Who in the hell would actually buy that? It'd have to be a professional race team. I'd really like to know what the gains would be.
Yeah carbon fiber driveshafts are actually much more prevalent (and less costly) on domestics -- I had a Camaro with one on it, it knocked about a tenth-and-a-half off of my 1/4 for about $1000. Plus if you ever snap a driveshaft, it won't go through your floorpan, it actually just splinters and cleans the underside of your car

part of me want to smash 230 with the heavy ass wheels on it.

i am actually wanting to trade someone my ASA's for some AP2 wheels+ a bit of cash. the asa's go for around 1100 with tires and AP2's go for around 800 or so. anyone got any ideas?

Just did a seafoam treatment again...car runs alot better It's been 25k miles since I did it last.
I'll be willing to bet I had alot of carbon in there from trying to tune these ITB's...we ran them rich for a long time till we got the fuel map trimmed out

It's so easy with itb's...just pour seafoam into a spray bottle, then squirt once down each intake runner, wait, repeat until 1/2 can is used, or tired of doing it
20 minutes of smoke later, smooth idle and power delivery.

autozone, or any other auto parts store. Most people let it suck in through one of the vacuum lines on the manifold (pinch the line, or it'll suck in too fast and stall out), but I always preferred spraying it directly at the throttle plate.

I would stay away from that exhaust if your car was a daily driver. A somewhat local S2000 owner has it on his car, and it makes my ears bleed. I like the fact that it's really loud in VTEC, but you can't cruise on the freeway at 4000 rpms, there is a lot of drone.
