      Why do u ask like it's a bad thing? Lol. I've never seen an fg360 wheel go for nearly that much or the valve cover lol. But who knows maybe he paid that much? I'm a bit baffled. Anyways of course I'd sink my money into a honda 😢😂

      On a civic? No. They're fun cars but they're limited in capability and will always be a Civic. To me there's a definite ceiling for build budgets on civics. That is currently $12000. I'm better off with a 350z past that point as its performance is better by every metric in stock form and generally good condition '08 350z's go for about $13000.

    If it’s all 100% genuine mugen parts I’d say 30k easy, parts from mugen are like formula Atlantic and TRD parts for the AE86, they’re so rare just having the part makes your car more expensive

    I could definitely appreciate that civic build, 24 years ago nearly everybody My age was in to these cars because they were absolutely fun to drive with the capability of swapping engines and adding turbo kits. That was nearly every kids dream in the late 90s early 2000s to drive a fully built civic or integra!! Majority of the kids back then we get in the catalog and spend every last penny ordering headers exhaust intake, body kits, rims, or an engine swap to make them go faster. To me it was a much better time before every kid wanted a really expensive new challenger or charger with 700 hp and more, back then 24 years ago, we were happy with something with four wheels and an engine and starting from the ground up, and either you did a shitty job or you did a good job and got respect for it 🤷‍♂️😂

    They’re fun cars to drive with manual, but only the 80’s to early 00’s Civics actually have the toss-able feel, tons of torque off the line, and 115hp being enough to get to 60 in 8.4 secs. I’ve had an ‘88 sedan, ‘06 Hyrbid (awful awful car), and an ‘01 Coupe. The hybrid felt extremely weak with the CVT, and the turning radius almost had me going over a curb every time. I know the 1.7 in the 7th gen isn’t very moddable, but I’d take it over any automatic civic. The newer ones are too heavy to feel sporty or nimble.

    Very clean build but I would get one set of wheels all the way around. You can't ask a car guy (or gal) what a car is worth. Automotive enthusiasm knows no bounds. Somebody is out there about to drop 100k into a Suzuki Sidekick and love every minute of it. You can ask a dealership or an insurance adjuster what a car is worth, not an enthusiast.

    I wonder if the weight difference between wheels has any draw backs. I think the lighter weight wheel would be more prone to spinning.

      lighter wheels allow the tires to get up to speed slightly faster and put less stress on suspension components
