Yeah I saw that and laughed too! Slap on a bunch of bolt ons and HOPE for 20HP. Should have gone FI if you were hoping for real gains.

That's what I said in the comments section. I also mentioned using a test pipe . I love how they blame karma for the hp loss

Their first dyno session was definitely a fluke. It would make me question all the dyno numbers they have gotten off that Dynapak.

They did 3 pulls I beleive and got a consistent number. Unless the owner changed some setting on their dyno to read lower then I'm going with they lost power. There not the first. That exhaust isn't gaining them anything

I have been following this. Pretty entertaining, especially if you are a S2000 fan.

I was wondering what offset they used on the wheels. It is time for new rims on mine and was thinking about trying to squeeze a 10" wide under the rear of mine but have been on the fence about it since I saw how far the 9" rim set outside the rear quarter panel on their car.

That custom front splitter is really nice. I'd be interested in one if I had the CR lip

I really like where this car is going, now I would like to see where the lap times are at with some suspension tuning.
