in preparation for a day at PG

changed wheels to ADVAN Racing RZ 18" ET+45 8jj (~$1000)
bought SPC camber bolts (~$50, wheel alignment ~$80) to camber front out so that tyres will not rub against fender.
changed all 3 gaskets (~$250) as the VTEC and main gasket are already not doing their job too well.

Mileage : ~123,000 km

FD2R engine
opened up the engine to change the gaskets

wheel alignment
wheel alignment with -2 deg camber on the front wheels to prevent rubbing.
this wheels set-up should not rub, however, the suspension is not doing too good anymore, hence it bounces a lot.
as of check time, clearance for driver side tyres is 1 finger, passenger side is 2 fingers
