As for the ones in Adam's pic, they are TE37's.

Then those are what you need to buy. They are teh hottness!

Actually I'm not too big on the light grey and polished lip.

But you're wrong. I'll be curious to see what you wind up with. It's nice to have a couple of Honda peoples on the board.

It sucks that Adam is still fighting the repairs on his car. Maybe he should just trade it in on a 2007 Si.

No kidding... fwiw, here's what I'm getting, hopefully next month (unless something else happens to my car).

Those will look double fine on Milano Red. What size? And who makes em?

Took me forever to find a decent pic of them on a RSX; still haven't seen any on a MR.

Rota Circuit 10, 17x7.5, 17lbs, either Bronze or Full Royal Sport Bronze (not exactly sure right now, the Bronze is very dark and the FRSB is more gold-ish). The wheel pic is the FRSB, the installed pic is Bronze.

[srivendel]

That's a tough call. On your red, I think the lighter bronze color would look great. 17lbs ain't bad at all. I bet you can feel the difference in unspring weight.

Well I'm also hoping to do a BBK at the same time... the 2-pc rotors that come in the kit weigh 9.5lbs each as opposed to the ~16lb stock ones I think the stock 17's weigh 21-22lbs, so about 10lbs of rotational weight, and then another 10lbs of unsprung (the kit comes w/ 2.5lb Dynalite calipers), yeah, it will be fairly noticeable

[Adam Payrot]

This is the closest I could find... not the C10, but the color looks like it is the same. I think I want the lighter color too.



I've considered red lugs as well, but I think I'm going to stick with black ones.

What does an RSX BBK run these days? Similar kits for the Si should start appearing any day now.

[Adam Payrot]

I'm going with a kit that some guy pieced together. It is a little cheaper, but he AX'es and does some track events I believe, so I trust the kit.

BBK Kit

Every other kit out there is over $1k I think. I don't want to do anything to the rears, I'll have a more aggressive pad in the back to compensate for the extra front braking power, but I think that should be good enough. If not, I'll look into an adjustable proportioning valve.

*EDIT* Looks like I was a little off on the weights... Didn't know the stock calipers weighed that much. The stock rotors are a couple lbs lighter than I remember reading. I was close enough though.

[srivendel]

Damn, that's really cheap. You're sure this guy is legit?

S.

[Adam Payrot]

I made sure, he posts on CRSX and several members have bought from him. Most of the kits out there, you're paying for the name. The parts aren't really all that expensive.

[Adam Payrot]

Crap... well he just recently stopped selling the kits. He did post up part #'s though, guess I'll have to do some more digging around to get my BBK's

[srivendel]

If you have good luck with this, I might pick up a set for the Si. I would imagine the parts are 100% interchangeable.

I am sure you you have already read about it over on the Rice-a-Roni forums, but Jackson Racing sent out an email yesterday stating that the 2006 Civic Si Supercharger System begins shipping Friday. "Horsepower on the base kit increased to 234HP and 171 FT-LBS. of torque. This is using the stock airbox, header and exhaust." $3800.

Year end bonus checks don't go out until next week. Besides, I'm supposed to upgrade the driver before I go upgrading the car.

235hp with the muffler chopped off and a straight through with LEDs in the 5" tip, welded onto the factory pipe.

Let me know what you find out, I think I have all the part #'s now I even found a place that sells a kit that is similar, but I think I can find the parts for cheaper.
