Its not a myth, the last thing we heard was the quantity of production problems... we will just have to wait.

Its not a myth. I know Rick Case just opened a new Honda dealership and either Doug is caught up with that or is caught up in production. It'll come out one day and will be awesome.

I honestly believe that Comptech will have the supercharger out shortly. They have put alot of time into it.

My RES would be the UR SS Pulley Kit, similar gains all across the power band.. I talked to a buddy of mine, he is a Maxima Car lover... owned many stick maximaz... He had crank pullyes on his last 2 maximaz....

No proablem whatsoever... Nill, Nada, Zilch problems at all!

He assured me that it's more balanced than the stock one.

My vote is for the titanium transmission that holds 900hp



Better off buying a car that is MOD friendly, or a 6MT CLS....

it's not a myth. Last i spoke with doug, he said that the prototype is done, the cad drawings exist, the CNC program is there, but the place where he was supposed to get them machined now changed their deal. He made a deal to produce 1000 of them, but the place is now upping the numbers 2400 if he wants the same price. Basically it's putting him into a bad financial situation with these cause while everyone seems interested, actually moving product once it's out is more difficult cause everyone talks and no one shows money (like with the comptech SC.. everyone said "i want one" and now that it's out (at least for accord), people start whining about every little thing)
basically if he can find another shop to do 1000 for the price he agreed upon, it'll be out... at least that's what he said

1) Few inlcuded myself were willing to pay $300 for this thing upfornt! Shit If I paid $300 for comptech sways, I could pay the same for the RES!

2) Few, inculding Scalbert, offered to help in the CNC process... Wy doug did not contact those guys for 1000 unit deals?

3) I am starting likening the UR pulleys kit for $300 or less! NO RES so what... I will be happy with UR pulleys!

I agree, I'd rather put those pulley's on a 6 speed instead of an auto.


Don't know about you, but I'm on my second tranny now, and pulleys, historically speaking, aren't the safest daily drive mod out there for the engine...eh...

My 2 cents...
