Blox 490 Gunmetal Shift Knob, was suppose to be platinum but there was a misunderstanding. Its cool ill just settle with this, way better than the oem knob.

Same and working the same place as well. Weather has been pretty good besides the semi cold nights. On the fence about going s/c now. Reasons being is i miss being boosted, trying to get a new place and being turbo and issues that come along with it especially with the trans doesn't sound ideal. I figure s/c now if I can find a good priced used kit and get a new place. Maybe turbo in the future after im settled down. There are 3 good deals in the market right now. 2 being s/c and 1 is t/c but I don't have enough so I'll just have to save more.

Whatever deal comes up between ct-e or jrsc and if the deal is worth it. KW is awesome for the power it makes but if I ever wanna go even faster that isn't possible with KW.

Thats true. aparently on the 9th gens you can go down to a smaller pullie to make more power because our engines dont rev as high . But the ct-e is mor customizable along with the jrsc i have this site that clame they sell the jrsc but im not sire if its legit or what but heres the site http://gprauto.mybisi.com/product/jackson-racing-supercharger-kit-07-civic-si#

Oh really? that's pretty cool. Yeah that's why I picked those 2 for my options. Thanks for the site but looking into used deals considering they are more bang for ur buck and cheaper too. There is a guy I know around here selling his entire setup for $3900 but I won't have enough for awhile.
