Leaving BWI to MCO :weeeeeeeeee:
When I installed VitViper’s Stage 2 aftercooler I had clearance issues with the hood, and the radiator reservoir. Making spacers made from playdough (soft clay), i determined where and how much clearance i needed between the hood and blower hardware. Only required removing a small area of the hood’s structural sheet metal and it didn’t affect the overall strength of the hood. For the radiator reservoir i used a heat gun to slightly modify its shape to clear the bypass valve. Overall everything looks like it came from the factory - so far no one has noticed the modifications.Just Curious if anyone here is running the Merc 2.25" aftercooler on a CT kit? I just upgraded from a 1.25" aftercooler and having a lot of issue with clearance under the hood. I have the hood latch set for the highest adjustment and the hood still hits the map sensor/relocation block and my KTuned throttle body bracket. I just ordered the Karcepts TB bracket with has less of a angle and moving the map and adaptor block out of the TB. Just very strange since I have ever heard of any one having this issue...
Do it! Took mine out today and it felt great hearing the whineSnow has melted and it's starting to warm up. I’m starting to get the itch to breakout my RSX from storage and get my much needed fix of the supercharger whine!

Datalogging is the recommended way (I believe).Anyone done a boost leak test with their setup? Plenty of info online about boost leak testing a turbo, but I'd like to find out how the process is different with a S/C...
For sure... Usually I would flip out, but I saw her face and just let it go. I was more upset that she scratched her bumper on the MDX cause we literally just got it repaired <6 months ago.Bummer! I know how that feels. A friend did that to mine a few years back, except it was the quarter panel! Way more work to fix that. Don't let it get you down!Sad day yesterday... My wife reversed her MDX and hit the passenger side fender of my RSX in the driveway. Haven't even had the time to assess the damage <a href="http://forums.clubrsx.com/images/smilies/facepalm4.gif" border="0" alt="" title="FacePalm" ></a>

Was researching fender replacements and stumbled on an A-SPEC rear lip bnib from a dealer. I got excited and purchased off impulse. It's the last piece missing to complete my A-SPEC kit. Received email that it must be special ordered lol.
Either way, I'll get it eventually. Going to have to change to muffler tip as the lip won't fit. Also going to have to figure it a way to protect the lip once installed.
Other than that, raining non stop here in FL. After a trip up to ATL this weekend, going to start looking at maintenance for the RSX. Just dropped ~$1300 on the 110k service of the MDX (timing belt job, spark plugs, new serpentine belt, new pcv assembly, oil + filter change, transmission drain & fill, rear differential drain & fill), but the SUV feels brand new again, so Mrs is happy.
