I have a SS clutch line but it was replaced when I put the ACT stage 1 in. The pedal feel was greatly increased (more pressure needed to apply) but that could have also been due to the clutch, so I can't say for sure. Now I've got the Spec stage 3 in so I can't comment on the stock feel.

I will say for certain that I can tell a difference driving my MSP and the MSP I drove about two weeks ago. Whether that be because of the clutch itself, the lightened flywheel I have or the lines, I dunno.

I've thought about getting one but the idea of having to schedule appts for "updates" to the maps doesn't seem ideal to me.

I'd rather go standalone and learn the shit myself than have someone else tell me when they can work me in to set a new map, which I learn nothing about.

I've heard hella good things about them, though.

I've sold so many SS clutch lines.... It's nuts. They make a dramatic increase to be honest. I've put them on my last 3 cars. Usually I did it when I replaced the clutch, but my FC I put on by itself. You wouldn't think there was that much expansion in a rubber clutch line... even one on a brand new car.

I got one of the two sets apexr1 got imported with both the front and rear camber plates. I think i paid 770 + shipping which was a steal!


I have to say, the HID headlights are another mod that i LOVE. They make the car standout and look soooo damn nice!

There are only a few options for coming directly off the turbo that I am aware of.
1. GHL : nice piece, separated wastegate design
2. Corksport: currently out of stock(did they ever sell one of these?)
3. MAM : looks good
4. Ion: no longer in business

Actually, Ion is in business (they're a few hours south of me), but I'm not sure if they are still making parts for the Pro/P5/MSP.

If anyone would like, I can contact them and find out what products they may still have available. (I just got a set of springs from them.)

I've had a lot of problems along the way. Wagner stole from me, Powerdyne tried tripling the price on me..etc. I had to go back to square 1 and start over. I'm using all new hardware now. The new shop I'm working with is a family owned forge. They make all their own metals in house. The brackets are sand cast and will look like OEM pieces. The pipes are all lostwax molded (not cut/welded bends or bent pipe) lightweight aluminum. The custom superchargers are T04e-based gear-driven units that are self-lubricated (no tapping of the oil pan or excess oil heat). the old compressor was only good for about 12psi. This new one will be able to run 20+psi daily with no problems. It's a healthy sized blower. Should make plenty of power when I'm finished. The inlet is 4" and the outlet is 3.5"....it'll move a lot of air. Also the internal step-up ratio is up 10% over the powerdyne. So that's just gravy.

Anyway, if this question had of been asked a couple of weeks back, I would have said my 19" Giovanna Kobes. But I just sold them last week as I'm simplifying things a bit for the '06 season.

Favorite mod now,.....hmmmm,,....I guess my Erebuni wing. I get lots of complements on it, and you don't see a lot of pros with them, so yeah, that's my final answer.

then why haven't you ever come by and talked with me about it?! (sssh)
I may have to do that yet... Unfortunately, there's two major factors at play: the almighty $$, and this is my only vehicle, so down-time doesn't really work out so well. :)

The custom superchargers are T04e-based gear-driven units that are self-lubricated (no tapping of the oil pan or excess oil heat).

You are planning to put that on a Mazda?

Holy Crap, It's effin HUGE!

hondas aren't the only engines that use jackshafts to drive blowers. The machinist I'm working with has been trying to get me to switch to a jackshaft system but that increases the cost $500-750 per unit and adds more stuff to go wrong. K.I.S.S.

I think my latest addition is currently my favorite. My Hiboost FMIC. Feels like it smoothed out the power delivery quite a bit.

Also got it form Ken at Protege Garage. Better price than you could get anywhere.. period!

I don't have many mods, but my favorite is definitely the summer wheels/tires. They completely change the look of the car, and make the responsiveness much better. I can't wait for spring! :(
