Installed the FMU and a few other small things. Everything went together perfectly and looked amazing. Shortly after I started smelling gas and my car burst into flames.






















J/K I'm still waiting.

Latest issue of Super Street (I rarely pay much attention to those magazines, but this one's good) pays a special tribute to the S2000 & other Hondas. The cover story is about a 852 HP S

Alex - Will you get yours tested at a dyno after the install? (852 HP - SHEESH!)

UPDATE: JULY 11:

I took lots of pics but I won't be able to load the rest till tomorrow night...

Well today I met 8Ball for lunch and he was kind enough to pick up the Crank Pulley tool. We had a good time and then I returned home and packed everything (or so I thought but we'll get to that later) into my trunk.



I waited around until about 5 for my friend to get off work so I could use his HUGE garage. I set out and it was pouring down rain. I hit a huge puddle of water and almost pulled a Ron as I spun back and forth through both lanes until I got it back.. WOOO!

I arrived at the garage, unloaded, and we set fans up on the car to cool the engine as we went to get dinner. At about 6:15 we got to it removing the CAI and STRUGGLING with the Crank Pulley. Ok, the tool was VITAL. If I didn't have it there is no way that thing would have come off. We fastened the tool to my STB to hold the pulley and my friend took out a 3ft breaker bar. We took turns tugging away until finally it went CRACK and my friend fell backwards into the wall. Now, I thought the crack sound was the bolt breaking free.. Boy was I wrong. He actually snapped the breaker bar! I could not believe it. Luckily, that force freed up the bolt and we got it out. Hyedracyl's tool was unharmed and we changed out the pulleys.

Everything else went perfect. 4.5 hours into it and we both agreed we could finish tonight. That is until we ran into the next problem. As we were installing the FMU we came to realize that my line was not near long enough and I had forgotten the hoses at my house

Oh well, we mounted the blower, A/C, Air Box... Just about everything but the FMU and the front mount. Tomorrow we will finish in a few hours including clean up. This thing is really put together well. I would say that if I had not forgotten the hose and we had not gotten such a late start we would have finished tonight. Oh, we also had to take a break because my friend with an evo stopped by and was having fun on the rock roads in the rain I have to own one of those some day.

"Pulled a Ron"

"Snapped the breaker bar"

Sounds like you made some great progress last night. Post up some more pictures when you get a chance.
