well it started when some kid with an rsx came over here and started saying how fast his rsx-s is with his i/h/e and reflash. so thats when the sarcasm started with the "rsx is the fastest car in the world" and so on

(for the record, english isn't my first language either)

Stock brakes will hold up just fine if you replace the pads, lines and fluid on them. My G35 did just fine that way while I had it. It's not the brakes but it's the items in the brakes that make the difference.

actually I picked up some gains with the popchargers and this looks like the popcharger setup so who knows?

and, this isn't butt dyno numbers it's actual dynos..... that being said if the injen cai was out I'd bought them instead but I'm not spending anymore money on intakes right now.

thought i'd update: my phonecam-video sucks and you can't hear jack, but the car sounds bad *** from 4500rpms+. so, videos pending at some point

aside from that, i just realized that i didn't remove the scratch-protection plastic wrap on the injen logos yet and they haven't melted or anything, so the engine bay can't be THAT hot... regardless i might throw some intake ducts on there to improve airflow anyway (done on every SRI i've owned), or i might just trim down the stock intake ducts to fit with the installed filter, haven't decided.
