I always wonder if these people realize that huge wheels make their stock brake discs/calipers look very small? It's the first thing I notice when I see 22's on a decidedly non-performance oriented vehicle.

they're 17x9's :confused:

Is that a supercharger I see poking out? Have you taken it to the drag strip?

e: Sorry not a big fan of the stretched tires...nice looking wheels though. Almost makes your car look RWD. Almost.

The car was running consistent 13.4's at 105 on street tires at Atco raceway in new jersey, I'm sure on drag radials if I can get 60ft's down to 1.9 I can definitely smash a 12.9/8 pass. I'm waiting on the 3.15 pulley and bigger injectors then I'll be re-running it.

Wow...pretty quick. Do you get a lot of torque steer?

The car dyno's 273whp/183/wtq, so honestly there's really no torque steer. I've launched the car a few times off the "two-step" which is at 5500, and it definitely starts to torque steer but honestly it's more manageable and 1,000% easier to handle than my friends absolutely bone stock MazdaSpeed 3 which feels like the front end is going to collapse on itself. I'm hoping for 305/310whp with the new pulley, methanol and a retune from Jeff Evans.

Hey you live on long island, right?

I think you met my roommate at some parking lot car meet; he had a black saab 9-2x aero. He said he met a guy with a blue supercharged civic SI who said he knew me from here. Judging by the NY plates I'd say it's probably you. Basically, sup LI goon.

Haha, oh yeah you're the dude who has the silver Corrado I really, really loving want.

Well my issues were caused by a totally FUBAR'd Chinese knockoff header whose flexpipe had collapsed. I got a new Comptech header last June and it's been smooth sailing since. I'm still on the Comptech/Hondata ECU reflash since I'm just running the "stock" 5 pounds of boost. If I ever decide to raise that I'll be getting a K-Pro first!

Whenever you're ready to bite the bullet on a new pulley or injectors or a k pro lemme know. I've been a vendor with ct and hondata for a while.

Wow, that looks like it was drawn with a ruler.

It helps having one of the best tuners on the east coast tune your car, but even a basemap is going to be that linear and "un-honda" like.

Just so you know that dyno has been known to spit out somewhat inflated numbers.

The car made 312 on Forcefed's dyno and it made 307 on danny's dyno at HPI. I'd say it's a pretty well calibrated dyno.

Good bye, Mini Cooper that likes to burn 3 quarts of oil a month and hello Korean Goddess

I was crossshopping this with a Clubman, CR-Z and honestly neither were as outrageously well equipped as this and the CR-Z has to have one of the worst blind spots in the history of car design. Picked this up for 21,500 with every option possible including a rear camera that just seems unbelievably stupid. the clutch is vague and way too light but it'll help in california traffic.
