I love it, it made a nice difference throughout the powerband, especially up top. It really wants to rev now.

Insight drums will be coming in the spring along with another honda hybrid setup in the front

You should have more intake manis made. Looks 250 times better than that WR street sign manifold.
Lovin your car. Always have; its the K1s.

Nice write up there Mike! Props to you for the fabricating of the air box and your buddy for the intake. Oh yeah, the K1's look great, I've thought about another set

I LOVE it, fitment wise you need to drill out the holes in the front but other then that its fine. I prefer these to the t1r coilovers that i had hands down
