Bitium - what about us 99 guys? I remember from the original discussions that a RES for the 99TL would fit on the v6 accord. Wouldn't it be much easier to get presells for that model?

It just sounds too far fetched to be true.

Cost Drivers!!!!
A memeber from Acura-cl.com suggested this:
Side note....................
I think a deposit of say 100-dollars would generate MORE interest.
That’s enough to get the ball rolling on the development, but you’re not putting the whole enchilada out all at once.
Plus, people would be less likely to back out after signing up if they stood to loose 100-clams.
I’m guessing at least HALF of the people that say YES in this thread will never buy the thing.
It always seems to work out that way.

I'm working right know on getting a test unit, so we members could tested and have some feedback. We are also planning on filming the installation and the performance gains on the track, also taking pictures. Right know, Tim, Ron, Doug and myself will do this.

I just don't understand
Here is a comparison I did for the TL-P:
The Type S has higher numbers.

The creator is just a person that use to work for Rick Case Acura/Honda, performance department. His name is Doug, good friend of some members. He was also the Service Director at both locations. I'm not sure who is the acutal manufacturer that is producing the units, I will post as soon as I find out.

Like you said it doesn't have any electronics or moving parts so, to take a overly simplistic view, thats expensive for a little square piece of metal. Of course I realize that there is R&D, testing, etc, etc and materials are the smallest portion of the cost. But when you look at what you get, the reaction is why should it cost so much...(of course see the preceding sentences).
By dyno I was indicating the final production version matches that which has already been provided.

Well, your sig doesn't list a CAI but people payed abotu $200 for that so...... Considering the market price of HP for the CL the RES seems good.

So what's the deal?????????????????? I hope doug sees this stuff and realizes that there is substantial interest. Get those cars to dynos, video tape and get the tape on this website!!!!!
I think that demonstration of the product will do alot in terms of consumer interest
