2. why are there no picures of the supercharger? you should be pimping that shit

try getting one of those dual guage pod cluster plastic trim

i know they make it, cause you make the guages brighter for the a/f and the boost?

how is the tranny holding up with the supercharger? and is your cara daily driver?

got more pics? recent pics?

Where did you get the indiglos from? Is the whole chrome kit part of the gauge package? How much were they?

I don't think they even make them for the 94-97 accords...i tried looked for it before....cause the temp and gas guage will be covered up unlike the other cars they make it for...so maybe that's why they don't make them for the 94-97 accords...

There isn't room for that. I'd just pick up some 2.25" (w/e size the guages are) tubes, and fiberglass my own. We don't have the same room as the new Accords to.

They don't make the dual dash gauge pods for our cars, I've only seen them for Honda Civics. Otherwise I would have definitely bought those. I know I didn't want A-Pillar(too visible for cops), so I came as close as I could with what I did.
Yeah, it blocks off the temperature & fuel(you can see them from the side) but those things are less frequently monitored when you're driving so it wasn't that big of a loss.

The indiglo gauges & the silver face w/chrome rings I got off ebay separately. Get the ones for 96-97 Accord.

One vendor to stay away from, carpart168@yahoo.com Bad customer service, make that no customer service. He sent the wrong gauges, never replied to email, I'm still stuck with them.

Supercharger has been on 1.5 years.

No problems with the tranny so far, I am on my original. I have a tranny cooler installed with an inline filter and use Redline Hi-Temp ATF. The big issue is off-the line traction which I now realize sucks with FWD. I have Bridgestone S03 tires which stick/break loose(ie wheelhop) on full throttle. So I gotta be careful as too many of those will mess up any transmission.

I thought about all kinds of crazy shit, like 3.5L conversion. But I don't think that will get me into the sub-5sec 0-60 or 12's. I will need to go to an M3,C32, or C55 to really get the performance I want. So for now, this will be it.

As for performance, supercharged 98-02 accords are running low 14's, some have broken the 13 barrier(spare removed).
The best I've managed so far is a disappointing 14.9. The few times I've been to the track was when it was 35 degrees or below so traction sucked off the line. I need to figure out the launch properly as I can't just mash on the throttle.
I trap avg 96mph, haven't got a 60ft time below 2.6sec yet.

I plan on going more often when the weather gets warmer. Yeah, I should dyno the damn thing now.
