You will have plenty of time Kid.
I'd been follow your project thread and you will be there fer sure, you have "The Passion" and dedication, and most important , you are well educated and respectful.
In my case I'm a "hot rod" junkie for my entire life,and I had the opportunity to met many people, back then and now.
Funny enough this is my only second 4 banger car project,but the tC has a good potential.
Let's see how far we'll go

You are welcome Kid!
We can meet anytime, looking forward to it!
PM and we can arrange.
Winter is here, and I don't ride my bikes much during the cold season, perfect timing to have some fun with the tC's in the canyons.

Sorry but this coming week-end I have to be at the Long Beach Motorcycle Show.
That's our annual gig for quite a long time.

Welcome, 1087! Excited to see another build and I really appreciate the before and after Dyno runs. It's always nice to see actual numbers each step of the way.

Glad to see you're enjoying the exhaust! There's a lot more you can gain from this system if you know what I mean. Our turbocharged Time Attack tC2 is making 360+ hp and is running the same configuration as this system. What do you plan on doing next?

Thanks for the kind words!

this makes me want to get the G-Reddy exhaust over any other exhaust. Is it worth to drop $800 on an exhaust without hopes of going turbo?

It's greddy, after being in the Honda game for so long, I've come to know greddy as a high quality company. Plain and simple.

Greddy is worth every penny

you can get the cheap stuff for A LOT less...but if you want the real quality stuff, trust companies like Greddy

Default Suspension Mods

Part 2 of my project with DSPort mag was performed December 5th 2011.
Since my car is a daily driver (120 miles) commute, we choose to avoid coil overs.
TRD springs, sway bars and strut brace been selected.
Installation was straightforward with no hiccups to mention, everything fits great.
Car feels solid and predictable, mission accomplished.
More info in the current issue of DSport.
Here few pics of the install.

the main reason your car shows less is because it looses more power out the automatic transmission. Manual trans you have less parts moving and loose less power to the wheels. but wont loose much power like in the old days.
