Not that fart-can stuff with the wings and all those garbage graphics and etc.
Dunno, that's just goofy and defeats the entire for real "tuner" concept to me....don't need to put on a turbo kit for 'X' amount of horse power then put in a stereo system and a body kit that gives you a worse horse power to weight ratio than what u started with lol..
Anyway, glad to see some one in the tuner world with their head screwed on right.

I appreciate that man....I also hate all the "ricey" mods that are out there, and I hate to say it but I started out ricing this car but thank the lord I didn't get too far before I saw the "light" lol........yea, no turbo or s/c for this honda, I am more into the n/a idea for this engine, just the way I think, turboing this engine for example - it has 10.2:1 compression, so to turbo it and do it right id have to lower the compression which to me takes the motor away from its true "form" and to s/c im not even sure, s/c isnt in the pic at all.......so heres a list of my mods, this is current..
