Wow, that last integra is way too low.
Also, I'd like to add any of the team Top End NSX's to the mix when comparing Nissan to Honda. Beautiful cars.

Loving the roof rack on that last Integra. Gives a nice touch to so many cars. I'm also liking this new trend of coloured wheels, it's too random to dislike I guess.

When your mudflaps are so low to the ground that running over a crack in the road places your car 1cm lower and they scrape the ground.
Yeah, it's too low. The only way to keep it from bottoming out now, assuming he has a stock suspension layout, is extremely stiff suspension, or just taking it easy everywhere you go. So either you have to go slow, or your car goes slow because it's way too stiff.
Or you could bottom out and rub your tires on stuff inside your fenders, which mean it's too low anyways.
*shudders*
EDIT:
Because you drive a very un-jdm del sol, which, as you can see from the pictures, are banned from meets.keef
EDIT #2: Now, if you drove a Dodge Caravan or a Chevy Astro van, you could have went.
EDIT#3: I believe my friends new wheels deserve a spot in this thread. My car on the left, soon to be adorned with Enkei Rpf1's.

Grow a pair, Sally.
I've got about the same clearance to my mid-pipe as he does to his mudguards.

Eh, I don't see the point. It doesn't look better IMO, much like a lowrider, and it doesn't help any, usually making stuff worse. Oh well, each to his own I guess.Grow a pair, Sally.

Well, there is too low... when you don't have enough suspension travel for the road and you lose contact patch because tires are coming off the ground... and you frequently have an excess of camber etc. Basically, low is really only good for pure show, and thats probably the engineer and performance guy coming out in me

I was just kidding around. My main goal was to get a no-finger gap, to bring the body lines even with the wheels. Also, it brought my lower control arms to a better angle between the frame and the wheels themselves. Unfortunately, with the 7th Gen. Civics, that means the sub-frame will sit mere centimeters off the ground.
It's unfortunate that it works out that way for me, but I do notice a huge change in roll-center. But, I think it looks good this way.

It's a style. I'm not big on it either. But it's cool. It's a Honda thing. There's so many different Honda styles, and I'm big into the performance side. But whatever style you like, green rims are the perfect final touch.

Let's go drive. I'll show you who's into performance. We'll meet at the Dragon. I'll give you a whole day to familiarize yourself with my car any way you want. You already have a Civic, so it won't be much different at all. Then I'll show you that I don't need light rims or Extreme Performance tires to make my car handle...

Yes, the patrols as of late have been ridiculous. I was there in mid July, and it wasn't a bother at all. We made traffic-pending runs during the day for three days, but we also ran at night. About 1 am is the perfect time. Many of the bikers we spoke to suggested the safest and best times were late at night. And, man, it was like our own little private racetrack. PERFECT. The Sol was given its hardest workout, and it loved every second, as did I.
I know your MR2 would love it just as well.

I saw that in a mag a while back. Gets a big 👍 from me.

Yeah, that's one of the owners of Skunk2. He calls it his "beater". I'm quite confused over his choice of title.

Awesome lil sleeper, but whats the point of the missing headlight on the passenger side?

It was an "in-progress" photo. He just got the thing out of the shop that day.
