Well while i was in California getting wheels and tires and some other stuff for the 240sx, I also picked up a few things for the civic. I used to think my civic was HOT shit, but once i got my RB25 swapped 240 going i quickly realized how slow my civic was. i joke about it now saying "im so embarrassed that i used to think my civic was fast" or " i dont even know why i fixed up civics they are sooo slooow". but there is one thing my 240sx will never be able to do, and that is out handle my civic. so just to solidify the civic greatness in handling, while i was in California i stopped in at JHP and picked up some 15x8 +35 Enkei PF01 wheels, and got some Federal RSR tires to wrap around them. Now i have always been an AZENIS guy and thought that the federal RSR tires would not even come close. but after to talking to some people i decided to try them out plus the price was good too, so i figured how could i go wrong. well my first impression of the tires was WOW. I can not believe how much better they handle then the AZENIS, its a day and night difference im now the biggest fan of the Federal RSR tires. also while i was down there i picked up an APEXI NOIR exhaust to help my fly under the radar since the civic is like a daily for me. and then i finally decided to man up and cut my bumper, this is a great modification that people are doing lately to really help reduce the air drag during high speed track racing. i cant wait to get out to Buttonwillow and see how much better it is. it is the same principal as cutting speed holes in your bumper except it hasn't been ruined by lower class people trying to make there cars look cool.
Here's a bunch of mediocre pictures

UPDATES...
Man oh man it has been a while, but please rest assured its for good reason. we have been busy prepping our cars for the upcoming Vegas Drift event on OCT 6th. so that includes getting parts, wheels, tires, fixing broken stuff on the cars currently, and just basically making sure the cars are all prepped for the event. it all started by figuring out what was wrong with evers car, after a long hiatus we were finally able to get it running strong. pretty much since he has had the car the rack has almost always had a small leak, well not any more. we replaced the rack and added parts shop max steering rack eccentric bushings, and tein tie rods.
Now lets take it back a few weeks. i made a trip to California to get wheels tires and some other goodies you'll see later and some stuff from MAX
the black ones on the right went on my civic.
The whole thing started with me going 5 lug. ever found some rear hubs on Zilvia for a great deal so i go them... then i thought man i need new wheels now. so i decided to just go crazy.
i also got an AEM water temp guage, those are the pictures of the HYDRO EBRAKE installed and the max rear toe arms.

That is not a Keys wheels its just an Ebay wheel with evers keys wheels horn button. After installing the ebrake it took me a long time to get the brakes properly bled, even after bench bleeding the new ebrake master cylinder. but i finally got it working right.
Here is the car down on the ground. wheels specs are 17x9.5 all around +12 in the rear and -7 in the front. 225 45 tires as you can see in the pictures i gaped my front fenders to fit the wheels easier.
thats pretty much a quick sum up of the last few weeks. please enjoy the rest of the pictures and we will see you all out at the VEGAS DRIFT event on OCTOBER 6th
