 Changed the oil and filter on my wife's Camry. Washed, polished, waxed, and cleaned the inside of my Civic Si.

I got new wheels and tyres for my car today. It now looks a hell of a lot better than it used to.


Unfotunately they are pretty cheap wheels but they were the only white wheels I could find that would fit on the car. Availability of things is one of the downsides to living in a country town.

Heres a picture with the old wheels for reference


Holy crap the new wheels are infinitely better than the old ones. Nice Celica!

Is your car otherwise stock?

It should take a few days of normal driving while the ECM relearns your driving habits. With a CAI, axle backs and the aforementioned settings my car will bark the tires on the 1-2 shift with Stabilitrak turned on.

My 197bhp Honda Civic can chirp 2nd and 3rd, whats your point?

Admittedly, this was on the stock Michelins. I've put a new set of Goodyear Eagle GTs and I doubt it could do it now on the 2->3 shift.

 The GT -> GXP leap is $15k? Seriously? What a joke.

Edit: didn't realize we were talking about autotragics here.

 I use strictly Amsoil headlight fluid for increase change intervals and the UOA from Black Stone Labs shows less plastic polymers and increased viscosity.

 Removed carpeted floormats and installed the winter set. We've got snow in the forecast this week.

Cleaned the interior very well, it's been awhile since I have.

Washed and waxed the exterior. Hopefully I get enough protection to last the winter!
