enjoying its stay in Anchorage.
