i need opinions on wheels! help me people! remember i'm trying to be semi sleeper so lets not say 18" chrome shit and i do enjoy taking the fofo to the track so lets say keep the wheels below 17lbs each

these!

work makes some of the best wheels on the market, especially for the price. They're a direct competitor to Advans for half the price.

so should i go header and flex with cc or should i go stage 2 clutch with short throw or short throw and just header
You need to buy that ebay header and flex that i bought. And then i'd say a tune, but you dont have that listed so i'll say the short throw. You're not making near enough power to justify spending money on a clutch right now. Wait til your clutch takes a poopoo and if you plan on going FI around that time upgrade to something better. It would be a waste for you right now though.

ebay header: $150 shipped
short throw: $100 + shipping
tune: $380 shipped

Honestly though. If you got a tune with your header, you would notice a difference. With everything i had on my car i noticed a pretty decent difference. My car had good cam timing from the factory though. If you think about it. A clutch is going to cost you as much or more for parts and labor, compared to a tune. Personally i'd buy all 3!

i call bs. if its a d-series turbo its garbage. the d16 was cool and all, but it 1. sounds like ass, and 2. performs like shit.

get an old civic si or crx hatch that has an h22 or b16/18 swap. those can get some real power with some cheap work.
