cobalt addiction is my preffered choice
however if u go to the vendors forums look around in there and you'll find a place

i have a buddy with a b16 swap, ITR tranny and bolt ons and he pulls about a car on me. they(hondas) can be fast when done right, but there is too many "ricers" that "hack" the job and they are slow.

the interceptor is very easy install... the wideband u have to get the o2 sensor welded into your downpipe...
best to go with the triple gauge color matched from cobalt addiction, i have it and it looks great!

My friends CRX is dope. He's had 3 already. All black, 2 Si's and a DX. His one Si had a ZC, but his new one has an LS and bolt ons. Totally slammed. But a total sleeper on the outside. Complete with rust and dents. He has a B16 that he's building up for it though. He's beaten alot around here. The thing that I like when racing in one of those is it does feel like a race-car. The little **** shakes around, handles awesome, pops when you shift, and does just about everything awesome. When I get back into mine I remember how much I hate computer controlled cars. haha
