16" Team Dynamic Mirage rims. I picked these up a while back from a buddy, CHEAP! They came from the factory, flat black, then they were spray painted white, then black. I have a hookup on powdercoating so I had them stripped and coated a color called black chrome. Looks gunmetal to me. I wish now that I had done them bronze. Oh, well.

No turkey call guy. I'll leave that to the dsm homo's :y

Well more bad luck for me. Cruising around last night (saturday) and took off from a light. Shifted into second and matted it. Next thing I know, my tranny is shooting ---- out the bottom. WTF!!! Oil everywhere. Trail down the street atleast an 1/8th mile before I could pull off. I went back The next day, and picked up the pieces. Chunks of tranny case and a spider gear laying in the road. That totals 2 trans. in the period of a month on the road. Here's the pics:

Damn bro! :-X Sorry for your lose. I've been tooling with Honda's for around 8 years and have had my fair share of fail. I'm starting to get abit discouraged now, though. I just can't get a break. :3

Re: Finished turbo civic project***Now with epic failure***
 
I don't understand it either. I've had a handfull of b trans and never had issues with them till now. This is the 2nd boosted honda i've had. Plus a built n/a motor that saw a good share of track time. Never had a issue. Time to hit up the boneyards, like you said. ;)

I put a spare ls trans in, so it's good again. Then last week, while taking my wife out for her birthday, the timing belt went out. Luckily nothing happened. Belt only had 65k on it. I towed it home and threw another belt on. Good to go. Here's some pics of the tranny.
