Don't got time to look it up, just do a search. The flywheel is a much better upgrade.

Oh yeah, pimp the FM baby, its da hotness

and "clowns"... yeah. werd on that one. your car's theme is the kind of thing id dream up once in a while.
ok again i will try to address everyones comments to the best of my abilities
JAA: thanks for the comments. as far as the intercooler goes, the turbine of the supercharger can actuallu unbolt, rotate and re bolt together, it has several mounting points around the unit for the screws as the super itself is a universal vortech and is used in many cars mounted in many different positions. for the intercooler you can turn the super so it is pointing down, run a pipe in front of the radiator, through the passenger side of the front area, through the intercooler, then follow the path of a normal cold air intake. relocateing the battery might be necessary but i have not taken measurements yet, like i saqid you could follow the path of a normal cold air once on the drivers side of the car. Im so done with hondas and certain people that drive them i dont pay attention to people who dont understand.
As for the radio yes its mounted where my glove boxwould be, kinda ghetto but it works for now, and yes i hafta use a remote, haha
Well thanks everyone for the comments, and keep an eye out in PH for my 1/4 mile times, i will posting them as soon as i stop typing this, so i guess ill stop

btw, "can be used in many positions"... it's like the perfect gir... uh... nvm!
Dang fine dude!!!! Real performance parts, what we need to see more of
A cage is sure fine to have, proper seats, belts, getting there, check out the suspension posts occasionally, doing alot of research and development in that area that may help you out and no plans to market this stuff, doing it for our car to go faster.
Who knows, maybe we will end up selling a few things but that would be a sideline to the real purpose of going fast in the twisties like you are working on;)
Our car is going in soon for the back half of a cage but done so we can remove bars for back seat use on occasion. We are going with 2,500 class chromolly tubing to save weight so if we want to go full out racing later we have to make sure the car is that lite when the full cage is done

I don't know who made his, but Autopower Inc. Makes cages and roll bars for our tC's now too...
I have the roll bar from them, which does not have the front cage associated with it (MUCH safer for the daily driver)...
I'll have pictures of it installed this weekend, as I just painted it BSP last night... It's a good option for the daily drivers out there who want to run race seats and harnesses....
