I know I would really like to see a rear drum to disk conversion, better raidator (fluydine maybe), other intake manifolds besides just kms, and maybe some more interals as well? most of these arent too much to ask, but what would you like to see for our cars?

Some time ago I heard that Goldgen Eagle was making an intake manifold for our cars. I have gone to their website but there is no info on it.

I do a lot of autocross, and camber plates are quicker to adjust, More acurate and give Higer degrees of camber adjustment. More then Likely Ill end up Running about -2 Deg camber on the front.

I would like to see some of the big dawgs put out turbo kits.. HKS or Greddy. Other than that I dunno. . 4 wheel disc brakes would be cool. Also I would like to see Mugen or Spoon get into some serious stuff for our cars. .

why do you trust hks or greddy, more then turbodiscounters or the other one whatever it is, also many people have been able to make custom turbo, so why not go that way and copy someones design? im just trying to be practical, but what maybe will come out for our cars

I'd like to see GReddy get off their asses and finish the fix for Honda's DIS single coil ignition so I can use it on the E-manage. (or reasonable ignition control without convering in general)

Other than that... I'm happy.

from which car is that a conversion from the acura rsx or what? k20s will eventually get cheaper and you can get a 6 speed tranny with it, i would love a supercharger as well, but i dont think were a top priority for them

No we're not, and the conversion can be taken from an RSX (DC5) or the new SI (EP3) and with the RSX you can do the 5 lug conversion but you don't have to.

Thats LAUNCH CONTROL. Traction control closes the throttle and turns off the power until the car regains traction, then lets it go. That will make you slower, its a safety feature, not a racing thing. Just figure out how to launch the car without spinning the tires. Theres only 114 ft-lbs of torque, its not hard to do. Only Ferrari offers Launch Control on a Road Car.

Supercharger

Turbo would be nice from GReddy or HKS...they spend mucho $ on R&D and make sure their **** is flawless before mass production

Rear disc conversion!!!!!!!!!!!!

New body kits from Veilside or someone.....

ECU upgrade is out, which is a plus. V-AFC II is out, which is another plus. Some internals...cam shafts, pisons, valves...

Some MUGEN parts would be real nice!

Some good shock other than Koni......Tokico & KYB due out in Winter this year

Rear disc conversions ...you can even rip one off from a 6thgen SI I think, though you need some 7th gen parts. Plus they already have conversion kits out there.

Intake Manifold. KMS one looks kinda cheap, and I heard it didn't do much.

Camshaft. High performance cams would be nice. Not regrinded ones.

Companies that know how to rework engine internals, port polish, pistons, etc.

More legal stuff. DC Sports' header seems weak.

I would like to see a limited slip diff. like my fri4ends SER Spec V has .... even the Si can't compare with that car, and the Si would cost more new than what he paid for his Spec V new.

Our cars aren't really off the line cars. If you wanted an off the line car, Civic is not what you should drive. What you really cool look into though is things like the Solo 2 Autox. Traction control would help. I would also like to see an All Wheel drive system for our cars.
