Hello 8thgen, I've been going back and forth on what to do with my '08 Galaxy Grey FA5 and I think I finally came to a conclusion. I'm going to go ahead and do what Honda does best; making a high compression, high revving, naturally aspirated, torqueless sport compact that surprises its competition.
Here's when I first got it in January.
Some more pictures.
Here are some things I ordered in May.
Pictures from June after I installed my intake, header, exhaust, rear mount.
Now here's what I picked up the start of August.
K24A4 - 80,000kms (50,000mi)
September 30th - Cams delivered!
I absolutely love how well the car works since the I/H/E, the car surprises quite a few people when they try to run down my 4dr SI.
Over the summer I had the SI to all the drag weekends so far, I started off with a 14.7@99mph for my first event now I'm down to 14.202@101mph, hopefully breaking into the 13's during the last event.
