Thanks guys, we have these in stock and ready to ship. We will be waiting for your orders.

May I suggest asking friends, family, or loved ones to help with the purchase... We have the rest of our lives to receive socks and sweaters under the tree, why not ask for something that we will actually be very excited about for a change?!

Probably a small inconsequential thing, but I happened to notice today.
All the pictures youve seen are from 06 models. There was a TSB for the belt because it was making a humming, diesel sounding noise. They rerouted the belt to eliminate the noise. They did that to mine.

Ah, well that explains that, then. Weird to think that something as seemingly small as belt routing can make such a difference.

You should see gains of roughly 5hp and 5tq across the entire RPM band.

Very substantial considering this mod only costs about $200 right now...

What I finally did after the third try to get it off was go to a local car shop and asked them knock the nut loose off the crank. He mentioned he had a 1000ft/lbs tq. wrench just for Honda's/Acura's as they are notorious for their locked crank nut.

So for $20 bucks the guy knocked it loose and tightened it back up just enough to where I would be able to get it off at home. Before then I tried everything with the exception of using a breaker bar lodged between the control arm or such and bumping the engine. Quite a few say that is the best option but it was too risky for me.

You could also break the w/p pulley bolts loose with the belt still on as the tension will hold it still. Is the NST w/p pulley oversized to prevent it from being underdriven?
