Holy hell dude, nice freaking Sol. I'm buying my first in a couple of weeks and you've definitely inspired me. Damn it's sexy, LOVE the boost gauge!
N/A Is back!
I got rid of the supercharger on Saturday. Was sick and tired of all the issues and the garbage that's associated with JRSC kits. The brackets fit poorly, it used Allen head bolts (which were of a poor grade), the crank pulley couldn't use an OEM tool, the power it made was NOT impressive, it went through belts, had massive heat soak, blow-by issues, burned through charger gaskets (ended up using Loctite 510 for f**k's sake!), etc etc etc. Sold the kit at a profit though, even considering the money I put into repairs / parts.
So I'm back to naturally aspirated. Snagged a Weapon R header (Mugen 4-1 copy) for DIRT cheap, sold the Comptech to a friend. Still running on Neptune RTP with my AEM UEGO, so I'll be able to squeeze a few more drops out of the semi-stock motor. Got some goodies coming in the mail soon, so beginning of September is going to be fun.
Parts On Order:
* OEM Timing Belt, h2o pump, tensioner, spring, valve cover gasket
* EG6 / EG2 SiR Airbox
* OEM Breather Pipe Setup (metal piping for valve cover breather and FITV)
* CTR N1 Enduro crank pulley + belt
* JDM <super secret / undecided lol> 2.5" Header
* BLOX 2.5" Test Pipe
I'm stoked to actually DRIVE the thing again. It's been down more than it's been on the road, and I'm sick of it. I bought this car to have fun, not to swear at and resent.

The car is freakin nice man. Glad to hear it'll be on the road. These things are so much fun to drive.
Are you using LED bulbs for the guages? If so, is there a special trick like there is for the 6th gen to get them to look even, or just direct replacement?
