LOL - that's so tacky. I'm so glad I decided to go with a turbo.

Their supercharger kit was ridiculously priced. There are much better options that are just as reliable. I think the fact that we're not going to have comptech diffs is the biggest problem. Everyone with them is going to be able to charge a LOT more for them now. I just sold mine last month!

I only have a Comptech flywheel now - I have it because it's a nicely made lightweight piece; the brand name meant absolutely nothing to me though.

What about the 06 SCs? Did they even get a chance to make them and distribute those so I could possibly get my hands on one? Vortech don't make 06 SCs do they?

I sent then a new differential carrier last week to modify.

I guess it is all about timing.

Yup. Even ice cream doesn't taste good now. The world as we know it is over. Pretty soon there will be country music ballads about the tragedy.

Comptech has made awesome parts for a HOST of cars, not just the NSX and S2K. I am sad to see them go. Many of you say they didn't have quality parts, and I agree to some extent. Their quality has gone downhill the last 2-3 years. Prior to that however, all of their parts & R&D were of EXCEPTIONAL quality.

I remember they had J30 headers that made power and were out in retail while others stayed in 'prototype' land indefinitely...of which they still are!!!

I hear you on the specializing in Hondas, but Oscar Jackson is a true Honda guy , Just cuz he sells things for other makes and models doesn't mean he is not a great Honda Tuner . I have talked to him on a few occasions and almost all of the early Jackson Racing parts were for the Honda brand. He know's his stuff and is a pretty down to earth guy
Agreed that Oscar Jackson is as qualified to work on Honda's as anyone else around. That being said...

I have come to understand Oscar Jackson know longer has any affiliation with the Jackson Racing moniker.
Oscar retired a while ago and has since sold the naming rights to a company called Moss Motorsports.

Be aware when those JR S/c's come out that you are no longer buying products affiliated with Oscar himself. You are buying from a 3rd party manufacturer that simply bought a motorsports reputation instead of earning one themselves.
