New Civic 1.8V AT. Questions questions... Hello fellow BHPians,
I'm from Trivandrum, Kerala and I've been lurking in this forum for a few months now, taking in all the info (damn, there's so much!).
We've been planning to buy a new car for a few months now (previously had a Premier Padmini which we sold in... 1998 I believe) and have zeroes in on the Honda Civic 1.8V AT. It's my dad's investment since I'm finishing up college :P He insists on getting an AT so he may drive it without much ado in bumper to bumper traffic.
I have some plans to mod this car (who doesn't?) as I graduate and have an income to sustain the hobby. I plan to turbo it in the 5-7 PSI range. My question is, will the semi-auto transmission be able to take the extra power? (Assuming I do the other stage one mods as well - air filter, FFE etc. etc.)
Also, I heard O.Z. wheels are now available in India. I've seen some of the replicas in the threads scattered across the forums, but my dad goes "I won't allow no ****ty replica on mah wheels!". So yeah, how much do 16" O.Z. alloys run for? (Particularly the Ultraleggera and Canova designs) and where can I get them?
I've got my hands on the handy dandy upsize chart, so it'll be 16" O.Z. rims shod with 205/55-16 tyres. I'm leaning to Yokohama S-Drives - do those come in that size? If so, where can I get them from in Trivandrum?
I've got a few hundred more questions, but they aren't really worth asking until I get my hands on the car itself, which will be around August if things go as planned. |
