Holy ***** that's cheap for all that turbo stuff. I have a feeling for that price they are either beat up or old. Make sure that turbo has barely any shaft play to it, but if it is all good then great find haha. And I doubt that non turbo have 450cc. Just look at the injectors, 450cc's have blue tops.

See how much play is in the turbine by simply wiggling it. It should have a LITTLE side to side movement (assuming it is a ball bearing turbo which it most likely is). That is supposed to be there, once there is oil running through the turbo that goes away. But it should not have any in and out movement, that's bad.

Damn there's a lot of good parts by you. I just searhed civic and found a lot of good stuff, I'm jealous lol.

I'm back to edit this for the 3rd time. There are so many nice sets of rims by you!

I wish I were in Colorado... I'd pick up the c10s that guy is selling, except he wants $550 which is expensive. WI sucks for rims, people get amd and keep em, or they trade rims for rims. Nobody wants steelies . Right now I hope to get some c10s in the next week, depending on how much this kid cooperates. Otherwise I may resort to a set of black slips with a red lip, they'll be painted of couse lol. Black rims seem pointless since they disappear.



By the way that magnet thing you took a pic of is your crank sensor.

Ive seen this vid though of a guy with a black hatch that had some black rims with a like red center cap. Showed him driving and they just looked plain sick.

eh, those look pretty sweet, but i wouldn't do 17s. I had 17s on my hatch and they were just too big. now if they were 16s id be all over them.

I agree 15's look just right on my coupe maybe would upgrade one size, but never above, they just look too big and gaudy.
