Really wanting to get some new wheels on my FA5 and ditch the heavy and weak XXR’s and switch to a 17x9 +35 to fit a 245/40r17 and will take track abuse. I’ve been thinking of going with the old reliable silver enkei rpf1 since I’ve always loved the look on these cars but if anyone else has some more recommendations I’d love to hear and see them.

Car certainly has some things I need to address (like the +0.4 degrees of camber in the front and -3 degrees in the rear) but it’s a great start and I can’t wait to turn it into an autocross/track monster

What started out as a basic lowered street truck got out of hand pretty quick when I went to my first autocross event and found out how much potential the chassis had. The truck was already a monster in its last iteration with just about every single front suspension mod imaginable keeping stock control arm lengths and mounting points for class rules but unfortunately the stock Chevy s10 2.2 finally had enough and blew so I figured I’d do a full overhaul on the truck. Got a hold of some c4 corvette irs and a Honda k24 (the lightest engine option I could find with heaps of horsepower potential) that I am allowed to push 10 inches back from its original position. Only “problem” I will have is needing to widen the front control arms 10 inches to match the rear corvette suspension so might as well do a wide body with 315 wide tires on all 4 corners and a partial tube chassis.

Thinking about selling my 91 Accord LX, chassis has nearly 460k miles on original odometer. There is a good bit of cosmetic damage (small-medium dents) and the paint from the front fenders back is not ideal.

Just ordered this OBX header and downpipe/flex pipe for my 91 accord and I was wondering if the down pipe fits our cars. The header is originally for a 92-96 Honda prelude with the non vtec h23a1 engine using the same exhaust manifold flange as the f22a platform. I know the header will fit with no issues but is the down pipe the same length as ours? I did some looking and saw that the flange that meets up with the CAT is oriented the same as ours is, I just have no way to get the measurements until it arrives.

I only really have experience with 200tw tires in autocross so I don’t know what to expect with these 320tw kumho ecsta sport ps72’s. I’d like to mention this is my daily/ canyon car and I’m wanting to autocross it because my truck (autocross build) is down for a while and I’m itching to get back out and smack some cones 😆. My main worry is these tires chunking or separating if I push them too hard so if anyone has experience with these tires I’d very much appreciate some info
