Thanks! Its crazy how light these are.
For the first few minutes on the henday i had some vibration in the steering wheel, but it kinda went away after a bit. Not really sure what that was all about.

Looks good, man!

Thanks man. I like the meaty tire look! I cant wait to see how these will turn out in blue:)

Those in a nice deep blue would look sweet. We'll be opposites! Until I switch back to pie cutters at the end of the month for snow season.

You should sell the pie wheels and use the money for something nicer :)
Spotted a TW GE at WEM with some plastidip wheels and emblems. Gunna leave him a note for our little group lol.

Is it lowered and have aftermarket tails?

Wow it's been a while since I've been on the boards. Your wheels are looking good Connor!! I'm now rocking the Steelies and Blizzaks for winter. 15's look funny to me.
I heard about the snow you guys got in GP spryter! I hope the highways won't be too bad between here and there.
Still need a meet! I saw the red GD with HID's, mugen visors and exhaust about a month back. It's good know that car is sill around.

I didnt get a chance to see the back but it looked like it was stock height. He was gone before i could come back lol. Oh well :p

Yeah theyre pretty meaty looking after the 17s but they sure ride smooth.

Looks like it could be our turn for snow, at least a little tonight. This will be my first winter being lowered, im a little worried about my mugen lip. I should build a sharp metal edge to plow snow lol.

Im up for a winter meet if you guys want. Coukd make for some cool pics in the snow for sure!

As long as the meet is somewhere warm! Coffee meet? (I'm a wimp in the cold)

As much as I would love to, I want to keep the original wheels around for resale. I'm thinking about switching from the Minis if I keep the car for longer than a year. When people sell nice wheels up here, they go cheap for small cars. Someone sold a set of Ray's G-Games for $400 in mint condition with almost new tires. I could've bought them and sold them on eBay for double.

I wish I could afford Blizzaks. My Dunlops are a decent winter tire, though. Winter meet would be cool (no pun intended), but I don't think I'd make it. I don't want to get into the details, but I owe my parents a lot of money due to an emergency that came up last month.

Besides, it's more fun if I have something new and shiny to show off, right? Maybe time for some new pipes, or a Progress RSB, or maybe something more JDM?

Oh haha. I know there's another GE here on the west end that has aftermarket jdm parts, idk if he still owns it though.

I might get a set of those in 15x7 instead, the looks of the Slipstreams never actually die out. They look good on almost everything.

You should get in touch with him haha.

I got 6.5 for winter clearance. I think i can still fit chains on if i desperately need them. The 55 to 40 offset makes it a little bit tighter.

I think chains are going too far. I drove the Fit one winter lowered on Skunk2 with 195/50/15 winters and 15x6.5 Slipstreams and I've survived with no problems. Only issue I can see is if you park somewhere with deep snow, you might need a little rocking or pushing to get out because of how light the body is.

Oh and around spring time, watch out for the road humps in the middle. Those hurt lowered vehicles. :(

I plow the middle of the street at stock ride height. If I lowered my car, the city would have to put me on the payroll.

Something cool is on it's way here from Osaka. Should be here Monday.

The GD is ready for another hibernation.:wavey:

Looking good! Hopefully you can come out to a future meet in the summer.
Time to start carrying the winter emergency kit around with me again. I have an inch and a half of clearance over my tire at the tightest point , so that should be enough to accommodate chains if i drive really slow lol.

Yeah im definitely expecting to do some plowing this year. I hope it doesnt damage anything.

Hopefully I get new wheels by summer. :D

Me too! Got any other plans for the GD?

Next year? A Flashpro for sure, then finish up my gauges, and maybe wheels. A buddy of mine gave me his quick release kit, so all I need is a wheel.

Better book appt at body shop now for the spring - lol Hey we got 2-3 inches of white stuff last evening. Will stay home til I get my snows on on Wed.
