Yeah a small town over here. Not much modified rides here. But if you do have one, it like you're a star here....everyone knows you. Not much G or Z's over here also. I am one of the only G that is fixed up and the other 2 or girls. But the rides get admired all the time by people of all age here. I love the spotlight. So now I am looking for more power, to run with the V8s....LOL

Call EDO Performance in Huntington Beach, CA, ask for Danny and he'll work out a deal with you for a price you cant resist, they got super good deals. My car is going in this weekend for the supercharger install. Put it this way, i got a quote a while back for a Vortech installed, everywhere i go people quote me from 75-100 an hr and its about 10hrs labor, EDO charged me 550 total for just the install labor on the Vortech

well i have two shop here in Lafayette, Louisiana that can do the install. One of them is AMS and I know they are very knowledgable with FI being that he own two 9 sec civics. But the thing is I think he can install the supercharger but he cant tune it for me since he doesn't know Z/Gs. I want to get the UTEC and have the installed and tune at the same time. I just want to get it all done and over with.

you also have to remember that if you dont have a shop nearby that can fix it when it breaks down, you are goin to be up shti's creek. esp if you dont have a spare to drive.
