Fitted the Exip's today with fresh T1R's 195/50/15's. In hindsight I probably should have gone for 185's or 175's as they just touch the arch at the rear. I'm planning on getting some adjustable rear camber arms to just tuck them in enough to stop tem rubbing.

Looking good ben.

With regards to camber arms, i wouldn't go for cheap ones off of ebay haha. As that is what my rears are and they do the job but i have to run a minimum of 2 degrees as if i wind them out any more to gain more positive it becomes pretty unsafe, as the threads are clearly machined to HUGE tolerances and the threads get really loose and you end up relying on the lock nuts to keep the arms rigid as such. Its a job to explain in text haha, in hindsight i should have paid the extra £25 and got some branded ones. Although its okay for me as 2 degrees is what i had in mind to run anyway.

The saloon looks the bees knees mate. Love the one piece headlights, bronze glass, loving the colour coded bumpstrips too.

Ben, can you take a few pics of the centre console, specifically the climate control panel.

The UK civic is a different size to the CRX panel, with more sliders instead of switches.
I want to know please if the JDM Civic one is sized like a UK civic or like a CRX.

If it's CRX sized, doesn't this also mean than the centre console is a different size as the panels are too?

Or, am I an idiot and the panels CRX verses Civic are the same size ??

You can use civic climate control with CRX dash, and vice-versa, so i'm guessing they're the same size mate :wink:
