You'll see when its all done. I'm expecting around 150whp although it says higher on the kit. I do have a restrictive b pipe still. We'll see the numbers though. Dyno for after the kit is on and dyno for Texas weather. Can't wait. Going to call them today to see how far they've gotten.

 

I got an e-mail from Oscar Jr. at Kraftwerks yesterday and he was not too optimistic about me having the s/c in time for the meet.

That sucks.

I think the thing is basically done, they just keep referring to "getting the s2K kit out the door". Damn.

I do have a T1R header that will be on in a few days...that's something I guess, but it ain't a supercharger, that's for sure.

The meet will be fun regardless though, and like I said, I'll be slinging some serious photo gear so we should get some real nice shots of everyone's car. I'm pretty handy in Photoshop too, so I'll pick some real good ones and spend some extra time on them.

Yes, I am trying to convince myself it will still be fun with no s/c. It would just be such a cool opportunity to have both a T1R turbo and a Kraftwerks supercharger there together.

 

For sure it would've been fun. There's always next time. Great! you got some photo gear. I have a measly camera phone.

Update. I called the shop, they haven't started on my car yet I have a line in front of me. I'm going to call them again to push it out. They should've let me know there were cars ahead of me. Otherwise I'd drop off my car another time and not be bumming off my parents for so long. So yet, another wait

 

Did they give you an time frame on when your gonna get it back??

 

Time frame was 2-3days...that's if they started it. I didn't know they haven't started on it yet. And they did not mention there's a line of cars ahead of me. I put in a request to do it on Monday about 1.5 weeks prior. I'm giving them a call again...the owner wasn't there when I called. I need to talk to him again.

 

Man dude that sucks....hopefully you get in time and running right before the meet.

 

It will be for sure. Just ack with no car!

 

thats a bummer, sorry to hear that. they arent charging you any sort of storage fees for your car are they? i know alot of shops do that sort of thing.

 

No way...I'd bitch about that. I've already agreed to a set price.

 

thats good, that would deffinitely be a way for someone to get screwed if they didnt have a set price.

 

Thats one thing I Love about Houston, theyres several known performance shops to choose from when it comes to boosting your ride.

 

yea unfortunately, I only know of like 3 shops here. The one I go to usually has good customer service. Just this time they forgot to mention their work load. One of the other ones I don't like at all because prices are jacked up and hardly any help. Everyone has their own way of business. Just don't want to get screwed.

Saturday is my finish date. They will put my car on the dyno tomorrow. I'll be ready

 

Man thats awesome...cant wait to check it out

 

I just called them...Car is on the dyno for baseline tests.

 

Like who? I've been driving to Austin. The only guys I found are ASAA on Long Point. Don't know much about them though.

 

that bit of road right befor tom hughes park looks like a blast, i m familiar wit hwy 16 near SA but know nothing about austin area, so no sugestions here. im drivin back to SA that night so im out on the hotel thing. wonder what the twisties will be like with my new goodies in the car??? cant wait to find out!!!

 

What's the new goodies Smirff?

 

Are you serious, why?? Yes there is ASAA racing down Longpoint. They are a well respectable shop, and very recommendable. Although there are also other shops here in Houston that can work on your Fit like Secret Services. The owner/mechanic Dave there is actually a really awesome guy with affordable prices. He tuned my friends Prelude plus did some work on my old crx. I can vouch for him that he knows his stuff. Actually Gabe(GROC80) on here is boosting his civic thru them. There is also Inline Racing located on 1-10. Huy is incharge there and is a great shop too. There is also Jason with Stoopidfast and Turbochargers.com. There is also Randy from Attitude Racing, not to mention that he drives a K20 Honda Fit.
Jeff honestly there is WAY too much going on over here for you to be driving to Austin. Just my opinion though.
