But does anyone know how to delete AC compressor? Because it's on a single belt, maybe a shorter belt? Info on size?

I was spending 2K and more every few months for about 3 years.... Come to think about it, I spent $600 just yesterday... There is always going to be parts needed to beef up the parts that are being over strained by the power gains from the last parts installed...

Same here! I know my modifications have topped 2 K but if Uncle Sam refund is enough - swapping out the front headlights for black - something I've always wanted to do!

I'm up around $3300 at the moment if you include the cost to install the springs, mount & balance the tires, and an alignment. A local Big O did not charge me to initialize the TPMS sensors:

Enkei J10 16x7 wheels
Continental DW 205/50R16 tires
H&R sport springs
new TPMS sensors
Honda center console
Honda Homelink transmitter
Honda cargo net
USA Spec BT35 bluetooth adapter
Hoen turn signal, sidemarker, and fog light bulbs (ordered but not installed)

And I have an appointment with a local tint shop for March 9.

edit: and FWIW, this will be about it. My BMW has a mod list that is still around $8k or $9k deep (6 speed transmission swap, 3.46 diff, performance package bumpers, M3 side skirts, anthracite headliner) and once that list is depleted, the future Porsche 911 fund needs funding.

Same here. I have total of about 25 k in my car and have done it in about 3 years. Thats not including cost of car. And i just bought rear disk conversion and working on something special that would be new to the US.

It should be ready for the 2014 race season.

I picked up some black HID retrofit lights, Mugen style front bumper, J's grille, Beatrush panel and many many more bits and pieces last year... I'll get all of it on the car one of these days...I have saved the stuff not related to engine performance and suspension for last.

Your car has ran the gamut of modifications... The custom fabrications you had done must have set you back quite a few times more than than what you'd needed to spend to be posting on this thread.... If I'd put what I've spent on my car into firearms and ammunition I could be shitting in tall cotton right now.. I keep thinking about the amount of money I will need to spend on beefier drive train components in order to use tires that will handle the power increase I'm expecting... I should be receiving the Flashpro Friday....I need to put an end to this madness.....

Only good thing at this point the GE has little to offer in aftermarket parts as compared to the GD and Civic. My Miata I have spent more then the car cost without any upgrades to the engine.

Maybe you guys could include pictures of your cars and said parts. It would make this thread a lot better.

Lol thanks. Ya its not even k20 yet. Ive got works for k20, jdm, wider wheels and tires, and something special i cant say yet. Hopefully all for 2014 racing season.

Its def a great picture and everytime i went around that turn i hit those rumble strips and jumped. It help me transfer weight to turn.
