What performance parts do RL owners REALLY want?

GrumpySteelMan · 05-11-08, 01:48 AM

I really want to know, what do RL owners REALLY want? I mean that as in zero BS, I'd buy EVERYTHING on my list in less than three months time, didn't have to wait for a group buy, had a clear idea as to what I'd be getting, etc.

Make sure to include what you already have.

I encourage everybody to list their own ideas. Obviously the person who says 'turbo kit' or 'supercharger kit' has to be a well-heeled individual with at least one spare car...so spare us.

Obviously we have suspension choices from reasonable to outta sight...so lets try to stay performance oriented.

I would like to see:

ECU Chip (or a dev pack and a romulator)
Quiet, Stylish Catback

aside from what you said....probably just a shift kit. Most everything else is available, though it cost a grip.

EDIT:

no no, i know something. More powerful Ignition Coils. i don't know if that HKS ignition amplifier really works or not, but it would be nice to have something to bolster the standard coils.

a decent CAI.

and for exhaust I remember someone here showed me a remus sport one that was 480$

definitely ecu chip, & a better designed set of headers with included y pipe than the current one from obx, although for the price i'd still roll with obx for now. and lastly, vtec fluid.

you know what we need? some C-pro from Hondata.

make our redline 8K and have Vtec from 3.

OneBadNA1NSX · 05-18-08, 11:29 PM

Ummm..... we don't have vtec..

Hmm, I would like a throttle body upgrade...

A very good throttle body upgrade can be found at Maxbore.com throttle body boring service for around $110.

The Remus exhaust goes for just over $700 at Legend

I'd like a chip.

Faticus · 06-11-08, 05:16 PM

Uh, how bout anything with a decent horsepower:$ ratio w/o compromising the integrity of electrical components and longevity of the car!

Don't need retarded crap like a 100 shot of NOS or the remus exhaust ($700= 1-2 hp gain and a lil sound, WOW I'll take 4).

Peace MattyB!
