Who needs snow tires? I was using General Altimax HP.. I believe we took this thread in a different direction.. 
2004 93,4xx miles.
Bought it with 60,000 and had to replace all coils shortly after. couldn't believe how it ran after that.
When they were putting it back together after doing the coils the plastic "nub" snapped off the upper hose assembly. My mechanic plastic welded it back on which lasted a few months then it broke and I had to replace that with a new one.
That's been it until recently.
Check engine light is on giving "bank too lean" type messages and idling low in cold weather, but rinning fine once warmed up. Will be having that looked into next week.
The car runs so smooth and silent when everything is good that you easily notice when something is up. Any little shiver while idle is noticable because it doesn't happen normally.

02 lse
133,333 (just hit that on my way home)
Eibach 1"lowering spring kit (early '10)
along with ebc brakes and rotors from LSK
-New Goodyear tires 235's same time
need new snow tires next year
(and other regular maintenance-sparks70k/tranny flush every 30k)
Factory 6disk Deck burnt out..replaced with Pioneer avic x920bt
-need to replace steering wheel cruise control/audio controls (they were going out when i bought the car oct '09 at 103,000) 105$ each
-need to fix back driver side window (also broken upon purchase, not 100% positive on issue-i just don't open it)
Other than that my gen 1 has been very nice to me.
working on getting clear corner headlights/9k hid's or something along those lines. custom intake (somewhere on the forums), finishing the audio system with tweeters and a bigger power cap, louder exhaust and the 3piece west wing spoiler one day would be a nice addition too...
but that should come with a new paint job in a year or two, hard to tell but shes got quite a few imperfections here n there
(dont meant to take up a grip of space but this is my first offical pic post)
Enjoy!
Btw you said a 5spd 1st gen, apparantly thoes are rare?
i recall a few posts that ive read on here about them

He has Fondmentals.. 19s.. They don't make them any more..
BTW, Pete.. Your such a Pic whore!!!
Agreed about the pic whore comment! Fondmetal still makes wheels, they no longer have North AMerican retailers. If you wanted a set you can pay around $4k-$5k and order them from the UK.
2001 with 101k+
Thx.
Im up in North Branch rgiht now, been trying to move closer to the cities, but for now...
I was going to inquire about it for the fall one, but i was outta state durring the week of the meet
came with them when i bought it...and to be honest really handy in the winter. No snow buildup in the bottom part of the wheel wells. sad thing is i broke one on the drivers side after i got the suspension lowered and now i get build up there.
-other thing u might see. is the chrome on the door pillars. its only on one side X_X i didnt like the look of it after i put it on, but when i went to remove it, it started to peel off all the coating on the plastic so i decided to leave it till i can get a new paint job.
