Those vids remind me of when we Orlando imports would go to tampa to street race the nicest imports on what was www..com. I dont even know if that site is up as this was 10yrs ago.

Although you do lose a lot of the plush features characteristic of Acura. Heated mirrors, nav?, steering wheel controls, auto dim rear mirror, etc little things like that.

Pleeeeeeeeease tell me you have some driving vids of this car? I HAVE to see it in action! That thing is SICK!!! I'll bet that's the fastest configuration of the J32 in a Honda "Accord" platform - (I Mean not the civic). Seriously!
The p2r accord had more power and only weighed 2300 lbs, I dont see any possibility of this being faster.


Sorry to hear about the tl, but I actually prefer the accord. It has to be a few hundred pounds lighter. I wish I could race you in my cl to see how our cars match up. Did you say you are running 225/40/18 tires? Think I am gonna go for 255/35/18 for my next set. Still debating if I want to use the light weight flywheel, just worried about long term compatibility/damage to other parts.

The aasco flywheel is solid. I have been running it for a year now, it is Just as reliable as stock but lighter.

Also i went to the track last night and ran a 13.3 in the quarter.

thanks. If you ask me the comptech supercharger is a waste of money. You can make the car almost as fast with just bolt ons. If i were to boost I would turbo it.
