Impressive numbers! I bet that car is fun.
I gotta say though I'm not a fan of the wheel color, but you knew that was coming. And it needs a little more camber, fitment is kind of awkward the way it is now.

10mp image cameras are fully unnecessary for the average consumer. You don't need images larger than 2mp really. Unless you're doing something professional or pinting off huge pictures.
As for the car, it's clean. I would like the wheel color on that car if it were black. Kind of like this car:

My camera is 8, I leave it set at full quality because I like to crop pictures or zoom in to look smaller things once I'm on the computer. 8 is overkill if all you're using it for is to post on forums or show friends, but that doesn't mean the every day person doesn't have a use for better quality.
And agreed about the wheels, I don't have an issue with colors, but it has to fit, something about that orange on the white is just awkward. Personally I'd go with red, about the same shade as the tail lights.

Nice body, and an impressive dyno pull! However, it's the wheels... I'm not sure about the color but color aside, something just looks off about their fit...

I think you guys are thinking the wheels look odd because he's got that euro VW style going on and for once it's a honda without 14-15" wheels. Not that there's anything wrong with small wheels. Just probably not used to seeing them.

Nope, I'm more into Euro styling than JDM

(VWs are a bit extreme though, more BMW, this is kind of a half way point) It's the camber, with that much stretch and poke it needs more negative camber to go along with it.
But pictures often look different from real life, so maybe it's fine in person.

I don't mind the wheel color, at all. The stretched tires, however, should be on a Volkswagen.
Otherwise, the power looks nice. The plot raises questions though. What you posted is really peaky. With the RPM range of most Hondas, I'm curious as to why you have such sharp peaks in your torque and HP.
Glad you checked in though. We miss you OG's.

thanks for all the comments guys.
the wheels are really orange. it looks alot different in person because its actually a candy that goes between bright orange yellow to dark orange red. the fit is fine in person but i could use a bit more lowering and a bit more camber in the back. i just dont have enough money for a camber kit right now
heres a better pic in the sunlight
as far as the power band, yes its a bit peaky but hondas tend to have peak hp higher up anyway. it was tuned on the street very conservatively. hopefully ill be getting a full tune on these new high impedence injectors. they are supposed to have better atomization than any other injector on the market. im trying to break 300 whp and get up to 35 mpg. im already running at 30 mpg mixed driving. (1000cc injectors)
the wheel size is 17x9 +35 in front +30 in back to clear the trailing arm. on 215 40. i think im gonna get 205 40 next go around though

Yea that pic looks much better, front fitment looks good there, rear looks better but like you said needs a tad more camber but it's not as awkward looking as the first couple pics.

looks like fun. i would cut the sheetmetal and put on some universal fender flares so i could fit wider tires on those awesome wheels.
