Thanks man =) Because I have 5 already. I figured if I decide to ever sell it is easier to sell a set of 4 than 5. Not everyone cares about having the full spare. And I got the 3 for a great price so it was win for me. Going to have them anodized to match up with the fresh 5th I've got.

949 fit up last night. No adjustments made, just put on and let it down to see where its at. Let is sit over night and I'll be making a little height adjustment. Reverse stagger, 15x9 +36 front and 15x8 +36 rear. 225/45 all around.



First two on, left to right checks ok. Might rub on full over but I'll check that on drive. Might add a 5mm spacer depending on outcome.


Dead on R front


Over top R front




Dead on R rear

Not trendy enough for Civic people I guess...lol. These are strictly track for me though. Today's venture. Checked it out and it looked safe to drive. Didn't make it far as I heard metal on metal. Inside of the wheel barrel edge was rubbing the upper arm of the knuckle. Added a 5mm spacer and good to go. I could probably shave it some but this was the fast and easy fix. Also decided after testing to go up a quarter inch in the front.

Where it was touching. Obviously I caught it quick.


Shavings...


The wheel edge...






Wheels at front fenders...

Friday is not EM1 related but in progress of my buddies ITR I've been slowly working on as we both find time to. I've been doing a lot of wiring stuff for him. Main trunk line to inside the car with the tower connections for the engine side harness, ABS and a few other things on the passenger side. Delete the stuff not needed, pulled into the car and back to removal. Started looming the legs and working back to the firewall =)







Good day on Saturday =)

First I got confirmation that a buddy was on his way down to pick up the Recaro Speeds!

That being said, I needed to get the Recaro passenger rail off my Euro R seat and put the the Vision rail on finally so he could have the Recaro rail =)


Moving over!


Mounted in his car!


And Sunday, RACE!

Next season I will be for sure if I decide to keep my em1. Actually been looking at the 949s or rpf1s for track wheels so now I got a real good visual of how they look on an ebp, thanks lol.

haha...no problem. Keep in mind that if you want 15x8 949 will be your way to go in the two wheels you are looking at. Enkei made the RPF in 15x8 years ago but they are not currently offered. They float around used from time to time (currently a set local to me fs...lol.) but not as easy to find as 949's =)

Haha don't know about that. I've got a ton of work ahead of me. I've been starting to research a lot and following your build as well. I'm pretty set on a GSR with a b16 trans. Not sure on suspension set up yet though.
