Glad to see she is finally back together & running again...Car looks good man! I'm glad you kept AC...I've had my car for 6 years & just can't get myself to pull the AC out of it...
Man this makes me wish I was back in the ATL. All these black folks with 500+ hp evos, ATL is where it's at. I got E-Spec building me a LR 2.4 high compression setup so I look forward to cruising stroked style with u next time I'm in town. Ditto with Psych, that manifold is crucial right now. Dual wastegated??

Do you even have to ask. I have a friend that was suggesting I use a shroud to help with cooling (they did this on a drift car they built and was having overheating issues).
I'm not worried about it since it cools just fine. Quality as always

I rode with no AC in my hybrid civic 10 years ago....I will not do it again. It would've been a deal breaker. Everyone talks about Ac with FF setups but besides honey on boost there hasn't been too many actually doing it. I'm just glad I was able to do it relatively inexpensively.
Not hijacking this thread; but yea i'm 650+ right now. Turbo went 675, but was on a single scroll setup. Either I'm going crazy or this man has three sets of wheels. Sell me a set.

Sold the Rota's. Bought the M1R's from RavSpec (Thanks Mark) then Gruppe-S posted about their limited edition SL's and I called them to see about price.....crunched the numbers and decide *** it. Got them too. LOL. I wasn't sure if I was going to hold on to both but I like them both equally.

600-650 is the new 500
700+ is the new 600.
At least in Atlanta
I'm guessing on E85 I'm somewhere in the 500's (based on the butt dyno maybe on the upper side), and the power is stupid. For the guys that have 750+......you're crazy.
