Thanks Brian!

Wasn't quite happy with the turnout of the exhaust tips; just didn't look right...

For my application, most certainly... For you, (IMHO) depending on how much boost you're running? I don't recommend it for anything less than +/-7lbs... Again, all subjective depending on your application & goals.

Honestly couldn't say? I was fortunate to find a tech/shop that likes working on my car. HUGE plus...

Pleasure dude; next time I'll bring the bike and hit the trail with ya. It's been at least 7 months since that bike has seen any dirt.

P2R Exhaust

Sounds pretty freaking sick! Not loud, deep tone, & zero rasp. Drone is non-existent while cruising... Quite intoxicating with the sound of the blower at WOT. Hope to get some rolling shots soon *cough* Jeremy & Austin *cough*

Thanks! It definitely does keep temps down in combination with the meth; but, with it comes slight pressure loss with the added piping. Hence the custom pulley make up the difference in lost pressure. If you're really interested in doing the same, shoot me a pm with your contact info.

Nope; funds are better used on other mods. I will at some point though. The car feels great otherwise; it's an absolute blast to drive. Love it!

Sure do; 175ml/min nozzle for 250 to 375hp applications. Running 50/50 blend of VP Racing M1 Methanol and generic brand (Publix) distilled water. Really easy to measure; dispense the entire gallon of water; fill the same gallon with meth; dispense that.

I've only filled the tank twice since I installed the kit...

I ran into the issue of the nozzle being entirely to big for my application at first... Libert was running the 625ml/min nozzle (meant for 475 to 600hp) on his J&R turbo kit. Since the nozzle came with the kit and it isn't numbered or marked when I brought it, I didn't know until I spoke to him. The car was running SUPER rich; dipped straight into 10.1 and stayed there once the kit started spraying. Even after spraying, at idle, the engine would bog down as there was too much liquid in the manifold.

My tuner advised that along with the cooling capabilities, the meth serves as fuel as well. After a couple of pulls on the street, we pulled fuel where needed on the EMB. There's a data logger on there that shows you what's going on in realtime; pretty neat.

It's no Hondata by any stretch of the imagination, but it does surely get the job done.

A bike rack heavy duty enough to have an extra vehicle on the car? Is this for weight savings so you don't have to keep a spare tire in the trunk in case of flat?

GOOD THINKING!

back your car into the bay. Place white car on roof rack. Connect white car's engine to your rear wheels = AWD!

Fully gutted hatch w/ B18C1 swap that the shop owner is working on. It's an autocross project for shits & giggles; should be fun to drive when he's done with it.
