Just minor bolt on stuff. I have a tsudo cat back to put on in a few days. Also trying to track down a reasonable ram air intake for it as well. Then some lowering springs. Oh and some 8k hids are going to be on order soon.

Good luck man. They aren't to common out here either but you can find them. When you move or even now join AZHT.net. Its an AZ honda forum and there are some good peeps on there. Probably the best place to find a hatch for sale also.

I am enjoying a PRM intake on my 07 a/t. Getting a Megan axleback on Tuesday so it'll probably be even meaner when that comes along. Definitely addresses the high end taper that I noticed with the stock airbox.

Ok so I put the Tsudo catback on and it made quite a notable differnece. The car is much more eager now and much more so in sport mode. Anyways gave the fit a bath and snapped a few pics.

Looking good. I have the same Cat Back and love it. Try looking in the DIY area of this thread for the SSR Intake. You may like it. Keep up the good work.


May i be the first to +rep for the sexiest color out there on both cars........

Um yeah Yuma isn't the most amazing place out there. But you are just a short drive to San Diego. That's the best way to beat the summer heat.

Considering Yuma is at least 3 hours from anyplace you would want to be yes its a short drive. Really its Phoenix or San Diego and either one is 3 hours so if it were me I would choose San Diego. Plus you get to get out and stretch your cars legs. Not bad if you ask me. I am driven from Phoenix to San Diego alone several times and while it is a long drive its not terrible and there are few places in the world I would say beat out San Diego for a vacation spot and none of those are 3 hours away.

Thank you so much for suggesting this. Perfect intake option for a daily car. Here we go. God the bay needs to be cleaned.

First off yes please clean the bay. Dirty. Second your welcome this diy intake is lovely. Try adding another 90° elbow to it and put filter in front of battery. This will allow it to pull less hot air. As is now is ok, but on long drives you will feel the difference when it heats up. Just another suggestion. Paint looks good as well on the engine cover. Keep up the work.

Yeah we have been hit by several big dust storms lately and I haven't wanted to clean anything because the next one rolls right in and it rains just enough to cover everything in mud. Maybe this weekend. Thanks again and I thought about adding another elbow but this is ok for now. I like that the filter isn't resting on anything and also moving it maybe 6 inches isn't going to make a huge difference. We will see. It is a great alternative to the $200 intakes everyone seems to sell that do excactly the same thing. When if comes down to it it is a piece of pipe with a bend of 3 in it and a filter. Not really sure what part of that costs $200 to make esp since most of them aren't CARB compliant of anything. Very happy with how this looks an feels!
